What's Really Causing Us to Stumble?
by Gary Glasscock 

Did you know that there is one thing that is probably stopping you from manifesting the life you desire?  There is. After giving much thought to this, I have finally uncovered what that one thing is, and it's doubt.

You see, when we put out an intention, how we feel really plays a big part in our results.  But what happens a lot of times is that doubt creeps in and the next thing you know we are sabotaging ourselves.  You see, doubt will bring a lot of things with it, but mainly it brings fear.  Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of what others may think, fear of... well, you just plug in whatever your fear is.

But doubt definitely causes a lot of misfires on manifesting the life you desire.  For example, you state that you'd like to make X amount of dollars by such-and-such date.  Ok, you start off really good, but then doubt comes along and you start to think, "This isn't working," or "I'll never make that kind of money," or "What will others think of me when I make that kind of money?"  All of this comes from doubt.  Your doubt that the Law of Attraction, or the Laws of the Harvest, actually work.  Well they do and when you start doubting it, you will find that your doubts will actually bring about your failure to manifest the life you desire.

The Law of Attraction and the Laws of the Harvest work every time, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.  It just flat out works.  We put our intentions "out there" and then if we don't believe that the Universe/God/Higher Self/Whatever you want to call it, will deliver on our request, it just won't happen.  You must believe that it will come to pass, or it won't.  It's just that simple. 

Our belief though is governed by many different things, but mainly it comes from what we have been taught since birth.  All these things that we've been taught actually limit us in our efforts.  For instance, we've all heard that you must work hard to get ahead in this life.  That you must commit yourself to your "job" in order to get where we want to go. This has been pounded into our heads over and over again, until in the end we accept this as a belief.  Well, it's wrong.  Just like so many of our beliefs are wrong.

"Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve."

I can't recall right off hand who said that (and that's really sad because I know who said it, I just can't recall right now), but it is a resounding truth.  Just think back over your life and see all the things you have manifested in your life.  That's proof that the Law of Attraction and the Laws of the Harvest work.  From that we should get the belief that no matter what, it always works.  Without fail.

So put your intentions "out there" and BELIEVE that whatever you're intending will come to pass, and it will.  Now, we live in an instant gratification society (at least in North America) and a lot of times we tend to measure our results too quickly. That's when doubt creeps in and destroys our intentions.  So we must allow for the passage of time for our intentions to be answered.  And we have to be ready for what comes and act on the inspirations we receive.

Let me tell you what has happened to me so that perhaps you can get a better perception of this.  I had put out the intention "I make more money now than ever before."  What happened then was that the wheels were put into motion and all of a sudden I was inspired to write a book.  Then I was directed to co-author a book with my chiropractor.  After thinking about it he accepted my proposal.  I've acted on these ideas as they came to me and I've been rewarded every time.  Once I take action on an inspired thought things just start happening to bring about my intention.  Now, this didn't happen overnight, it had to take time.  But because I believed that my intention would happen I received these inspired thoughts and took action.  Now my chiropractor and I are working on co-authoring a book.  We plan to self-publish it and I will be taking care of the actual writing of the book and the marketing of it (if there are any appearances to be made Dr. Roberts will be included in those as well).  Basically what I am looking at here is that Dr. Roberts has the knowledge we wish to convey in the book.  I have the writing ability and the marketing knowledge.  So this sets us up pretty well.  He provides the content, I arrange it and write it in an easy to understand manner, and Walla, we have a book!

So BELIEVE that your intentions will come about, because they will.

Peace, Abundance, and many Blessings to you,
