Do The Work

Consciously creating lifestyle changes takes focus. If you’re not paying attention, life will slide by and “happen to you”’ instead of you being in the driver’s seat actively driving your life to where YOU CHOOSE to be.

Abraham says there are 3 steps to creating anything:

I Ask for something
The Universe Answers
I Allow it to happen

It’s very simple and I don’t disagree. I’ve been a big fan of Abraham for years, and I’m totally on board with this streamlined 3-step process.

Here's a tad more also from Abraham:

I ASK - Some contrast happens, which lets me know that there is something else that I prefer. I want something else, so my vibration is one of asking. The Universe is set up this way. I can’t help but ask for something different when I spot something I don’t want.

THE UNIVERSE ANSWERS – Not my work. The Universe answers my requests every time. No exceptions. Ask and it is given. Done. (Ball back in my court.)

I ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN. The manifestation that the Universe provided is my responsibility. This is where I become involved. The thing I want is already a fact, but I may be resisting it from appearing. If I’m not resisting it – Boom! Here it is. Delivered.

This is where the simplicity of the Universe begins to seem complicated.

Let’s accept the fact that the 3 steps above are all true and good. No debate. But…let’s open it up to some additional steps to be done on my part. If it’s eventually all up to me anyway to pull this thing from the vortex of ALL THINGS CREATED into my current here and now reality, let’s deal with some here and now things to do!

Setting intentions is not enough. There is WORK involved. It’s going to be different for each person, but in general it involves these 3 more things. I’m giving you my break-down here. Feel free to disagree:

Clarity - Contrast may have generated asking, but to really get down to WHAT it is that I want, I need to be very clear about what I’m asking for. Therefore, I’m clear about what I expect to show up.

Alignment - Be an active participant in creation. Take responsibility for becoming THAT PERSON with THAT LIFE. Become part of its creation by acting when inspired…and I mean actually DOING stuff. Alignment is not passive.

Allowance - This is the same as Abraham’s allowing step, with a little more Get-up-off-the-couch to it. This is not passive either. I’m in allowance when I shut down all the resistance that prevents my wanted thing from appearing. There’s a lot I can do in this area besides moan that it has not shown up yet.
