The Principles of Successful Manifesting

The Importance of Knowing What You Want From Life

Most people never think about what they want in their lives. They live without this knowledge
or forethought and become victims of their own circumstance. Work is just about a job – to
get by financially. Life becomes a series of issues like choosing to live somewhere because the
rent is cheap, never understanding how to be in relationships or becoming ineffectual
parents. The list goes on and on. Within yourself there is a craving for more. Is it substance,
contact or a deeper understanding of life? No one has ever introduced such people to the
concept of endless possibility. “As a man thinketh, so is he.”

A major key to manifesting the life you want is to ponder what you want out of life. What is it
that you want to do with your life?
A good exercise is to take a piece of paper and write down the answers to the following questions:

 What is my deepest desire?

 What would I like to accomplish in my life?

 What would I like to accomplish this year?

 Where would I like to be in 5 years?

 Where would I like to be in 20 years?

 What am I good at?

Look into all areas of your life:

 Your profession

 Your relationships

 Your health

 Your financial situation

 How you have fun (how you spend your holidays)

Do you Spend Enough Time with your Goals – Are they Important?

After you have written down a list of what you would like to accomplish in your life, you will
want to set priorities for them. Just take the list that you wrote down and give each topic 1-5
points. 1 being the least important to 5 points being the most. Now you have priorities in
your life, which will help you decide where you want your attention to be.
It is a simple equation: understand simply that you want to spend most of your time with the
number one topic on your list. Spend slightly less time with the number two entry on your list
– and so on for numbers three through five. There is no need to slice up the day in time
slots. Simply by doing this exercise you are programming your consciousness to spend time
according to your list.

Let's assume you would like to find your life partner in the next two years, and that this is
your primary goal, at the very top of your list. When you check your thought process at the
end of the day and you find that you have not spent most of your free time addressing this
goal, you have a misalignment, and you may never reach your goal. When this happens
simply recognize it and adjust accordingly.


Working all day only to sit on your couch and watch TV will not get you where you want to
be. You must take action to manifest your goal(s), for example:

 Take action by signing up for a dance class

 Book a weekend seminar on a subject that intrigues you

 Attend a workshop that focuses on your interest

 Spend time at places where you can meet people

If your goal happens to be that you want to be a millionaire within five years, and you are
spending only five minutes of your time each day to accomplish this goal, then don't be
surprised if your financial situation never changes.

There is another important aspect of manifestation here that requires consistency. Let's
assume you have made your priority list and everything on your list feels good so far. It is
very important that you are in emotional agreement with your goals – they must feel right to
you. If you simply create goals in your mind that are not of value to you then you will find
yourself having a hard time working to achieve them.

What happens with most people's scenario is that they have a goal that feels right for them,
then they start working on their goal. In other words, they put their attention into making
their goal a reality. A few weeks pass by and nothing happens. Now discouragement sets in
and the goal somehow seems unreachable, the motivation is down to zero.

This is the point where you must feel your discouragement.
Don't just put it away or ignore it – face it as completely and consciously as you can. This might be unpleasant for you but it will help you get closer to your goal. How is this? When you want to change your reality you obviously need to do something differently than what you have done before. So this is where the reality check comes in. You look around and cannot see any change. But changes may have already occurred in your thinking and behavior. You may have set things in motion that you cannot yet see.

Discouragement sets in when you assume that things should be happening sooner than you
are ready for them. Remember – there are no unrealistic goals, only unrealistic time frames.
So feel your discouragement and let it dissolve. Look at what you have done and realign your
strategies. If one way does not lead to success don't give up at that point – simply try
another. If you stick to a goal you will reach it.

Sometimes you may push too hard when you just need to let go and take the pressure off.
You doubt yourself at this point, believing there is nothing you can accomplish. Go to the
place in your mind where you know you can't fail. Reading a book or watching a motivational
movie may help to get you realigned with your powerful source.


In Summary
Clearly identifying what you want out of life supports your ability to manifest from your true
self. The process takes both a commitment in time and a sense of respect for your goals.
Creating a priority list helps identify your goals and find ways to take action, two very
important aspects of manifesting what you want.
