Another Piece Of The Puzzle

Often, people learn about Law Of Attraction and how to change their lives through their thoughts and words, start practicing their positive thoughts, visualization, meditation, and daily affirmations, only to NOT see all the results as quickly as they had wished to (this world IS, after all, based upon instant gratification). They get discouraged and just stop because they don't see instant incredible manifestations.
Sound like you? I know it has been me on many occasions.
If it does sound like you, then consider this....
When you begin to put together a puzzle it never looks like the picture on the box at first!
You open it up, dump it on your table and in front of you, you see all these random multi-colored fragments with no seeming rhyme or reason...except for the fact you trust that because the picture is on the front of the box, these random pieces will produce the desired result.
You begin piecing together the colors and images that seem to fit together, sometimes they don't fit exactly as you thought they would, so you take them apart and try fitting them somewhere else.
The entire time you put together the puzzle, the box with the picture on it is sitting right in front of you so it's easy to keep referencing it whenever you are needing a little guidance (or questioning whether or not they put the wrong pieces in the puzzle box!).
Often, you will get frustrated and put it away for a day or two until you are feeling froggy enough to have another go at it! The whole point of putting together the puzzle is to have fun, so when it becomes tedious or is no longer fun, put it away and come back to it! Put your focus on something that IS fun!

The clues about how the puzzle is fit together comes from the way the pieces match up, making up different little scenes of the big picture, then fitting the smaller scenes together into bigger scenes, then fitting them together until, VOILA!
The once jumbled, confusing lump of cardboard fragments that sat before you is now a beautiful picture that looks like the one on the box! (except for that one piece that is mysteriously missing...was it NOT provided or did you lose it?)
What an amazing feeling that is! 
If you had gotten discouraged in the beginning looking at the jumbled pieces that were laid out before you, this great feeling of accomplishment would never have been yours!
Creating the life that you dream of is manifested in quite the same way...
When you decide to make changes in your life, you step back and assess it as a whole and often find there is no rhyme or reason to what you see.
What is necessary at this point is your TRUST in the inevitability of your desired outcome, regardless of the reality you see before you in the present moment; LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.
Trust that you have all of the pieces necessary and will be given guidance and along the way.
Pay attention to the intuitions that you have and the subtle hints that life is showing you, then put the pieces together a little at a time, all the while envisioning the end result.
If you get frustrated while you are focusing too much on piecing together your life's puzzle, find something to do that is fun and distracting, and come back to it later! This is all supposed to be about fun, NOT something that requires a great deal of work!
The happier and more at ease you are, the more clues you will be given along the way, and the easier your picture will come together!
Every day that passes, another bit of the puzzle is coming together, bringing the big picture closer to the end result, until one day you look at your life and realize it looks very much like the picture you envisioned at the beginning of your journey!
What a great feeling to know that you have the ability to set your mind to something and accomplish it!
But your journey doesn't end here....
If you're anything like me, at this point you are ready for the next puzzle...
