The One Method We Used to Manifest Exactly What We Wanted
If you told me 5 months ago that I would be writing this from a new house over 500 miles away, I would have laughed. Yet, here I am sitting at the same table but with a new view, literally and figuratively.
Like millions of others, our lives were turned upside down by COVID-19. My husband was laid off from a job that promised for over a year to relocate us down south. Boom just like that our dream was taken away. Before the layoff, we were mentally ready and totally dependent on that promise. Now with our only option of a move thwarted, we were disappointed and nervous about what the future held for us. Feeling helpless is no fun.
Unemployed and quarantined, we kept our sanity by walking – a lot. During those sanity walks, we found clarity and hope. One night, as we walked and talked, as if I knew what he was talking about my husband said, “Let’s just go!”
I clearly was not on the same page yet and asked, “Go where?”
He said, “Let’s take life into our own hands and just move anyway.”
I stopped for a minute, thought about it, and unequivocally agreed. I mean, why not?! Who or what were we waiting on?
So, the next day we told our family and called a realtor. We never looked back or hesitated. It was the right move and despite some bumps along the way, we made it. Within about 60 days, we made the decision, sold our house, and headed south.
Cheers from our new home.
While we are still settling in, it still seems like we are on vacation. Low and behold, we are not. This is our lovely new reality.
Life is about taking charge and creating our own destinies – not waiting on others to make that happen. If nothing else, COVID-19 has taught us that life is anything but normal and everything can change in a minute.
I am so grateful that we listened to our intuition and pivoted. We learned to stop waiting on others and start making things happen ourselves. Through that process, we manifested exactly what we wanted into our lives. We put our desires out into the Universe, and while it wasn’t exactly the route we expected, the outcome was the same. In fact, the path that got us here was more meaningful because we took matters into our hands and made it happen.
In the end, they’re the only hands that should hold our destinies anyway, right?!
If you have something that you are waiting on or want to manifest, make sure you are holding the reigns and go for it. Taking life into your own hands is more than an action, it’s a way of thinking.
Cheers to new beginnings and to making life happen.
