Why I am using IM (Part 1)

[Gordon]

Hello,

Finally getting the house to myself and getting my thoughts together...oh how important it is to have a clear head for anything we do in life.

Sitting here with a green tea (trying to drink less coffee) I thought I would get down my thoughts and reasons for using IM in a little more detail than I have done before. I am sure that over the weeks, months and years to come dramatic changes will be taking place in my life. This forum that seems to me to be a very good encouraging place for other to talk about and discuss their experiences with all sorts of subject.

I am also sure at some point I will build a proper blog space. to chart my life and times ahead full of the missing details from here...but I need someone techy to explain the finer details about how this is done.

Meanwhile, IM and why I am using it now. I am, it is true to say at the very start of my new journey of changing a lot of things in my life. Everything from health, family, relationships, money and my business. If today while typing this thread, only at least some of these things worked well in my life then I could say I was a pretty well adjusted person. At the moment I can honestly look at every part of my life and identify some sort of conflict going on. I would also say I have to some extent tried to control and manage those conflicts which now at nearly 41 I am finally ready to admit that things cannot go on the way they have been going and changes need to happen. I do not have any sense of being a failure, because I am not. I am a person who has is someone who is willing to try anything.

In my journey there are some I have spoken about who seem to think that IM is some sort of instant fix for them and will bring them overnight the winning lottery numbers....(IF ONLY), as if pots of money will change an individual. But for me I am trying to manifest some major changes in my life. I know that recently looking in the mirror and shouting at myself...(poor neighbours)...I said enough is enough. My head is getting pulled apart by what I have constantly got to deal with. The real consequence is that nothing is properly getting done or even getting attention.

Metaphorically speaking I have pulled everything off my desk and decided to start again. I am setting several intentions in place to develop myself, to manage my health properly, to help restructure my business and set it off in a new direction. Which I am glad to say some of which is happening.

I have been building a vision board (in a PowerPoint Slideshow). Most people put home and cars on them....and I am no exception to that bit. But to it, I have been adding slides with the type of person I want to be, who I want to associate with, the type of organisations I want to do business with. The type of relationship I want with my other half, our son and other family members.

Some short term manifestations have already been happening. We needed some money to get us over Christmas....and one day I decided we would have it....(see previous thread called....A wee bit of encouragement...)....and within 48 hours had a cheque for £2000/$3500. I had also been focusing on one national organsation I want to do business with....I now have a confirmed meeting with them later this month. I haven't been very good at eating fruit and vegetables.....and LOL....my sister bought me a juicer for Christmas....making lots of juices and smoothies now....(and bowels working great for those who want to know that sort of thing...LOL).

There are a lot more things on my vision board which I am looking at on a daily basis.

I hope and I am sure that there is more people out there who need and want to use IM for personal development, not just for a something for nothing scenario. I know that if I want the finer things in life, then there is a cost to me personally for doing so. So far its a different type of journey than I have ever been on and I am enjoying it immensely. There is a great sense of peace and the worry of life is lifting off me as I see changing in me and my intentions become manifest.

Well it would be nice to hear from other with similar experiances as mine.

HAPPY IMing to you all.

Thank you for sharing. This explains why I-M isn't something separate from all else relating to how we behave. It's part of a much greater assignment/purpose - living congruently and prosperously. I-M doesn't see a trouble with how it manifests what we think about. It only focuses on the why. You found your whys to change your circumstances to the better and so you are witnessing progress in that direction because you started by addressing your subconscious programming, which then has no choice but to give that which it focuses upon.

Only when we program ourselves that there's nothing noble about being poor and living a life filled with problems that we say "enhance our character" can we start to focus our attention on prosperity instead. There's no reason or righteousness behind taking the role of a lone ranger that fights a perceived greater evil and feels pride over being a victim who thinks money is a source of guilt, when we are born with the innate potential of reaching greatness and wealth - The sort of abundance that brings forth the victor from within who understands that prosperity is what the Universe wants us to attract.

Keep at it.

I really liked the idea of creating a vision board with MS PowerPoint. I used to just cut out pictures in magazines or catalogs. After that, I started saving pics on my iPod. But as I'm finding it easier to search for images online for the things I want, I'll begin using PowerPoint today

Thanks
