“There is more to life than increasing its speed” (Gandhi & Desai, 1957) Life can be likened to a deep forest and on occasion we get lost in creating our path through it. If we are determined to find our way, it is necessary to face the fears and doubts that are always lurking, keeping us stuck when we do not face them. We cannot wait until the day arrives when there is an absence of fears and doubts, as it does not happen. If the forest is a metaphor for life, why do so many of us stay close to the entry not venturing in?

"I don't fit in, especially with my family." "I feel like an outsider.” “I felt ok until I got to high school but then I lost my self-confidence. I didn’t belong to the popular crowd, and I did not belong to the ‘geek' clique.” “I began to feel like a loser. I knew I wasn’t a loser, that I was just different, but I felt it just the same.” “It seems to me that all the successful people are paired up”.” Most of my college friends are married, and I’m still single.”When we get together, I come away feeling down on myself, like I just don’t fit in any more.

(This is the third part in a series of how to successfully accelerate manifestation to achieve your desired results. To read the second part in this series see Accelerate Manifestation, Use the Power of Visualization) I have addressed previously the power of writing down what we really want. This very action helps us to define, be more accurate, taking our desires out of the vapors of wishing and ruminating and puts them into concrete formr

When we procrastinate, we put our dreams, our hopes and our yearnings on hold. We put things off under the illusion that we will get to them someday, when there is more of time. We deny fears and postpone action while covering ourselves up with layers of excuses, like an onion. We deny the biggest obstacle holding us back. It is us! So how can we lick that “old devil” called procrastination that allows us to squander so many precious minutes, hours and even days? Delaying what we need to do feeds our fears instead of our courage and passion for life.

And now let us welcome the New Year full of things that have never been-Rainer Marie Rilke Every New Year we make resolutions, telling ourselves this year will be different. Studies have shown that just forty percent of resolutions are successful after six months. Wanting change is not enough. Not knowing ourselves at a deep level is a major impediment to the change we need to make, if we are to have more of what we want manifesting in our lives. Without knowing we stay unaware and keep repeating negative experiences.

Life if full of transitions and as this one goes; summer into autumn may not be a highly dramatic Neiman Marcus moment. It may be a more practical down to earth restocking of our shelves and inner selves. What is important here is the attitude you bring to the restocking. If you do it mindfully this seasonal transition provides an opportunity to live life in a more meaningful way with eyes wide open. If we are not mindful summer can merge into autumn finding us picking up the pace of school, games, hunting, parties etc in an automatic headless, unfulfilling way.

The last two months of the year usually finds us in a frantic state of shopping, decorating, cooking and traveling, so is it any wonder we are more stressed than cheerful. Having so many "to do" lists, we are wound up and too exhausted to enjoy that which normally makes us happy, as in cherished traditions and intimate family gatherings. There is an underlying expectation at this time of the year, that everybody is supposed to be cheerful, and to some degree caught up in the frenetic activity. The external pressure of being merry creates an unrealistic goal for many of us.
