The thing that is good about the intention for something to be manifested is the feeling you are in (that you expressed so beautifully in that drawing Ready to Work). Whether or not what is called manifestation really works, it's the authentic feeling of desire and hope that is available for us to live in (if we want it). I've found that when I live in that feeling, doors seemed to open, or more likely, I notice a door that has already been open, but that I missed because I was too caught up in useless negative thinking: "this is going to be hard", "it's not going to work out" "nobody wants me" etc. We can have those kind of thoughts, but we don't have to feed them, we go back to that feeling of our heart's desire and dwell it that, and sometimes, it seems that magic happens. <3 Thank you for sharing your story.

You’re so right with this, Tom! I’ve also noticed that when I have an open and optimistic attitude, doors seem to open.

I remember that time so well. You were so ready, and both you and the project were perfect for each other. To answer your question, I feel like sometimes things just line up right when they need to. Like my probable foot injury stopping me from running but my getting a new bike 3 days before that happened, so now I have more time than I thought to explore the world on two wheels.

I love the reframing around the foot injury!
