The 2 Most Powerful Truths When Manifesting Your Desires

David & Steve Gordon

Do you ever wonder if the possibility of manifesting your desires is a real phenomenon?

Indeed, by now you’ve no doubt heard about this thing called the law of attraction; that you hold all the power when it comes to manifesting your desires.

But despite these claims about the power of manifestation, it’s still natural to have doubts.

After all, such an ability does kind of sound a bit too good to be true, doesn’t it? More like the stuff of dreams than something tangible you can learn to realize your dreams.

Is the Law of Attraction Fantasy or Is It Real?

The truth is, once you realize that manifesting your desires is not just fantasy, you’re well on your way to attracting your ideal life. It really is half the battle.

Manifesting your desires - woman by lake You do indeed hold the power within you to attain your dreams; to realize your deepest desirs.

But understand this: Manifesting your desires is not about wishing and hoping. It’s about knowing what you want and then exploring ways to get it.

Magic spells are not the answer. You aren’t required to tap into some mystical higher power.

You merely have to know yourself and what makes you happy and to be able to visualize your ideal life.

Discovering The 2 Most Powerful Truths Toward Manifesting Your Desires

It’s not that complicated — there are just two fundamental, yet powerful, truths you must understand to realize your deepest desires.

In a nutshell, those truths are:

1. You must possess a deep level of self-understanding and awareness.

2. It’s necessary that you place yourself squarely on the path toward your desires.

To further illustrate these points, consider this passage from Melissa Kirk, writing for Psychology Today on the topic:

So what if that magical something that we call manifesting, what was written of in books like The Secret, is really just a by-product of putting ourselves in the path of what we want? it’s not magical at all. It’s what happens after we fall down and get up again, time and time again, and learn and re-learn our lessons, and adjust our choices to point ourselves more towards the lives we want. It’s what happens when we know ourselves so well that, sometimes even subconsciously, we pay attention to the small signs telling us when we’re off of our path and shift our trajectory slightly. (Melissa Kirk, Psychology Today, 2012, The Truth About Manifesting Your Dreams.)

Harnessing The Secrets To Living The Life of Your Dreams

So just how do self-understanding and awareness lead toward the ability to manifest your dreams?

The answer is quite simple.

If you don’t know what it is you want in life, what makes you feel fulfilled, how can you possibly hope to move toward attaining your desires?

Know Thyself

What are your deepest desires? What is the secret of attraction when it comes to your life’s goals?

Do you long for a happy, loving relationship? Does a house on the beach sound idyllic to you? Would you love to drive a fancy car? manifesting your desires - loving couple

Or perhaps having the means to travel the world is among your biggest dreams.

Whether it’s manifesting a relationship, or the desire to attract wealth, that knowledge is the first step toward making it happen.

Have a Plan

Once you know where you want to go, you need a plan of action.

You wouldn’t plan a cross-country road trip without first mapping out and planning your route.

Setting yourself on the right path toward your life’s desires is no different than a road trip.

You can’t reach your destination if you don’t know what that destination is.

Be Flexible

And always remember: flexibility is critical.

Even the best plans must be fluid, flexible.

Be willing and able to course correct or even change direction entirely, should your desires change along the way.

The Magic of Manifesting Anything You Want

So just in case you still want to believe in fairy dust and magic, take comfort in knowing that in many ways tapping into the ability to manifest your desires is indeed a bit like magic.

But it’s a lot more fun to see it as something magical.Yes, it’s true that manifesting desires into reality is, in fact, logically and scientifically based.

And if you think about it, you’re manifesting your desires all the time, day in and day out, in big and small ways.

There’s really only one secret to manifesting; it is absolutely knowing that you have the power to choose your own thoughts and thereby create. All you’re ever doing is creating. You have a thought, it’s followed by a feeling, you act on it and therefore create — even if it’s just to make a cup of tea. (Nicole Leigh West, HuffPost Blog, 2015, Real Life Secrets of Manifesting Desires.)

Here are a few of the ways you tap into the power of manifesting your desires throughout the day, without even being aware you’re doing it.

1. Daily Power of Manifestation

First, you think about what you want. On a smaller scale, let’s just say you have a craving for Mexican food for lunch.

