Why aren't my dreams coming true? Is "positive thinking" a farce?
Been working hard to stay above the fray and imagine a wonderful future for myself, my friends and the country. I pray and meditate and visualize. I write mission statements and goals. I keep gratitude lists every day.

And things just keep going to sh*t. Is this some universal "Debbie Downer" spell?

What's going on?

Thanks.

Envision the joy of death and you working hard to pass on that vision while serving in this dimension. Love one another. Be faithful, as much as humanly possible, to trust in the Living God and his one and only, sacrificial Son.

Maybe less wishful thinking and more actions to create change would be the solution for you.

It basically is a farce but it sells a lot of books and videos.
Everyone has free will and does not necessarily obey your will unless you use stronger magic spells and witchcraft but that’s a slippery slope.

You're probably not being 100% honest with yourself and you probably don't know what it truly is that you want.

Those things are revealed by paying rapt attention to your subconscious as you are going about your day.

It's tricky, because this is knowledge you've been tuning out for most of your whole life and you've forgotten how to listen to it, even though it is the most important information in the world.

Conscious thought and desires are too low hanging of a fruit to resist putting all importance on them instead.

Here's something the motivational coaches will never admit to.

Often times, what is attributed to "positive thinking" is sheer dumb luck.

You know the old saying "shit happens?" Well, sometimes the opposite is true. Sometimes, good things just "happen."

Someone walks into a casino, drops a dollar into the first machine they see, and they hit the jackpot. Was it "positive thinking" that they'd win? No. The random number generator just happened to land in their favor.

Think about it ... who writes books promoting "positive thinking?" Those who got lucky and things went their way.

Does anyone who engages in positive thinking all of their life, but always rolls snake eyes, write a book about how it is all hogwash? And if they did, would anyone want to buy it and make it a best seller? Everyone already knows that life sucks.

It's like that magic unknown quantity known as charisma. How many people do you know who who've read and put into practice every book on how to "win friends" and "influence people," yet everyone treats them like shit?

Meanwhile, there are people who are total assholes, yet when they enter a room, even if everyone's backs are turned, somehow know they're there, turn around, and like in Cheers, shout "Norm!"

Why are assholes rewarded?

The thing is, "positive thinking" alone gets you nowhere. Neither will giving up. You just keep working hard, keep your nose to the grindstone, and hope that, once in a while, the universe tosses you a bone.

Unfortunately we do not live in a 5D environment yet, where YOU will control your reality.
We Still live in a "Collective Barganing" style reality, there MUST be a consensus! It dictates how our timeline will travel.

I have good news.

I strongly believe that the feeling of DeajaVu is the moment of TimeLine shifts.

At 7:59Pm EST Nov.25 2020, we shifted into a new timeline, I physically felt it this time, at the end I had the knowing that this is the last change, this is the one that will take us all home.

Thanks for the replies.

They’re quite helpful.

Some days, I think that I’d be better off if I just learned to relax and enjoy the ride. I guess. Lol.

That’s goes against the gurus advice.

If the breakdowwn always leads to your material avarice then it won't work or do what you want. If however, you seek to learn (oneself first) then different results might be expected.

Everyone is creating their own reality and some have more power than others and want to bring the whole world down.

OP, sometimes there is stuff blocking your advancement.
This has to be broken down, which is distressing.

I can promise you it does work.
Just keep going and have faith.

Some say that alchemy isn't material, it is mental. By thinking positive thoughts. by appreciating instead of regretting. by being thankful for your slowly change TO yourself and your mental creation of this reality, not reality itself.


there is no need to change reality period. it is already perfect. you simply need to change yourself and how you interpret the world.

if you think the world is paradise .. it is

if you think the world is shit, you build your own mental walls prison to realize your thoughts and make them real to you.
