This may sound like a cliche, but it is so, so true. The joy really is in the journey, and it has to be that way, because we are constantly on the journey. No sooner do you manifest something you want, than you want something else, and off you go again, on another journey. 

Life is a continuous journey - every idea, thought, impulse and experience is a manifestation and is part of that journey. You have to learn to appreciate all of the manifestations because they are ALL relevant. Even the contrast is relevant, when on your path you come across resistance, often the quickest way past the resistance is to go through it. Tru is fully aware of where you are in relationship to where you want to be, and will know whether you are ready to deal with the particular resistance that you are about to face, and if you are, then through it you will go. And a big chunk of contrast is often the precursor to your manifestation.....but only if you recognize it for what it is, keep staring at the contrast and it is impossible for you to move on. Just accept when you're in contrast that it is of huge benefit to you, and if you can gradually refocus into your vortex, you will find that you are now much closer to that which you are looking for.
