2017 Theme: Manifestation

This is very overdue but happy 2017! I am hoping that 2017 is a year of growth, fulfillment and manifestation. This brings me to my resolution, wait....no theme of 2017. To manifest. I first sought to understand the true definition of this word which I thought I understood, but was surprised to find I had misinterpreted.The word manifest is defined as clear or obvious to the naked eye. Synonyms for manifest include; clear, apparent, obvious, palpable, distinct, perceptible, undeniable and recognizable, to name a few. So I was thinking how do I apply this to my life in a more figurative sense?  So, one can manifest in different aspects of their lives whether it be in their personal, professional or spiritual lives.

I looked at these three categories and came up with what I would like to manifest in these three areas of my life, Firstly I would like every aspect of my life to be distinct, obvious or apparent. Gone are the days where I simply muddle through without a clear idea of what it is I would like to achieve. As I continue to evolve as an individual and attain a better sense of  my goals and how to achieve them, I want my growth to manifest. I want it to be apparent that I have grown, if not for anyone then for myself. In terms of my personal life my goal is to be content in who I am, to be happy with my achievements and not undermine myself constantly. I want to grow as an individual by taking necessary pauses to reflect on my mistakes and instead of chastising myself for them, instead think: How can I do better? I feel as though once I am secure and content within myself and this is evident, I will be able to attract a like minded individual as a spouse or life partner. To be able to manifest your confidence and certainty in yourself as an individual is important in various other aspects of life.

In a professional sense I aspire to be good at what I do, be passionate about what I do and simply be happy with what it is I am doing.Without passion there can be no purpose, as without intent we can not manifest. I aspire to work hard, which in of itself sounds so cliche, but I would like to grow as a young professional and simply work to my full potential. At the end of the day its more about your drive and interest in your job rather than how much your earning. With this being said I would like to manifest an intellectual mind and a determined persona, an inquisitive thirst for knowledge and cultivate an urge to strive towards an  indelible career.

Last but not least is spiritual manifestation. This is one aspect I feel needs the most reconstruction, if I can put it that way. My relationship with God and what purpose that serves in my life. I believe He keeps me centered. I have faith in his timing and the plans He has for my life. I intend to be clear in my relationship with Him, to praise Him in times of crisis and in times of joy. I aim to be spiritually centered. I feel as though once you have found that calm in your spiritual life, other aspects of your life stay in tune. Your spiritual life is the center around which everything else evolves.

And so let 2017 be the year of rapid growth, May every goal and aspiration come to manifest, may we find what it is we have been searching for in our personal, professional and spiritual lives. And most importantly may we be happy with the our intent and subsequent consequences of our choices.

Here's to 2017!
