If the mind is telling you to find a shortcut to something, listen closer. Notice what is really going on. The mind is nurturing beliefs that keep you apart from what already exists. This invents a gap between who you are and what you think you need.
When you focus on something you think you do not yet have, you are repeatedly reminding yourself about the absence of it. The thought of not having feeds on the vibration of it. Whereas if you trust all is well and focus on uplifting thoughts and experiences, you make the most of where you are and let go of impatience.
Give these general phrases a go:
1) Everything is moving along just right
2) Everything is flowing smoothly
3) All things are in perfect order
4) Every event is unfolding right on schedule
5) I am always in the right place, right time
6) Joy is accessible at every stage of the journey
Such phrases demonstrate you can focus your attention in directions that help you see where its already done and manifest. Know who you are, love and accept that. All is made clear. Feel the vibration of something without requiring your familliar senses to provide confirmation. To know and feel something intimately invites it to manifest your life.
Notice what its like to feel secure, to feel excited, to feel confident and appreciative of all blessings. Turn your undivided attention to the vibrational world. This is where everything is before it emerges in the physical. Know when you are in sync, patience is unnecessary.
