We manifest our reality. Let that sink in for a moment.  Now say it again, “We manifest our reality.” I was watching an interview with Barbara Streisand and she was asked, “Did you ever think you would end up here, with 60 albums to your name?”  Her response floored me.  She said, “Yes, I knew I would.  I believe we manifest our reality and that’s all I did.”    Wow, what a statement and what confidence!

I am a firm believer that we are what we think we are and that we literally are a product of our thoughts.  Yet something about Barbara’s statement and the confidence behind it has caused me to ponder those words for weeks. So through my blog, I want to challenge you!  In the weeks since the interview I have asked myself, “If we manifest our reality,  what is it that I want to manifest ( this year, in three years, five years)?”  As I continue to conjure up this future reality, I find myself bound by my own chains of limitation.  On one hand I feel guilty seeking more as I am already incredibly blessed.  On the flipside, I realize that it is indeed true,  we do manifest our reality.  All we have to do is create the vision.

Last week I pulled an old journal out of my bookshelf from exactly 15 years ago.  One of the questions said, “Where will you be in twenty years?” My statement was: Married to David with two children, a boy and a girl. I will have sold my corporate janitorial business, have a new business that I love and will be living on the open water.  Okay, creepy. It’s fifteen years later and the fact is that I manifest my reality- exactly!  Seeing my journal gave me the confidence to believe that if I did it once I can do it again.  So the question again, “What do I wish to manifest now, as I enter the next stage of my life?”  More importantly, WHAT ABOUT YOU?  Spend time this week pondering your future, reviewing your priorities, and decide what you will do, be, and have in the next decade!  Time flies and my hope is you will look back in fifteen years and see your vision manifest as reality!
