Manifest Your Life

It’s always an exhilarating experience when an idea you have comes to fruition. As entrepreneurs, we have a tendency to do that a lot, whether we realize it or not. We are constantly giving our attention to new ideas, new tactics, and new products. And we are constantly working to make them tangible and real in our businesses. We do it everyday, yet there are some things we consider “bigger” that tend to elude us. I think it’s about time we examined why.

We set goals for each day, a to-do list for various projects, or a wish list for potential outcomes and relationships with clients. These are things we do everyday. We tend to expect many of these items to work out exactly as we envision, and so they typically do. We tend to “hope” or “keep our fingers crossed” with some of the larger items on our list, like landing that new account, or reaching our sales goal. And then we typically have really big desires. Desires to which we may give a lot of attention, but still never seem to reach.

To understand why, I think it might be helpful to examine the relative ease with which we accomplish our smaller goals. Then, we should try to apply the same level of thinking and attitude to the larger items as we do to the smaller ones.

Step 1: Identify the Desire

This step is pretty easy regardless of the perceived size of the task or desire. In my business, I have plenty of things I want to accomplish every single day. They range in perceived size from making a phone call to landing a client, from completing a task on a project, to buying my new house.

The first thing we need to remember is that the Law of Attraction works the same to bring you a cup of coffee as it does to create the intricacies of our entire planet. To the Universe, they are one and the same. Just as physics proves that a tiny rock falls at the same rate of acceleration due to gravity as a giant boulder, so too the size of the object or experience we desire to manifest into our lives is irrelevant.

The size is only an issue in our minds. We may have a tendency to see smaller desires as easy, and larger desires as hard. To the Universe, they are the same, but to us, the perceived difference is huge. And so, the bigger desires become harder to achieve because we make them harder in our minds. We need to begin believing that any desire we have is easily attainable, regardless of the perceived size.

Step 2: Know That It’s a Done Deal

We ask for our desires constantly, through our thoughts. Our thoughts in our mind vibrate at specific frequencies. And by the Law of Attraction, like frequencies attract. For small desires, like simple tasks on my daily to do list, I have no problem believing they will be done soon as I write them on my list. As far as I’m concerned, simply making the list makes them a done deal.

But with larger desires, like launching that new product line, or tripling last year’s sales numbers, we tend to not believe they’re a done deal simply because we listed them.

And that right there is the problem. We don’t believe it. With larger desires, we tend to think of all the things that have to happen before we can make that happen. We dwell on the possible ways we will fail, or what others will think of us. These thoughts all work to change our thought frequencies to something other than a match to our desires. And so, they don’t come to us.

If I list “Call Patti” on my morning to do list, I don’t dwell on failing at that task. I don’t worry that my fingers will slip and I will never be able to connect. I don’t worry that I’ll give up or that others will laugh at me for dropping my phone. No. I add it to the list, then call her, confident that I will successfully complete this seemingly easy task. I’ve done it hundreds of times before, and it’s perfectly acceptable.

But when I make a decision to buy my house this year, the successful completion of this desire is not so easily mapped out. To my perception, this is a huge task, needing hundreds of little things to go my way one after another without fail. I see every single way I will fail at this. I worry what people will think for making such bold declarations. And on and on the thinking goes.

With the phone call, my thoughts are all about a successful call, and I attract a successful call. With the large desire, I have the ability to do the same thing. If I am able to maintain steady thinking toward the successful purchase of this house, I will undoubtedly do it (I’ve done it twice before!). But if I dwell on every possible way this can go wrong, I will hold it off.

So as far as I’m concerned, this is a done deal.

Step 3: Allow It to Happen

Which leads to the last step, allowing it to happen. Entrepreneurs have a tendency to want to make things happen. We pride ourselves as being hustlers and go-getters. Too bad that doesn’t work.

If we rely on action to achieve our goals without the required positive thought vibrations, we are taking a really hard road. Taking action when our thoughts are geared toward failure and worry will do little to bring our desires closer to manifestation.

But if instead we work to deliberately align our thoughts with the belief that this desire is a done deal, then the necessary action steps become clear to us. Doors open, opportunities present themselves, and people come forward to help us. This is called allowing, and it’s much easier to allow something to come to you than it is to force it to.

So how does one allow a new client to come in? How does one allow a new house to manifest? Does this mean we site on the beach all day and wait until someone drops a deed in our lap? Absolutely not.

But it might mean taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday monotony, and getting to the beach or some other place where we can get calm, and focus on all the positive things already happening in life.

Here’s the deal, simply put. When you try to force something to happen, you are pushing against the natural order of the Universe. You are trying to set the “how” by your own terms, and more often than not, that leads to a lot of exhaustion and failure.

If, however, you focus your mind on the completed task, or the achievement of the goal - and focus only on that - then the Universe will bring it to you in its way. You’ll start getting more referrals, you’ll have existing clients that need more work, you’ll see the opportunities open up for you. THAT’s when you get off the beach, and get to work. Because now the path will be clear, and much easier.
