Big Goal Or Little Goal?

It’s important at this point to make a distinction between material, or less significant, desires and those that are life-altering. If you are working towards manifesting a new car or a Caribbean vacation, the remaining steps in the process should be very helpful. However, if you are planning on changing careers, or taking on a large project that will impact your life in a significant way, it’s important that you take certain steps to ensure that you are making the correct decision beforehand.

Eliminate All Other Possibilities

Part of being clear about manifesting your desires is to allow only one possible outcome for each thing or situation you desire. If you eliminate all other possibilities, you are giving clear instructions to the Universe about exactly what you want, with no other options, no ambiguity and no confusion. It’s worth repeating here that you do not want to dictate how you will receive what you desire. Let the Universe figure that out, and let It bring you what you want in the best and most efficient manner possible.

If you eliminate all other possibilities, you are in essence choosing only one from the infinite number of possibilities available to you. If you’ve read the quantum physics page, you are aware that until something is observed by the human eye, it does not yet exist in physical form. It only exists as a possibility. The act of observation (or choice) makes it become physical in the spot that you have chosen to see it. Therefore, by eliminating all possibilities but one, you are taking it out of its un-manifest (non-physical) form, and manifesting it into a physical form.

There is a wonderful scene in the film the What The Bleep Do We Know in which Amanda (played by Marlee Matlin) encounters a young boy playing basketball. When she has her back to him, he has hundreds of basketballs all bouncing around him at once. But when she turns around to look, they “collapse” into one, which is the one ball she observes. And that is because on some level, she has chosen to see that basketball in that exact location. The same principle applies to anything you choose to observe or, more importantly, to experience. It is all a matter of personal choice!

Make The Decision

The most critical part of this process is to make a committed decision that you will create that which you desire. This is also one of the most difficult parts of the process. But nothing will happen until you make the decision! You will want to see your goal as if it has already happened, as if it already exists. In fact, it already does exist, just not yet in a physical form. For instance, as I am writing this, I am in the process of visualizing the completion of this website. Although it is currently in process, when I visualize it, I see its final form with lots of well organized pages full of useful content. I see thousands of visitors coming to it every single day. I see people learning from the information presented here, and creating happiness and abundance in their own lives.

However, at the time of this writing, the website in its complete form is still not fully manifested on my server. I think of it as sitting in the empty space somewhere nearby, taking physical form page by page. But it does already exist “out there”, fully formed. By visualizing it, with intense emotion and strong expectation, I am co-creating it with the help of the Universe. And I know it will become fully developed!

Once you make the decision, and once you have eliminated all other possibilities, then it’s absolutely necessary that you maintain your focus on it in a laser-like fashion. By doing that (through daily visualizations, and through your absolute expectation that it will happen), you are raising your vibration to attract all the resources you need in order for it to become physical. As your vibration increases, it builds to the point that the thing you desire cannot possibly NOT happen. There is now no other alternative, as far as you and the Universe are concerned. The more laser-like your focus, and the more intense your desire, the faster it will happen.

Tying It All Together - The Three Keys To Attracting What You Desire

Intense desire is the spark that starts the engine of creating your reality and manifesting anything you desire in your life. It raises your vibration such that the Universe has no choice but to respond, by attracting to you that which matches your vibration. You will attract whatever is in the same vibrational frequency as you are, like tuning into a radio station.

Focusing attention on what you desire, and on all the details, clarifies your “instructions” to the Universe. It also helps raise your vibration by allowing your emotion to infiltrate the vision you hold in your mind every single day. Focusing your attention means you’re taking inspired action towards your desire whenever you feel in your gut that there’s something you must do. This may be a feeling that you should pick up the phone and call an old friend, who may have a piece of important information (or an opportunity) that you will need in order to achieve your goal. Focusing attention also means laying out your plan of action, but keeping that plan flexible in case the Universe should decide there’s an even better way to do things. (But however flexible the plan is, the goal remains constant and fixed.) Never take your eye off the goal, and it will come to you.

