Unlock Your Success: Manifesting vs Demonstrating
 Hello Daniel,I’m writing this because I’ve seen countless clients report that they know how to manifest extraordinary results but wish they knew how to do it predictably. It sounds something like the following. I’ve taken some typical dilemmas and molded them into what follows. Let’s start with Darleen. Darleen: Three days ago, I had a lunch appointment with a friend to discuss a potential job. Running late, I said, “The Universe will provide parking” over and over. To my surprise, a spot was available right in front of the restaurant. I felt supported and was sure the Universe was listening to me. But this morning, a similar situation occurred. Running late to a community project meeting, I did the same thing. I expected a parking spot, but finding one took ten minutes. I’m unsure why this happened. But that’s not the worst of it. I’ve been in a prosperity study group. One book we’ve just read says that if we have the right frame of mind, we’ll manifest just what we need the moment we need it. The Universe only wants us to be happy and prosperous. For anything to occur, we must believe it will and practice an affirmation like “I am rich and financially abundant” the moment we wake up. It’s suggested that we print that on at least ten pieces of paper so that our mind sees and believes it and can manifest it. I’ve been doing this for three months, and nothing has changed. What am I doing wrong? Does this sound at all familiar to you? The truth is, Darleen is doing nothing “wrong.” She was taught that affirmation and belief led to manifestation, and she followed her instructions. The problem was that this strategy didn’t work. What didn’t work about the above approach was that she wasn’t taking specific action to make things happen. Metaphysicians know that thought without action leads nowhere. More about Manifesting The word “manifest” was initially used to describe something that you could see in a person’s demeanor: “His emotions were manifest in the way he spoke about missing Sally.” During the late 1800s, metaphysicians, influenced by Hinduism, learned about the “Law of Attraction.” They saw manifestation as bringing something tangible into life through attraction, belief, and action . They called it New Thought. Since then, some people interested in New Thought have taken away the action part and adopted the view that manifesting is making whatever you want to have or experience into a physical reality via your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. They included meditation, reciting affirmations, and keeping a gratitude journal. This approach can help you focus on what you want, but it isn’t directly related to taking visible action that brings you closer to your goals. Wallace Wattles, in this groundbreaking book, “The Science of Getting Rich,” put it this way: “Thought is the creative power or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act; Thinking in a Certain Way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck–the failure to connect thought with personal action.” READ FULL ARTICLE  Founder Academy for Coaching Excellencemarianemeth.comenergyofmoney.com |
