Have you gotten started on the first steps to manifesting your dream?
Maybe you’re crystal clear on your vision, and your intention has come into focus. A spark has become ignited in your soul.
Maybe you’ve recently written an action plan and scheduled time to work on it. You’ve focused consistently on accomplishing the first goals in your action plan, and you’re so happy with your progress!
Take some time to feel gratitude for what you’ve accomplished. Think of the steps you’ve taken to realize your dream and allow gratefulness to flow into your heart.
Now picture in your mind the people who have helped you along the way. Every single one. Consider the divine support you’ve received. Let the images or thoughts or words arise in your mind as you feel the warmth of gratitude fill your heart for all the support you’ve received in manifesting your dream so far.
By being grateful for the steps you’ve taken in manifesting your dream, you cultivate a sense of joy and abundance. You’ll feel energized and tap into the deeper meaning of this dream in your life.
But maybe it hasn’t all gone smoothly. Maybe you’ve stumbled on getting started on your dream. You haven’t been able to be consistent in your schedule due to other challenges that have arisen. You don’t feel like you have the time or energy to work on your dream regularly.

Maybe you’ve tried to take the first steps in your action plan, but you were unable to fully accomplish them. Maybe you haven’t found the support you need to make them happen.
Whatever obstacles have arisen for you, don’t allow yourself to shift into negativity!
Take time right now to think of something you can be grateful for on your journey in realizing your dream. However small it may be, there still is something!
Maybe it’s the fact that you’ve become clearer on the vision for your dream. Maybe you have accomplished a step or two.
Or possibly the obstacles that have arisen have helped you become clearer on your next steps or the importance of this dream in your life.

Maybe you have found a friend who has been a great support during this time for you. Maybe you know you’ve had divine guidance.
Even if you’ve not been able to do all that you’ve wanted to, there still is so much to be grateful for! Take time to allow those pictures and thoughts to arise in your mind and feel the warmth of gratitude flow through your heart.
“If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.”
— Rabbi Harold Kushner
Taking just a few minutes to be grateful can open the door to a wellspring of hope and positivity shifting your outlook in a situation and energizing you for the next steps on your journey.
