Act As If, Then You'll Become

Things need to happen before they can actually happen. 

Take a lottery winner for example. When they find out they have the winning number sequence, everything changes before anything actually changes. 

They start to feel excited. They start to feel grateful. They start to think about how and what they are going to spend their money on. They feel the feelings before reality has time to catch up, but they know it will. They take the wish as granted, no matter how long it takes to come to fruition. 

Another example is seeds. You don't see a sprout the same day you plan a seed. In fact, for a while it can look like nothing is happening at all. But you keep watering the plant, understanding that good things take time, and you give that soon to be plant the love, compassion and attention that it needs to grow. 

How would you feel if your desire was already yours? Would you respond to your thoughts differently? Would you choose different thoughts? You can apply this concept to any area of your life where you perceive struggle. 

If you want a boyfriend but are still single, try to embody the relationship of what it would actually feel like to be in the relationship you desire. What would you do differently? What would you think about? How would your conversations change?

Would you complain about how lonely it is being single and how you're never going to have a relationship if you were already in a relationship? No; so don't complain about it now. It's counterproductive. When you perceive lack, you attack more lack. When you focus on abundance, you attract more abundance. 

Bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and the two will eventually merge. Start with your thoughts, and watch how quickly things turn in your favor. 

Complaining is Poverty, Gratitude is Wealth.
