So I'm sitting here trying to allow Angel messages to come to me. As I'm doing this, I'm finding that it's growing more difficult. The harder I'm trying, the harder it is. Simple principle, right? With anything, though, easier said than done.
I completed my first Kundalini Yoga class today. My legs were shaking as I was walking out of the class. Going into each pose, I thought, I'm athletic & flexible... this is easy. About half way into each pose, I noticed it became increasingly difficult. The harder I tried, the harder it was.
Do you see a pattern? In trying harder, or trying more, we are actually increasing the difficulty of something. We begin to push away the very thing that we are trying harder to obtain. This is a tricky concept to understand. How can someone achieve what they want without trying to achieve it in the first place?
The real trick is to understand the principle. When pursuing something, it's important to create the circumstances for you to have that something. When you begin to go after the thing you want, it's important to be aware of the temptation to chase after it. Think of it as the creepy guy who says he loves you right away. The more you pull away, the harder he tries. He tries so hard to get you, that he begins to buy you gifts. At first it's a cute stuffed animal. Then it's a bouquet of roses. He keeps trying & trying until you either slap him with a restraining order, or you do something that makes him stop chasing you. Why didn't this work? What if he really was a good guy?
The creepy guy didn't allow room for you to receive. He didn't allow himself to have the girl because he didn't create the space for him to have her. He subconsciously pushed the girl away when he began trying harder to win her love. The harder he tried, the harder it became.
The lesson here is that if you want to manifest anything in your life, it's important to
1. Know exactly what it is that you want.
2. Create the space & the circumstances that allow you to have it.
It's like an empty cup. You get a cup when you're thirsty, then you fill it with whatever you're thirsty for.
Remember: The harder you try, the harder it is.
