Are You Failing to Manifest?

Make life work for you, it's not meant to be against you.

You read about the Law of Attraction and all these methods to make you manifest your desires. There are heaps of success stories about how people visualise their way into success or recite affirmations to live better.

You research about them intensely, watch videos, and read real stories to get motivated.

You deep dive into the psychology that states how affirmations and visualisation are techniques proven for greatness. When you truly believe in something, there’s a higher chance it’ll turn into reality.

And you finally think, now is the chance to turn around your life. You too will be a success story like many others and manifest your desires.

Of course, you’re being practical and you don’t dream of a million dollars, but maybe $10,000. Because won’t an extra 10k change your life?

Then, why aren’t you manifesting it?

“All that we are is a result of what we have thought.” — Buddha

You do your techniques for 3, 6, or 9 months and wait for them to work. Before you sleep and upon waking up, you dream of all that you desire. It feels great and whimsical, you’re trying to manifest it all.

And that's where the fault lies, you’re trying.

Trying attracts a lack, something you want to have that you don’t yet have. Believing is being absolutely sure that you’ll get what you desire no matter what, like there’s no other way around it.

But humans are rational beings. How do you believe you’ll get those big dreams when you’re living your real life, which isn’t so grand? How do you pretend that you wholeheartedly know your desires will turn to reality when your true reality is different?

And that keeps you in the cycle of trying to manifest and not manifesting because it doesn’t feel real. Most times, it feels too good to be true. Too good to deserve.

You have the ability to quickly change your patterns of thought, and eventually your life experience. — Abraham Hicks

You need to align with your desires to be on the frequency of receiving from the universe.

The universe doesn’t gain from life to work against you because it naturally wants life to work for you. You’re always subconsciously creating your life with your thoughts. But if your desires feel far away, it’s important to at least be in alignment with them so you can believe in them.

As Bob Proctor says,

See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It always works, it works every time, with every person.

For instance, I wanted to be a writer. It sounded too good to be true. My family was also sceptical about this decision after having paid a lot for my Master’s degree broad and the fear of letting go of my safe and secure corporate job.

Just like you, I did (and still do) affirmation and visualisation techniques. But it felt too good to be true until I aligned myself to my desires.

For starters, until I started behaving like a professional writer to become one. I had to act like one, write like one, and feel that I am a writer. With this responsibility, it became easier to believe in all that I was dreaming about.

“Whenever you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right. — Henry Ford

Once you align your actions to your desire, it’s easier to trust the universe to manifest your desires.

When you manifest, there’s no space for any doubt in the world. And the only way to feel free in the process is when you wholeheartedly believe in it. It’s easier to believe in it when you’re doing what it takes.

Fortunately, we don’t live in a world where those who do nothing are rewarded as compared to those who work hard. It’s a crazy world, but just not that crazy, yet.

The Law of Attraction was never made for the lazy to attract what they desire by sitting on a couch. The doing bit goes overlooked, and then we have a bunch of people who call this concept a marketing gimmick because it didn’t work for them.

Apart from doing, it’s important to feel good while you’re at it. As Shannon L. Alder says,

“When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you.”

When I visualised myself as a writer, I saw myself happy and smiling, and the thought of it brought me so much joy. When I worked extra before and after my 9–5 on my writing, instead of feeling like additional work, it felt so enjoyable.

Time passed fast and finishing each article left me in contentment. Overall, I felt amazing and excited!

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it. — Jack Canfield

To be on the frequency to receive, take action and feel joyful about it. Be an optimist, because you know what’s yours is on its way to come to you.

And with action, these feelings will come more naturally.

Think of it logically. If you desire to become a singer but have never sung in your life, how can the universe make it happen?

The universe will push you and push goodness your way, but before that, you need to push yourself.

Once you’re in alignment with the universe, you’ll be in a powerful state to manifest.