Now that the taste of tacos is calling your name, you take steps toward attaining them.

You head to a local Mexican restaurant, or you assemble the ingredients at home and make tacos yourself.

Either way, you’ve experienced the power of manifesting your desires.

You didn’t just wish for tacos for lunch. Your focused energy on tacos made it happen. Kind of like magic, right?

When you focus your energy, attention, awareness, and emotion on something often enough, it becomes your reality. What you think about you bring about. You want more money? Start thinking, feeling, and speaking with the energy of already having more money. By doing so, you call the object of desire toward you—whether you’re aware of it or not. And because it happens whether we are aware of it or not, we often unintentionally call into our reality experiences that we would actually rather not have. Like not having enough money. (Katie Campbell, MindBodyGreen, 5 Steps to Manifesting Anything.)

2. Visualization and Manifestation

Visualization of your desires is essential when it comes to manifesting your desires.

As we’ve already discussed, if you don’t know, or can’t visualize, what you desire, you can’t aim for it.

You focus your energies on your desires.

For example, have you ever decided you need a new car?

Maybe you think, I’d like to get a Subaru Outback. Suddenly, you see Subaru Outbacks everywhere you look. manifesting your desires - Subaru outback

Did they just suddenly appear out of thin air?

No. You’re just suddenly aware of their existence. They’ve been there, all around you, all along.

You just didn’t notice them before because you weren’t focusing on them.

That’s the power of visualization.

3. Eliminating Clutter

The example we’ve just described with the car illustrates how we don’t focus on things that hold no interest for us at the moment.

And that ability to filter out the clutter is essential. Just imagine if we thought about every single thing all of the time. How exhausting would that be?

Focusing on what’s important is all that’s necessary. Everything else moves to the periphery.

4. The Positivity Factor

So while we’re discussing the need to know ourselves and our desires and creating a path toward manifesting them, we cannot discount the importance of a positive outlook.

manifesting your desires - positive attitude

If you’ve studied the universal law of attraction, you’ve no doubt learned that we attract that on which we concentrate.

And it doesn’t matter if we’re focused on something good or bad.

We attract what we think most about precisely because we’re so focused on it. Like a magnetic force, we place ourselves on the path, and we head in that direction.

Each thought we have creates an energy flow within and around our physical being. This energy attracts its likeness. So if you’re thinking, “I suck,” then your energy kinda, well, sucks—and you attract sucky experiences. The opposite experience occurs when you think high-level thoughts like, “I rock!” When you think and feel, “I rock,” you exude an energy of confidence and in turn attract great experiences into your life. Each thought you have informs your energy, and your energy manifests into your experiences. (Gabrielle Bernstein, Positively Positive, 2012, How to Manifest Your Desires.)

5. It’s Kind of Like Driving a Car

To use another car analogy, you don’t focus your attention on the shoulder of the road unless you want to head in that direction.

When you drive, you look straight ahead, with glances to the side and in the rearview mirror.

You’re constantly monitoring your situation. But you keep your eyes front and center.

You focus your attention on where you’re going. You course correct, where necessary. But you don’t take your eyes off the ball.

Or in this case, your destination.

Manifesting your desires works in much the same way. You focus on what you want, on where you want to be.

And then you head in that direction.

6. Vibration and the Universe

One of the basic tenets of the law of attraction is that our thoughts send vibrations into the universe.

Those vibrations work toward drawing that which you desire, on which you focus your energy, to you.

And while some people discount this theory of attraction, who’s to say it isn’t so?

So why not tap into this power to manifest your desires? Provided, of course, you’re willing to take positive steps toward attaining your dreams.

You never want to just put a thought out into the universe and then sit on your laurels waiting for the magic to work.

Instead, take active steps toward manifesting your desires.

Those steps, coupled with potential universal vibrations, will likely make your dreams a reality.

Harness the Amazing Potential of the Universal Law Of Attraction

So when it comes to learning the principles of manifesting your desires, despite all the fancy words and seeming mystery surrounding it, it’s actually fairly simple. And straightforward.

Your mind is a powerful tool, with abilities beyond your imagination. Learning how to focus your energies on your desires is within your grasp.

First, you simply identify your life’s desires. You practice self-awareness and focus your energies on what makes you happy.
