How to Manifest - Step 4b - Release the Result

Although the previous post, on step 4a of the process of manifesting your desires, covered the idea of calming your worries, I realized that there’s a larger aspect of releasing worry that still needs to be addressed, and THIS is really the hardest step.

Recognize that whether you manifest your desire or you don’t manifest your desire, it’s all okay.

If you’re new at the manifesting process, just reading the above sentence may have hurt you. You may have cried out, “Are you kidding me?! I’m here to learn how to manifest my desires, not to be told that it’s okay if I DON’T manifest my desires! It’s NOT okay if I don’t manifest my desires!”

At first, it can seem like an impossible proposition. How can you both pursue something and believe that it doesn’t matter whether you get it or not?!

You may have to work on this one as you go along, day by day, taking the steps to manifest what you desire. You can learn how to both strive for something and simulteneously realize that your life will still be important, joyous, and meaningful, even if you don’t actually get what you’re working towards, regardless of what that is.

Part of this is just enjoying the process. Your life doesn’t start the day that you manifest your desire. Your life has already started, and you can enjoy each moment of it, regardless of how far you are from your visualized desires.

Another part is recognizing that there are things you can’t control, and you must release them from your mental grasping. Take the steps toward manifesting your desire that are under your control, and release the idea of trying to control the things you can’t control.

Lastly is the idea that life is eternal. Physics tells us that energy can never be created or destroyed, but simply changes from one form to another. Religion (and our own experience of self-awareness) tells us that there is a core part of ourselves that is not confined by our bodies, but instead connected to the infinite magic that is the mind, the spirit, and all-encompassing energies of thoughts, emotions, and intuitions.

Manifesting your desires in this life is a beautiful thing, and that’s why life helps you out along your path to manifesting. Playing with your abilities, your creativities, your imagination, and your energetic efforts at manifesting your desires is part of fulfilling your purpose in the life you’re living. Whether you actually manifest what you set out to manifest or not, you should enjoy each living, breathing moment of the daily journey from here to there, knowing that everything is exactly all right, all the time, no matter what.
