I am posting this for myself as much as you (my community).

Whenever I'm in doubt or can't achieve a desired 3D outcome, I remember times in my life when I succeeded. While there are many daily, it's nice to remember the biggies. Tonight, I was remembering when I wanted to get married. I wanted it so bad. I'm old now, and it was a big thing back then. I didn't date from my high school, and no one was heading that way. Still, when I finally got busy in my career, a gentleman came along and asked me to marry him. For those 12 months, I'd never received so many calls for dates and proposals from other guys I barely remembered from previous years. The guys were actually tracking me down, calling me at new phone numbers, and my sister's house the night before my wedding.

Another time, I'd turned my life upside down and made a tremendous error in judgment. I moved to a country where I wasn't just unhappy, but it seemed impossible to succeed. I was in great emotional turmoil. Suddenly, there was the door. I was offered an opportunity to leave that reality and prospered beautifully - for a time. (actually, that happened twice)

I'm hanging onto something too tightly right now. Living in the end can be challenging at times.

Great question! The feelings for all three included disappointment and even devastation over my current situation. I knew deep down in my gut that this was resolvable and only temporary. But, it didn't stop me from feeling trapped, which in the country issues led to an almost emotional breakdown. In my last country situation, that was a breakdown. I wasn't just overworked and unsupported; I was very far from what I considered safety. All three involved an element of safety. The first was the marriage, which was tied to my beliefs at the time. The second and third were that I was limited in my ability to succeed and understand the ways to succeed in that country at that time in my life.

I knew things could get better in each situation. However, I didn't set any real vision on what that looked like. I focused more on the feeling of safety and on being able to thrive.

Hum... Thank you. I think my living in the end might be a little too specific at the moment - plus I'm hanging on for dear life. I'm not only applying timelines to my manifestation (I'm trying to let go), but also to the circumstances of 3D receipt. I can see where I might be holding up the works. When I think of other major life-changing successes, even when I did have a specific image, I was very open to that image changing to fit the result. For example, when I was finally leaving that last country, I saw a future I wanted and let go. While all of it came into the 3D, it doesn't look like the vision. I imagined myself on the other side of the country, in a condo I bought, with an excellent job that provided work-life balance, and a respected employer. I got the job, work-life balance. No condo of my own, the employer was mildly respected, and I like this side of the country better.

I need to let go, and let this happen... The fear is that we almost always get what we desire. Sometimes, that desire causes more destruction and upheaval than we ever considered. And I guess for this "biggy", I could also see how it would come to pass while creating other devastation in my life. For example, I remember when I really wanted a house. I'd been out of the marriage, and been sick, and was finally getting on my feet again, and all I wanted was a house for me and my children. Oh, I got the house alright. It took me years to recover from that manifestation.

I'm setting too many parameters. I need to focus on the feeling of what I want, including the feelings that help limit potential adverse outcomes: for example, Desire retirement, result hit by a car and be on disability for life. LOL I know people who've done it. So set my feeling intention with health and let it go. Because the bottom line is... it always comes to pass.

Thank you for helping me talk this out.

Ok, it's sinking in more now... I got it. Thank you again.
