Helping me see everything I have instead of everything I've lost

Quick summary

After losing a parent, leaving her job, and suffering a work injury, she found solace in Mindvalley's manifesting programs. Through daily practice and gratitude, she discovered inner strength and reconnected with Source, transforming loss into faith and readiness to receive.

Honestly, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time in my life. This last year I went through several setbacks due to the death of a parent. I had to quit my job and help my mother get moved into a safe and supportive living environment. Then I was hired into a lower paying position and was hurt on the job and have been out of work, dealing with the back in injury for 6 months now. I turned to Mindvalley programs to help get me through. I came across Christie Sheldon's program on manifesting. She coincidentally just had a 5 day How To Get What You Want Challenge. I completed her challenge and am considering taking her Intuition 101 course. Then I also saw Vishen was doing the 7 Sacred States Challenge. I live in Hawaii and had to get up at 5:30 a.m. to catch the live. It was worth it to me, though to feel so connected to the group rather than watch the replays. It led me to believe that manifesting can be done many ways. What I like about Vishen's approach is that it's not just asking Source to provide us all of our wants and needs, but also showing gratitude for the things we already have. This was very profound for me. It started off with Knowingness, then Faith which combined with Love really is the secret trifecta to living life! It's easy to forget who we truly are going to our day to day life challenges. Creating the altar and finding moments of Stillness along with No Big Deal Detachment to the outcome has really made a positive impact in my life. Helping me to see everything I have instead of everything I've lost helps me live in gratitude, and I feel more closely connected to Source because of this teaching. I realize no matter what happens in life, I Know I will be OK because I am Unfuckwithable and Source always has my back. I've had to eat a lot of veggies that I didn't like this year, but they've made me strong and brought me to where I am now. Now in this moment and every moment I can create the life I desire. Full of Love for everything and everyone. Faith that what is meant for me-will not miss me. To be grateful for the challenges as well as the wins. One chapter closes, and another is ready to open. I am ready to Receive. Thank you!
