Manifest Yor Blessings!

"You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings."

-- Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love, p. 260)

Blessings abound! But they don't come to fruition without your participation. I mean, God provides worms for the birds, but He doesn't just throw them in their nests!

You and God are co-creators of your reality. You can rest assured that he'll do His part, just make sure that you do yours.

And the first step in doing yours is just to recognize how many friggin' blessings you have. So, make a list. Write down everything that you're thankful for, every way in which you feel blessed. Then do the old prioritization dance and decide which of those blessings you'd really like to see manifest more abundantly in your life.

You're done with the easy part; now it's time to get to work, to do the business of co-creating. And what might that work look like? It might look like praying, fervently. It might look like real, roll up your sleeves, down and dirty work. It might look like research or socializing or even fun.

You may not actually know what it is that you have to do to make your blessings blossom, so don't be afraid to go the trial and error route. Just make sure that your participation is relentless. We've all heard the old saw "God helps those who help themselves." Still true, still true. By goosing your blessings along, you literally take their manifestation into your own blessed hands. And nothing brings more blessings your way than really enjoying, and taking advantage of, the ones you already have.
