Definition: Manifest - able to be seen : clearly shown or visible (Webster Dictionary)
I wish I knew, right when I was born, that my thoughts can create my reality. I've always wondered, what feels like my whole life, how people like, Lil Wayne (my favorite metaphorical artist), just “magically” had such great and unique talent. Why was he born with "given talent"? What he probably manifested earlier than I did (no competition) is what he wanted. He wanted to be “the Best Rapper Alive”- literally singing in his song ‘Let The Beat Build’, “I am the best rapper alive, and I will eat you alive.” He is telling you what he is until you believe it with complete CONFIDENCE. This is something we all can do if we’re not doing it (telling everybody how great we are :) ) already. Although, some may say he’s not the best; he believes it, and so do millions of others. Point is- he created his reality/dream with his THOUGHTS and TALENT.
I just started using this “technique” a few months ago - still unsure of how this is actually possible. Here is an example: if you’re a great cook, and you manifest everyday being known as the best chef around, you will absolutely become that. Now on the flip side, you know your voice isn’t the prettiest to listen to; you sing karaoke and in the shower/car…on your leisure time. You are not going to take that and manifest in becoming, say, the next Madonna.
Take your talents and what you love and envision your reality. Every single day, journal and envision you living the life you want to live. This will slowly take ten fold. I know, it’s hard to believe how powerful your thoughts are, but your thoughts can change your day/mood/life.
Here are notes I took from “Awake the Giant Within” by Tony Robins. Below he talks about how to create the reality you want.
1. First, we must believe something must change
2. Second, we must not only believe that things must change, but we must believe, “I must change it.”
3. We have to believe, “I can change it.”
Courage, unused, diminishes.
Commitment, unexercised, wanes.
Love, unshared, dissipates.
This is great to know because you can reverse whatever you have not used to get what you really want. Practice to commit and it will no longer wane. Use your courage and it will arrive, showing everyone by surprise! Now if you haven’t even started envisioning your “actual” reality and manifested it; it's not too late.
How to get what you really want
Ask yourself what you truly want in life. Why?
If you continually submerge yourself in negative states, you’ll never fulfill that promise of excellence.
Whatever we focus on becomes our idea of reality.
Change your physiology and focus on taking control of your life.
How we represent things in our minds will determine how we feel.
Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.
Discipline your mind! A mind out of control will play tricks on you!
Change your state and you change your life
If there are things you need to accomplish, but can’t get motivated, realize you’re not in the appropriate state.
You’ve got to be in a determined state in order to succeed.
Create a huge list with “How do I make myself feel good?”
Develop a plan for pleasure each and everyday. Don’t just randomly hope that pleasure will somehow show up; set yourself up for ecstasy.
Condition your nervous system, your body, and your mental focus so that it searches constantly to see how everything in your life benefits you!
