If we want to manifest something badly enough, we’ll do more than just ask for what we want and hope that it will come to us. We’ll get out and take action - we’ll do something about it. Whenever those little inspirations come to us to do something, we will follow through on them - no questions asked.

We will call the person we keep thinking about, we will take a class, we will apply for a different job, we will stop at the car dealership…if we want it badly enough.

Sometimes we’re too scared to take action; things are so much more comfortable if they remain exactly as they are. We may not like how things are, but at least we know what to expect. We know what’s going to happen on a daily basis. We know how to deal with everything. It may not be easy, but at least we’re used to it.

And that’s the hard part. Because sometimes, in order to want something badly enough, we have to step outside of our comfort zone. We have to take a risk. We have to remove the safety net. When we are at a point where we have no choice but to succeed, no choice but to manifest our desires, then we will do whatever it takes. We want our desires so badly that nothing can stand in our way.

And you know what happens next?

Things suddenly begin going our way. It’s as if miracles start appearing all over the place.

And before we know it, we have what we want.

When we want something so badly that we won’t take no for an answer, we combine a willingness to do whatever it takes and the intent to make it a reality. When that happens, the Universe responds and we manifest what we want.

When we want something badly enough and focus our mind on it, the only choice we have is success.

Manifest a great day!

I’ve received dozens of e-mails, all on the topic of books: books to learn more about manifesting, books to give as gifts, etc. So I’ve created a list of some of the books I recommend…just for you.

Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks - Esther and Jerry Hicks, along with Abraham, have been teaching how to create the life you desire for two decades and it shows. This book is well-written and easy to understand.

Ask and It Is Given explains the importance of thought and emotions in manifesting. A myriad of exercises are provided to help you manifest your desires, overcome resistance, and feel good. There are also chapters on relationships, prosperity, and health.

However, if you want a book that you can read in one sitting, this isn’t it. The first time you read it, you may not be able to get through very many chapters at a time. But if you keep at it, you’ll be glad that you did.

Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More by Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len - This book is an introduction to Self I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono (SIDH). Basically, SIDH is a system that removes any resistance you might have to attracting your desires. I’ve found this system to be more thorough at removing resistance than other methods, such as EFT and the Sedona Method, while working just as fast. This method also works well with affirmations. For example, if, when using an affirmation, you feel resistance, doubt, tension in your body, or just find it difficult to consistently say the affirmation, you can simply apply SIDH. In no time, your reaction to the affirmation will change, you’ll automatically begin believing the affirmation, and you’ll notice faster results when you use the affirmation.

Now, this book has some pretty big cons: 1) Joe Vitale does a lot of promotion in the book of both his products and himself, 2) several chapters should have been deleted because they just act as filler, and 3) Joe tries to convince you to attend a seminar to learn more about Ho’oponopono.

However, it’s pretty easy to ignore Joe’s promotional tactics.  Also, Zero Limits does present enough information on SIDH and various techniques used in its application in order for you to apply it without attending a seminar. However, if you feel a seminar is necessary after reading the book, you can save hundreds of dollars by simply buying a recording of a seminar at www.zerolimits.info. I haven’t viewed the recording. But, then again, I don’t feel a seminary is necessary. The book is sufficient.

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay - I just finished reading this book and I highly recommend it. It does a wonderful job of explaining how our thoughts and emotions affect not only our life, but our health. Techniques are provided for changing thoughts, healing physical ailments (everything from acne to cancer), and improving finances, relationships, and jobs.

I think the only negative about this book is the heavy emphasis on affirmations.  While I believe affirmations work, there are also other techniques that work as well.  Also, sometimes it can be difficult to see results from affirmations if there is resistance to receiving the outcome being affirmed.  However, it is a good book that can help people transform their lives.

Secrets of Attraction: The Universal Laws of Love, Sex and Romance by Sandra Anne Taylor - This is a wonderful book that covers not only how to manifest a new relationship, but how to improve that ones that you already have.  There are exercises and techniques to help you figure out not only what you want in a relationship, but also why you don’t have the relationship you desire and how you can get it now. This book is written in a manner that makes you feel like you have a personal coach right there with you, holding your hand, guiding you through the process. If I could only say one thing about this book, it’s that it works.

The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price - This is a great book for raising your prosperity consciousness. The Forty Day Prosperity Plan found within the book really works to take your abundance to the next level. Now, this book does make a lot of references to God which can be a turn off to some. But don’t let it turn you off from this book. The book can easily be modified to refer to God as the Source, the Universe, or any term that might be more acceptable.

Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder - This book has been around for years and there’s a reason. It provides wonderful insight on how to manifest prosperity in all areas of your life - money, relationships, health, etc. There are wonderful examples and techniques for manifesting prosperity - covering everything from visualization to affirmations to removing resistance. Following the techniques in this book, can produce results, but like with all manifesting techniques, you have to be consistent.

The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn by Florence Scovel Shinn consists of four complete books by Florence Scovel Shinn. I think the best thing about this book is its teachings on taking action.  If you have ever wondered about the importance of taking action to manifest your desires or had trouble understanding when to act, this book is for you. It does a wonderful job of explaining action and provides a myriad of examples to do so.  However, it doesn’t stop there.  If you have been looking for synchronicities or miracles to appear in your life, this book can put you on that path.

I know there are more books out there. Who knows which ones I’ll write about next…

What did you ask for when you woke up this morning?

1. Give up

The Law of Attraction isn’t about resigning yourself to not having what you want.

Yes, you have to be willing to detach yourself from the outcome, but detachment isn’t about giving up.  It is about being okay with not getting what you want.  Those are two very different things.

When you say, “I really, really want this, but I’m going to let it go.  I’m going to be okay with never having it,” but you feel nervous or scared at the thought of not having it, you’re not letting it go and you’re not going to attract what you want.

You have 3 choices: 1) You can be detached from your desire and allow it to manifest in your life.  2) You can remain attached to it and prevent it from coming to you.  3) You can give up and resign yourself to never having what you want.

2. Ask for more than you’re ready to receive

If you want to attract a million dollars, that’s fabulous.  You can do it.  However, if you are currently struggling to live paycheck-to-paycheck, then your current lifestyle might make it difficult for you to attract a million dollars.

When you have trouble finding the money to pay you bills or you can’t afford a simple meal at a restaurant, then it can be hard to allow a million dollars into your life.

In addition to asking for the million dollars, you should also ask for what you need right now.  As you begin to receive more of the things you need right now, it will become easier to allow a million dollars to come to you.

3. Tell everyone how bad things are for you

When you tell a story of how bad things are in your life, you’re attracting more of these bad things.  You’re not allowing your life to change, but instead are continuing to envision things as bad.  Let your story become your past and allow the future you desire to become your present.

4. Avoid people who are happy and successful

We tend to associate with people who are like us.  If we are unhappy and dissatisfied with out lives, we tend to spend our time with people who are also unhappy and dissatisfied.  If we are happy and loving our lives, we associate with people who are happy and living great lives.

When you surround yourself with people who are happy and successful, it becomes easier to see yourself as happy and successful.  You begin to take on their energy and happiness and success start flowing to you.

5. Be lazy

If you want to win the lottery, you have to buy a lottery ticket.  You can’t sit at home, waiting for a ticket to come floating through your door on a windy day.  It could happen.  But your chances of getting what you want are much higher if you do something about it.

Whatever you want, don’t sit at home on your couch.  Go after your dreams.  Follow your inspirations.  Pay attention to the signs the Universe gives you.  Just do something.
