Why you are not manifesting your dreams and desires
“You’ve got to be before you can do, and do before you can have.” Zig Ziglar
Maintaining balance between being and doing is a delicate dance. Be – do – have is the formula Zig Ziglar gives us in the quote above, but it’s very common to go about things in a do – have - be way. The other trap I’ve seen people fall into is the be - have trap, totally forgetting about the do!
I used to live in the world of 100% doing and didn’t care for the airy fairy land of being. ‘Just get on with it’ was my motto. Realising this wasn’t working too well for me, I started opening up spiritually, learning about universal laws and spending time on my state of being.
In a total rejection of my old ways, being equalled good and doing equalled bad which is just not true, they both have their place and work wonderfully together when you know how. I have come to see that many of us living with an awareness of the importance of our state of being are not taking enough action. Thinking (and I don’t believe consciously) instead that we can jump from being to having, skipping doing or taking action.
How the manifestation process works
Manifesting your dreams and desires happens when you work consciously both physically and energetically, with an awareness of doing AND being.
When you set about manifesting your intentions it usually starts off by taking action (physical). Eventually your actions lead you to an undesired result (physical). This result provides you with valuable feedback on clearing and growth opportunities, limiting beliefs held, clarifying or resetting intentions etc (energetic). You do the inner clearing work (energetic) and then move into physical action in the direction of your goals (physical). You then either achieve the desired result and move onwards and upwards or not and start the process again. Either way you are back to the beginning stage of taking action and getting feedback on what to do next.
Dreaming, visioning, visualising, intention-setting etc happens in the metaphysical/energetic world, action happens in the physical world. To physically realise your dreams you need to take physical action, physical action aligned with your intentions.
Action is not a dirty word but a valuable, and often missing, piece in the manifestation process if you are seeking a life of fulfilment in harmony with your true self. As long as you are doing the inner work too, don’t let your fear stop you from taking action no matter how much it justification it throws your way. Taking aligned action can transform fear into pure manifestation power.
Be honest with yourself, are you taking enough physical action?
If no, see the difference taking one aligned action each day in the direction of your goals make.

BLUESKYU2:
hello, interesting reading . i,m not quite sure i understand about being and doing and reaching a nice medium. I in my opinion cant seem to do enough because there is so much misery, etc. in this world that i believe one cannot do enough even if they try. but if you want to be happy with ones self and have a good relationship with our creator and the angels that guide us and feel good about the amount you are giving ( my opinion) then good going and good luck. i started seeing the sincrenicities a few years ago, also noticing i can manipulate electricity if i am in the right place in my mind. i thought i was going crazy until i got on the net and seen that i am definatley not the only one who feels the urgency to do something and tghat time is really flying, that goes along with technology and how it is spiraling to a singularity. so its nice to have friends.
