Success and Fulfillment Just as She Planned

There have been two instances when I applied a Manifesting 123 method of the Movie in my future. The first Movie evolved as I struggled with my “higher purpose” and linking it to an art-driven life. I had traveled to Egypt in 2009, a trip that affected me to my core. There I saw the most dire poverty as well as the most incredible creativity in craft and architecture. The trip clarified for me that the human spirit is compelled to create objects of beauty despite hardship and despair, and that the “Divine” moves through humanity carrying us forward in hope, inspiring civilizations that follow. As my life has been very blessed by recognition of my talent and encouragement to pursue art, I wished to share with others the importance of aesthetic endeavors as having great social, spiritual, and consequent economic value. How could I do this?
In my movie, I stand on a balcony looking out across a foreign landscape. I am at peace. I have come for others as a teacher or a liaison. I may be there as a leader or part of a well funded international organization. Without details, I simply was open and saw myself as sharing, giving support to artists who needed assistance, and especially encouraging children.
A few days passed. I awoke on my birthday with the crystal clear idea of how to begin. Eureka! Right in my own backyard is the renowned Santa Fe International Folk Art Market. Serendipitously, in my email inbox for the first time, was a Call for Volunteers. I promptly read every link about the IFM and replied. I was accepted and needless to say, the volunteer experience as an airport greeter and artist assistant were enriching beyond my wild imaginings. I met many men and women away from their villages for the first time, bringing extraordinary handmade objects to sell so that they could provide food and water to their children. Their expenses were covered and they returned home with 90% of the proceeds. This is the venue I will continue to support and it is the way that feels in alignment with my heart. IFM website
Movie #2. My paintings are recognized for taking the viewer beyond the landscape into the sublime, touching memories and hearts. I am offered commissions and I am confident and grateful for the compensation of my art at prices appropriate to their value. I have left my stressful medical career and my artwork is comfortably supporting my life.
A month or so later, a dramatic psychic shift happened. I decided to think of the possibilities in the positive light instead of the fear and depression which plagued me. Accessing retirement funds, I resigned from that stressful job and allowed myself precious time to prepare for my upcoming show. Then, a very influential art reviewer made plans to fly in to see my upcoming show. My former employer also flew in for the show, demonstrating lovely and unprecedented support in my decision.
Later, I freely permitted my art to be used as the cover for a recently published book. It resulted in a private party making the substantial purchase of a large painting at my asking price.
So, thank you, Ken, for continuing to remind your readers that our thoughts are shaping our reality. Admittedly, old ways of thinking, such as scarcity and fear still need to be beaten back, but the mysterious power of manifesting is evident all around us.
Warmly,
Meg
What a perfect outcome!
After seeing a large number of ‘wish lists,’ they often consist of a few, simple themes: Health, living comfortably and doing my soul’s purpose. Meg is healthy, thank goodness and following those wonderful themes, she envisioned a future where she feels fulfilled serving others and is also a successful, full-time artist. She went further by leaving her stressful job, taking money from savings and diving immediately into her painting career. That seems like bravery to many of us, but Meg was actually magnifying her intentions. I call it Planting a Flag. She was manifesting a future where all of these good things have already happened, a good start. Then she put some skin in the game, so to speak. Meg saw that she was positioned to begin her full-time career immediately and already had an important exhibit lined up. At this point, fear holds a lot of people back, but Meg made a move. You could say that her future scenario had already arrived, she only had to step up and embrace it.
She found immediate success, just as she had planned and worked to manifest it. Meg left the old ways of thinking behind and stepped into her future. View Meg Leonard’s artworks here
