However, it can take years, decades, to manifest a dream, in part because it may take years for your mind\/thoughts to shift so you can receive the good things you&#8217;ve been asking for. Believe it or not, it took me years to get this.<\/p>\n<p>Just saying you want something is not enough, especially if there are thoughts &#8220;hiding&#8221; in your subconscious or super-subconscious that speak the exact opposite of what you want 24\/7. Can you imagine the inner conflict you&#8217;d be putting yourself through each time you uttered what you really want, your conscious mind asking for one thing\/your subconscious demanding the opposite?<\/p>\n<p>No outside force pulling you back, all of the conflict and resistance self-imposed, just hidden from your conscious mind. No one to blame, but action to start taking. As it is with parents, friends and other people who care for us, who want to see us do well, our minds try to <i>protect<\/i> us. It&#8217;s in this <i>protection<\/i> that we constantly avow that there&#8217;s something to fear, something that could hurt us. Each time we feel fear, our subconscious <i>protective <\/i>thoughts start playing, trying to keep us <i>safe<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>In effort to keep us safe, these subconscious thoughts also keep us from the good things we want. Like a catch-22, we find ourselves stuck, unable to move forward. One of two things may\u00a0 happen. We&#8217;ll get tired of trying to break through our own subconscious barriers and quit, perhaps going on to live a life of despondency (not recommended) or we&#8217;ll keep pushing (resting as needed) until our subconscious thoughts start to shift.<\/p>\n<p>Yes! We can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chistell.com\/africanamericanfiction\/2013\/04\/27\/all-writers-should-be-wealthy\/\" target=\"_blank\">receive miracles<\/a>. Yes! Our love based dreams can come true, should come true. But, it might take longer than we expect. We might have to take risks to prove to our subconscious that we no longer need it to replay <i>protective <\/i>tapes in effort to keep us safe, to hold us back. We might have to try new things to prove to our subconscious mind that change is not a thing to fear, to prove that achieving our dreams will bring good, not something to dread or fear.
