The days of just accepting what comes your way can be over when you learn to manifest your desires with your Intentional Mind Power.
Manifesting is possible and a natural ability. In fact you are manifesting now. When you have satisfied the basic criteria of the Law of Attraction.
The basic criteria is to have firmly planted in your brain the thing you want to happen, happening. When you know beyond any shadow of a doubt that what you want is already yours. It's like when you order something from a catalog you know it is coming and it will be arriving soon.
In essence what you are doing is ordering something from a catalog. Only this catalog can give you anything you want as long as you can describe it in complete detail. You see it in your mind often and you know the color the style, the size. Whatever the details are see them in your mind and know that the universe is creating it especially for you.
Knowing that whatever it is you want is best for all concerned is what many people don't understand. In my mind all this means is that it is not taking anything from someone else. Having this object is not going to hurt anybody else.
Surely, if it is being made for you especially it is not depriving anyone of their desires. The universe will make them whatever they want to so yours couldn't be the only one possible. So you have no worries there.
Another obstacle people face is taking possession of the desired thing. There is no easier step in the whole process. All you have to do is LISTEN. The universe will tell you how to do this, exactly. Once you're able to reach the state of alpha while meditating you will find yourself more attuned to listen to your inner voice. This voice is the Cosmic Consciousness (the universe) counseling you.
You see it really is very simple and straightforward. If you can see it in your mind you and you can feel it in your heart then you can make it happen in your life. Once you have witnessed it work one time you will know it's true. From there out it is only a matter of putting your Intentional Mind Power to work and you will gain the life of your desires.
You are not limited in any way. Remember the source created the universe. That means the stars, the planet, the comets and everything, everywhere. If it can create all that then it can create anything you can image in your mind within reason.
