Most people think of manifestation as an easy process. Just think positive and visualize. The people who buy into the law of attraction want an easy manifestation. They say if you feel good, good things will happen. When you have a vibrational match, you’ll get what you want so easily. This is only half the equation.
The other more important half is action. If you aren’t taking action then you don’t truly want your goal. The universe actually responds to action. If reality is subjective like I think it is, then your core beliefs will dictate your manifestations. The beliefs you have will dictate what actions you take. Wanting something that takes work means that the LOA won’t give you an easy result.
Your soul is extremely powerful. It’s fair to say your soul is God. You will only manifest what your soul truly wants. If you just think you want something, your desire is actually weak. Weak desire and thinking you want something you actually don’t deep down will just leave you frustrated.
When I was in Army Cadets, I truly wanted success at a very deep level. I wanted to become great as a leader. My thoughts and actions were in alignment. I actually did the work. The universe doesn’t actually recognize desire until you start taking action. Affirmations and visualizations aren’t actually needed. The universe knows what you want and won’t actually help you until you take action.
Being honest about what you actually want allows you to get clear about your desires. You have to get rid of desires that aren’t authentic. Live true to your real desires. If you aren’t clear on your desires, then ask yourself what you actually do with your time now. Most people get their desires from the world around them. True desires are easy to manifest. Fake desires are not going to manifest, and you won’t actually enjoy the process. If you have a real desire, your soul will keep reminding you about it.
Having fear about an authentic life will keep you trapped. Don’t give into fear and don’t distract yourself with false desires. If you don’t live life true to yourself, you’ll feel low. Life is supposed to be fun, and if life isn’t fun, you’re not doing it right.
The law of attraction will make it very easy for you to manifest your hearts desire. Addictions aren’t soul desires, they are distractions. Gambling, smoking, coffee, and such aren’t my soul desires. They are poor coping mechanisms. Facing fears and not shying away from difficulty is the path forward. Money is also not a soul desire. It’s a resource that will allow you to live your soul desire, but by itself it makes little difference. The universe loves you, after all your higher self created this lifetime for you. Not to pay off karma, but to truly be happy.
So the law of attraction is like the book the Alchemist. You have a personal legend, an epic life story. You are the main character, the creator, and the viewer all in one. Life is about a journey, not a destination where all efforts are no longer necessary. Embrace the adversity in your life story. Your character and who you become is part of the fun. If life was easy it wouldn’t be worth it. God wants you to enjoy a life you truly love. Getting your soul desire is not going to be hard.
In 2007, I fell in love with hockey. I have my work life and my fun life. Hockey is my actual soul desire. I have been dealing with mental health issues, and work as a peer support worker in mental health. This is the part of my path I call work. I do work that lines up with my skills. The work I do allows me to play hockey. Lately over the last few years, I got addicted to gambling. The gambling took my enjoyment away from hockey. But by quitting gambling I will actually enjoy my soul desire more. In 2011, I met all my friends through ball hockey. My personal soul desire is to be a good ball hockey player. I always feel most at home when I’m playing hockey.
My personal legend in Army Cadets was also a soul level desire. I became one of the best cadets in my era because I loved it. I loved shining my boots, and everything else that cadets entailed. I became a great shooter and drill sergeant. The reason I didn’t run out of drive is because I was where my soul truly wanted to be. I was easily putting in my efforts because I loved everything about cadets. I ended my career having reached all of my goals. Part of my story was being up for promotion to Chief in 2011, and someone else getting the promotion. But the next year I stayed with the process and got it.
I also had a mental health journey that I took full circle by becoming a peer support worker. The law of attraction lined that up because it was true to who I am. The goal for me now is to get back to my soul desire of playing ball hockey. I love ball hockey more than gambling because in hockey you win with your friends. You feel good about those wins. Even when I lose, I love the process of hockey. Gambling never leads to fulfillment or satisfaction. The universe will only conspire to help you with soul level desires. Your ego based desires will not manifest as easily.
Focusing on what you want is the secret. Not what society has made you think you want. But what is it you truly want?
You’ll get that easily.
To your success,
Angus
