"Our deepest fear
is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is
our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I
to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to
be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all
meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --
Marianne Williamson (my favorite quote of hers)
I'm always trying to
manifest little things just for the fun of watching it happen and realizing my
power in creating what I want in my life. We all have the power to manifest
what we desire, we just have to stay tuned in to our inner genius, our higher
selves (or intuition, or source, or all that is, or God, or whatever you call
it). Here's an example of a small, but fun manifestation that happened to me
recently. I wanted a porch swing but didn't want to pay $100 or more for one,
which was the typical price I saw after doing research online. I thought about
it for a week. Then, I looked on craigslist and the 2nd post was a woman in my
neighborhood who was selling hers for $40. I sent her an email to see if I
could come take a look. I was the first responder. I went to look at it and
asked her if she would be willing to negotiate. She told me to come back later
that evening after someone else was coming to look at it.
We find ourselves
faced with little decisions like these daily. I always go by what I feel. If I
don't feel strongly one way or another about something, I will postpone the
decision until my intuition calls/leads me. To find out how to know if it's your intuition you're feeling or an ego-based emotion, read some of my past blog posts or come to one of my workshops. In the case of the porch
swing, I could have just bought it on the spot and paid the reasonable $40 but
I just didn't feel strongly that that was what I should do. Maybe this wasn't
the ideal porch swing for me. So I waited to hear from the seller later that
evening to know if the other person had bought it. She said the other person
didn't show and she just wanted to get rid of it so she said it was mine for
whatever I wanted to give her for it!
