I recently received an email from someone on my mailing list…
I’ve removed his name for the sake of privacy, but this was his response to my question of, “How are you?”
Not that good, can’t manifest the things I need when I want it. And trust me I got Bob Doyle, Bob Proctor, Joe Vitale, Mike Dooley and Hicks & Abraham. (not to mention the classics Nevelle, et all). Yet despite my careful study of the material and working to remove all blocks I still can’t manifest more then a few dollars at a time. Now trust me I am grateful for the things I have manifested, but damn I am behind after accounting for all I’ve spent to learn. Seems like everyday there’s a new course (from the same people) that’s better and covers the “missing secret (s)”, and yet I’ve not seen anything new in all of it.
Here’s my advice (it comes from experience):
When we learn about manifesting, Law of Attraction, etc… it’s easy to get caught up on trying to change our way of thinking. We can see there are problems and negative beliefs, so we try harder, and harder, and harder…
Well really all we’re doing then is reinforcing these negative thought patterns. We’re trying to “make up” for what we don’t have, rather than being, doing, and expressing gratitude for what we do have.
What ends up happening (if you’re lucky) is that eventually you tailspin into depression, nearly incapacitated and incapable of taking the action that will actually get youresults. It’s like we tell ourselves that we’re not ready to move forward (and it’s true), but we keep ourselves there by thinking that.
The unlucky ones just quit and accept a life of misery.
Now, here’s the trick. The whole deal about this manifesting, LOA, etc. stuff is that you’re supposed to FEEL good… you’re supposed to feel as if you already have all the money you desire… etc.
What makes you feel that way? What are you absolutely PASSIONATE about? What would you do all day, every day, if nobody ever found out and you never got paid for it… but you did simply because you enjoyed it with PASSION?
Start doing that! A big misconception with The Law of Attraction is that there’s no hard word involved, and that the teachers are on some other level than us, just sitting back and manifesting what they want.
This is only true to a degree.
They are able to channel their thoughts to attain what they want… but the BIG secret is that when you are doing something you love, you know the end result (because you’ve set an attainable goal and can see the steps line up in front of you), and you just continue doing, doing, doing… absolutely LOSING yourself in the action… that’s when it really happens.
Successful people often don’t realize that it’s considered “absurd” to work for 20 hours straight, and often never even realize they’re doing it themselves, because they are so lost in love and passion for the act!
You may feel ripped off… like, “So you mean, I learned all that, just to learn that the real secret is hard work?”.
This isn’t true. You see, to the outside perspective, it might SEEM like hard work… but when you are so lost in the doing, in the action, in the MOMENT at all times while working towards your goal… it never FEELS like work! It feels like passion, fun, excitement, enthusiasm, you name it…
I cannot tell you how many 18+ hour days I’ve worked over the past two months. But I feel like I’ve been partying and having the time of my life! Not only will you feel great about work when you are taking proper action… time will basically stop (in terms of your perception), as you totally lose yourself in the act of doing, and YOU BECOME THE MANIFESTATION YOU SEEK.
And then, when you’re done allowing the manifest to happen through you, you can look back, smile at your accomplishments…. go have fun, party, sail on a yacht, go to space, whatever it is… until curiosity and passion bring you to your next project, which is when you very well may find yourself locked in the basement, working away, again… for the benefit of all whom you touch.
As Warren Buffet said, “the important thing is to find some wet snow and a big hill”. Find something which you can do NOW, an act in which you can totally lose yourself. Not something you wish to do, but can’t yet… not something you have to learn how to do (unless it’s the learning which excites you)… just something which you know, absolutely, you can do now… and let it take you somewhere you desire.
Hope this helps.
Love,
Russell
p.s. Yes, in my belief, it is possible to manifest things on an entirely spiritual level, with no action necessary. However, if you find yourself stuck and unable to move forward towards what you want, a little action will always jump start you towards success. Sometimes it takes physical work to move us to an emotional state where life really does become effortless… and even when you’re there, there is NOTHING more exciting than losing yourself in the manifestation of something you are passionate about.