Making the decision that this is what you truly want, and that you will settle for nothing else, creates the expectation that you will get what you desire. Once the decision has been made, you will feel it in your entire body. Your goal will live in your heart and your bones, not just in your mind. You will know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this thing you desire is on its way to you right now!

Move Through The Fear

If you experience fear or doubts, try not to think about them for more than a few seconds. The longer you allow your mind to think about something, the more likely it is to start manifesting in your life. I have read that it only takes seventeen seconds for an idea to begin manifesting itself in physical form. So if you’re having fears or doubts, try to keep those thoughts at sixteen seconds or less! (On the other hand, you will want to hold the things that you desire in your thoughts for at least seventeen seconds…try it, it’s harder than you may think!)

If what you’re trying to achieve is something big and scary, such as creating a new business, fear can be a sign that you’re very close to achieving it. It can also stop you dead in your tracks if you let it, anywhere along the process. You will know which of these is happening to you when it happens, especially as you become more familiar with the steps in this process.

The closer you get to it, the scarier it may feel. And that’s a good sign! Recognize what it is (it’s not real), and then step through the fear and continue on your journey. It’s also helpful to ask yourself, “How am I right at this moment? Do I have enough money today? Do I have food and shelter today?” And then you will know that you are only fearing what you think might happen sometime down the road. It is not real!

Fear and faith are two sides of the same coin:

Fear is the expectation that something bad will happen at some point in the future.

Faith is the expectation that something good will happen at some point in the future.

So why not choose faith? It’s all up to you…

No Doubt About It – It’s Possible!

If you have any doubts about whether or not you can achieve what you desire, just remember this:

In our Universe, anything is possible!

It’s helpful to think not in terms of what is possible for you, but in terms of what’s possible for the Universe. Because if the Universe is capable of creating anything you can imagine, then by default, so are you. I found this little gem very helpful when I was having doubts about my ability to create this website. It opened up a whole range of possibilities and helped tremendously to alleviate my self-doubt.

Suggested Homework

Now it’s time to create a concrete goal statement. This statement will describe in exact terms what it is you desire. Pick a date in the future that you want this goal to become a reality. Then write down the goal in the present tense, as if it has already happened on that date. For instance, if you want an increase in income by a certain date, you may want to write:

“I am so happy and grateful, NOW THAT the Universe is bringing me $XXXX every single month.”

This format works extremely well, because you are infusing your goal with gratitude, which is one of the most powerful emotions in the Universe. You are also placing it in the present tense, which clarifies your expectation about it happening, therefore helping the manifestation process come to fruition.

Be careful about how you word the second part of the goal as well. If you say, “…now that I am earning $XXXX every single month”, that sends the wrong message to the Universe by dictating how the money will come to you. Once again, leave it up to the Universe how this will happen. The Universe may want you to win a raffle at the supermarket, so why would you want to actually work for it instead?? By allowing the Universe to “bring it” to you, you are giving It free rein to do as it chooses.

Once you have your goal clearly in mind, and you have it written down, sit quietly with it. Think about it, and feel where it resides in your body—it will live somewhere and feel a certain way. You may feel anxiety, discomfort, fear, or something else entirely in that part of your body. If that’s the case, your goal is not yet quite right. Try another combination of dates and goal details. If it’s money you want, try another dollar amount. Move the date forward or back.

Once it feels right, you will know. You will feel a shift, and a feeling of energy flowing that wasn’t there before. It will move into your heart and your solar plexus, and then it will have unstoppable energy to feed the goal through to completion. If it resides only in your mind (or elsewhere in your body) it will be far more difficult to achieve, if not impossible.

When I think about my main goal (which is to build a successful website), I actually feel energy bursting out of my heart and upwards. It took some time to get it there, though. I thought about my goal, and how I worded it, for about a week. And finally I got it right. Now it lives in my heart, and on these very pages.
