Each one of us is pacing how fast our intentions and dreams come into being by the way we influence the conditions of our life. You will create more for yourself in less time when you are in a more loving, accepting and faith-filled place about who you are. This is a key starting point on the road to mastering life. Self-awareness is the doorway. Through self-awareness you discover the limits and the actual line where faith ends and fear takes over. This is the current limit or boundary that reveals who you are. Increasing the idea of who you are (I AM) opens up a new awareness that collapses time, allowing you step into the new thoughts, feelings and actions that create a new reality.

Realizing yourself to be worthy of all you desire to create takes a strong will and a forgiving and compassionate heart. You must be ready to experience more of your perfection. You must be ready to see that life is waiting for you to embrace more of the infinite possibilities available to you. You must be ready for more light and love.

As the inner love increases, the outer synchronicities, conditions, and happenings of your life begin to positively change your circumstance and new expanded limits and creative notions are entertained, manifested, and enjoyed. The secret of time is found in the deepest part of understanding who you really are. It is a journey of understanding that time is bound by your faith (or lack thereof) as it relates to acting toward what you desire. Along this journey there are ways to make sure you are in the best state of mind to create what you desire. Here are five attributes and states of mind to embrace and help you manifest what you want.

1. Acceptance – You must come to a place of acceptance for what “is” right now in order to be in the best mindset to change it.
2. Gratitude - Perspective is very powerful. A belief in limited opportunity is always false in a universe of infinite abundance. However, being in a state of gratitude for all you do have is energetically powerful. Gratitude begets more things for which to be grateful.
3. Belief – A mind open to new possibilities is a mind that creates new things to be enjoyed. You must believe wholeheartedly in what you desire to be real.
4. Faith – You must have the faith to take consistent action and know that life is working with you and your intentions in every moment of your existence. If it’s not happening yet there is a specific reason for it. Either the timing isn’t right or the conditions haven't yet been met.
5. Love – You must love yourself and accept who you are to a level where you see no limit on the abundance you can experience. The optimal state is one where you feel completely worthy of achieving it all.

These attitudes and the energy they carry are integral to the process of how time unfolds for you. The secret part of the formula of creation is all about the nature of the energy you are putting out toward your world every day. As you come to learn how so much of the experience of time is in your control, you become more of a master over it. As you learn to master time you learn to master life.
