The power of manifestation and focus

All my life I have had quite the creative imagination and I spend a lot of my time making up stories and scenarios in my head that would never happen and usually in those scenarios I think of people i already know in real life even if i don’t know them well I like to have points of references for how a person looks in advance. I remember one of the things that I kept imagining for years as a kid was meeting a guy I had a crush on but he lived in another country (somehow there is always the long-distance problem in my life) anyways this guy I imagined how I’d meet him, how I would look, how he would look, how he would act, how we’d fall in love, which country I lived in, how old I was when i met him blah blah blah and I never thought too much about it, it was just my way of making myself sleepy before bed. 

Jump forward a couple of years later, somehow me and the guy kept in touch and we started talking and out of nowhere he said he liked me. Now some of you may say this is a coincidence but I don’t believe in coincidences, the universe works in mysterious ways and everything happens for a reason. Back then when he confessed his love to me I was happy and we started dating, at the time I didn’t think much of it but it was recently that I realized that I am the one who kept him in my life, because I always had him in my mind, I always imagined him in my future, I manifested his love and existence in my life. We broke up after a while because of the distance, I couldn’t handle it. 

But he wasn’t the only thing or only person that I manifested in my life, when I started paying attention to the world around me and seeing the signs I realized that when I focus on something with everything that I have it happens. 

As i mentioned in the previous episodes, for most of my life, relationships have been a huge part of my life, they took a lot of my mind capacity I haven’t figured out what exactly I’m supposed to learn or what cycles I’m supposed to break in terms of relationships but I know i’ll get there. When I used to read a lot of romance books, I used to read a lot of those bad boy lover kind of characters and I love them, and I would always imagine a guy of the same qualities dating me and indeed it happened. Back then while i was thinking of those qualities I didn’t realize i was manifesting but last summer, while I was travelling I met this guy that I had a great connection with and for a second there I thought he was the one, he was everything I wanted, literally, and that’s when I realized, he was exactly the kind of person I expected my boyfriend to be, but when I actually spent time with him I realized those qualities are not qualities I could live with anymore, nor did i find them that appealing and I saw the roots of why when I was younger I chose to be with this kind of person. I saw the toxicity of the mindset I was in which led me to manifest a person that wasn’t going to help me grow but would drain me. 

It’s then I was like I need to be conscious of the thoughts I have and the energies I send out to the universe. Which is why I keep telling you to observe and reflect because it’s important to understand where these thoughts come from, understand why you want that thing, what are the possible consequences. It’s why the most important mission in your human life should be about understanding yourself and loving yourself because then you would know your worth and know what things you need and what you don’t need, what to focus on and what to let go. 

Manifestation is the way the world works. Whether we are the ones in control or if we are just being swept by our thoughts. You attract what you think and what you are. That’s how energies work. It’s like an instinct that humans have just like breathing, we can breathe consciously or we can have it run on autopilot. Doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Think about it. Look back at your life, the things you wanted as a child, the things you have, the places you visited, the people you met, observed them.  Do you see it? 

I consider myself one of the lucky ones who has found comfort in the instinct I have and always knew it was there without spending too much thought on how it works what it exactly is but I know first hand that this isn’t the case for everyone. Not everyone can believe that just by thinking or saying something they put out an energy to the world and they start attracting what they say or want. That doubt is the reason I think they don’t get what they want but instead they attract the opposite of what they want. Because there is a dominant part of their brain that is convinced it’s impossible. 

For me that is why I consider the energy of love and hope especially hope as one of the most powerful energies and frequencies of the world. Because when you put out the energy of a possibility of good even in the hardest and most “impossible” circumstances you attract it and I believe it happens. 

There is a teaching in Islam that says e3qel wa tawakal which basically means do your best and leave it up to the universe, at least that’s how I like to interpret it. And it works when you do all you can possibly do to get the things you really want and focus on it and pray for it and hope for it with all your heart the universe, god or whatever you believe in will answer you. 

Before I got to university I wanted to go to a specific school, which I thought and considered the best in Journalism, however It didn’t work, I failed my English test in high school twice and my acceptance got taken away from me, but i didn’t lose hope because I knew that I will travel to the country i’m currently in and I knew that I will be in post-secondary education. Deep down i knew and i believed it so i didn’t let myself drown in the feeling of failure nor doubt. I kept trying to find a way (this is what i mean by keep doing what you can, show the universe that you really want it because the universe will test you to see how badly you want the things you are asking for) of course by the time I got my grade for my English test it was three or four days before my flight to that country, i had already paid a down payment for my residence and I had already thought of all the things i wanted to do when i got there but all of that was taken from me in a second.

I cried a lot that day,of course, it’s okay. Then i started calling and contacting colleges near where i had family and I would call them and be like “Hi i just applied online i know it takes 24 hours for it to get into the system but i’m in a hurry and my flight is in three days, i have all my documents ready how can i speed up the process?” And they gave me an email to send my information to and I didn’t hear back from them. Until I was in Egypt at the airport during my five hour layover, I was chilling and then the thought of checking my e-mail got to my head. I went into my inbox, i found nothing, i shrugged it off, then i decided i want to check my junk mail even though I never do, and there it was my acceptance letter. It happened. I got to the country i wanted to live in, i got into the program i wanted, i was closer to family than i would have originally been, and i got to post-secondary education.

I love telling this story for a couple of reasons, one, it is proof that if you focus on something that you really really really want it will come to you and two, even if it wasn’t what i originally had in mind my two years in college were THE best two years of my life i grew so much and even though i was having a hard time being away from my parent I knew it would have been harder if i went to the university i originally wanted to go to. Yes it wasn’t exactly what i asked for but it was the best thing that happened to me and it was better for me at the time than what i originally had in mind. It is like what I asked for but in a better version.

I have another wild experience of how I got to the university I am in right now if you’re interested in hearing it please comment down below. 

 I am telling you about my experiences so that if there is a part of you that is doubtful i want it to see evidence and proof of existence that yes that happens, yes it works but it’s not like something as easy as saying oh yeah I want this and it will appear, no you have to work for it and give it so much of your time and energy and believe in it and believe in yourself. I believe in you and that is why I am telling you this. 

This is how i got to post-secondary education twice, how i got my car, how i got my first solo apartment and more. 

Before I leave you I do want to warn you about something, or maybe not warn you but more like make you aware that even if you don’t give as much attention to the things you say and think, those are still energies that are being sent out to the universe. That’s why I usually try to stay away from saying things i don’t mean, or say sarcastically or as a joke because then i’m attracting that to myself even if i don’t want it, the universe responds to energies not your intentions what you put out is what you get. So be careful. 

Remember, observe your thoughts, emotions and reactions, reflect on them and understand them and most importantly take control of them.
