Manifestation is real.
It takes on average 3 months, they said
I’ve always known that if you truly believe in something and you put that energy into the universe, then the universe rewards that energy with reality. No, I am not one of those energy readers/spiritual guidance counselors/religious healers that I imagine spew this type of statement. But my whole life, I believed in things so deeply - and lived and breathed and thought of said thing constantly - that when they came true, I felt it was because I was nearly willing it into reality. My hopes and dreams were so real and unwavering that there was no option for the universe not to deliver. I recently learned that this ‘phenomenon’ actually has a name - Manifestation. Manifestation is defined by the dictionary as “the action or fact of showing an abstract idea”. And that’s it - you believe it as fact, so the abstract idea must come true.
I manifested my high school crush asking me to Junior Prom. I manifested my first job in NYC in luxury beauty. I manifested meeting, loving, and marrying the perfect guy in the most perfect wedding of all (if I may say so myself). I manifested a closet filled with things I always hoped I would own. I ultimately manifested my dream career in the fashion industry.
So now I’ve manifested myself getting the three jobs I’ve spent three months weeding through hundreds of interviews for. Many case studies and firm handshakes later, why do I get the sneaking suspicion that I don’t actually believe that I am good enough for the roles? And if I don’t truly believe I deserve these roles, will my lifelong belief in magical manifestation fail me? Is really hard work and preparation enough? I wait.
