When you're trying to make something happen, oftentimes the energy of trying to make something happen is, I don't have it, so I'm going to make it happen. And that's a stage of development. It's not a bad stage. It's just a stage. But again, you run the risk of one, becoming addicted to manifesting. And two, you run the risk of even when you get it, you're still not happy.

You still think something's missing. But when it starts to be activated through allowance, it's a part of your being. This is who I am. I'm not trying to get abundance. I am abundance. I'm not trying to get joy. I am joy. You see, it's a whole different identification that begins to be activated.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah, that's the key thing, shifting your perspective. and perception, I often say that the challenges are actually our gifts and work clothes. So they're actually coming to actually activate potential that's latent, that cannot be activated without a challenge.

Because sometimes people become lazy, you know, they're like, not lethargic necessarily, but they're not really activating potential because everything seems to be going okay. But when there's a challenge, what do we have to do? We have to go in. We have to activate potential.

And we end up discovering things about ourselves or activating things about ourselves that before may have just been a belief, but now it becomes active. You know, there's a seed in the forest, some kind of pine tree that when these seeds fall into the soil, they never germinate, except when there's a forest fire. They just stay there for 50, 60, 70, 80 years.

But a forest fire is the only thing that's hot enough to make the seed open, and then it becomes the new trees for the next iteration of that forest. And I think there's qualities within us that are there. But the challenge becomes like a fire that breaks it open. And suddenly we discover things about ourselves and powers and energies that we didn't even know we had until that challenge came.

So I think challenges are built in for the soul's edification. And so we're not here. Teaching to live a challenge-free life. We're here to learn how to navigate and to transcend and transmute challenges so that we become the next great vision and version of ourselves. We're here to constantly grow. And the universe is so progressive that if we get too comfortable, the...
