Strange question? Well, hear me out….
I see sooooo many people working day in, day out, keeping ‘positive’, staying as happy and enthusiastic as much of the time as humanly possible!…and still not reaching their so desired goals and dreams. I understand this can sometimes lead to feeling disheartened and confused, so i feel the need to write my thoughts on this, in the hope that it may provide some insight and inspiration…..
Most of us have heard the steps necessary for ‘Success’ a billion times before….Success in whatever field or area or interest that may be. For example, 1. Define your goal, be clear on what you really want 2. Take consistent action towards the achievement of that goal, 3. Keep going, never give up, never stop, 4. You will reach your goal
Or if it’s goals in more of a ‘Law of Attraction’ style, then they will go more along the lines of: 1. Define your goal, be clear on what you really want, 2. Focus on your goals with enthusiasm, 3. Create a ‘vision board’ and visualise yourself having achieved your goals, 4. You will reach your goal
…and hey, they all differ ever so slightly, and these “rules” or “guidelines”, are layed out for us to follow, in the guarantee that we will “get there” as long as we either “don’t quit” or “feel as if we have ‘it’ already” (depending on which school of goal writing you learnt from ;P)
Well, have you ever worked your backside off for days, weeks, months, even years in some cases to get to get, well, pretty much nowhere?….to a place where you are still not in ‘possession’ of this goal of yours? Been visualising and focusing on how it will feel to already have that success…but then in ‘reality’ you really don’t have it and so then you doubt your ability to “manifest” your dreams??
Sound familiar?
Well what many of these experts, ‘gurus’, masters, etc are not telling you, is that you must ALLOW this goal into your Life.
You must ALLOW Success into your Life.
In my experience, i have realised that i have had to create a space for this new ‘thing’ to enter my Life. A wee bit of “out with the old, in with the new”! I have learnt that I really do need to feel good and appreciative of all i have already achieved, to enable me to achieve more stuff to feel good and appreciative for…..
Absolutely, go ahead and visualise yourself in ‘possession’ of this goal, take action every single day and keep on going….BUT just be sure you also create space for your Success, your goal, your dream.
Create space? Yes, you can create space for it by letting go of the things that are NOT Allowing you to achieve your goal.
A lot of the time this can be a fear of letting go of the old you, the old Life you have been comfortable living (although feeling dissatisfied at the same time!…hey, no one said we humans were a simple race!) And sometimes it can be the Fear of actually having it…having a Fear of Success…
Fear. Hmmm…fear can be a brilliant goal blocker and dream squasher…..and this is an emotion we have ALL felt before right? Well, to be truly Successful throughout your Life, in any area you wish, I recommend you work on erradicating Fear from your system.
I would like to offer you a few exercises to try out…if they work, fab, keep them and use them….if they do not work for you….well, find others that DO work for You 
- Focus on what you like, rather than what you don’t like. Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. In short, focus on the ‘good’ in your Life, rather than ‘bad’
- Think about what you are Grateful for in your current Life as it is now….this will help ALLOW more things to enter your Life for you to be grateful for
- ALLOW others to be as they are. ALLOW them to do what they want, ALLOW them to live their own life….do not complain about, criticise or judge others. (You WILL get back, what You give out…remember that ;P)
- View the World as expansive and broad, as Happy and Abundant…rather than feeling there is lack, like the World is sad and ‘needs help’…..do you feel the difference there? What makes you Feel better when you think about it?…the world being Happy or the World being sad?….well, always go for that better feeling ‘feeling’ instead!
- Remember that You deserve to be Happy….You deserve to have All that you desire….”You are destined to be Successful!”

You can learn more about ‘Allowing’ in ‘Ask and it is Given’ by Jerry and Esther Hicks (Abraham-Hicks). This book goes into great detail about how you can ALLOW all the lovely things you want, into your Life. Another Law of Attraction expert is Michael Losier, who shares his very practical application of the Law Of Attraction. I recommend you check out his book ‘Law of Attraction’.
Do you have suggestions that work for you in letting go of fears or that help you ALLOW success into your Life, that you could share with the community? If so, please leave your comments below…it would be great to get a great big, healthy collection of ideas going for everyone to try

nice post. thanks.
Jess & Graeme, thank you for this great post! Allowing really is something we often overlook… The fact is without allowing, the state of inner peace (where the ‘attractor’ is at its strongest) is simply not possible.
I especially love your suggestion about allowing others to be as they are, because that is what I personally found. When I allow people to be who they are, to do things their way, more often than not they will do the ‘right’ thing to achieve the desired outcome.
Thanks again for sharing your wisdom with us all… keep shining your light!
Peace & Blessings,
Andre
