Manifesting results we want in our lives--like more wealth, better health, happier relationships, etc.--can happen in two different ways.
(1) We can simply do nothing, wait, and hope that they arrive by pure happenstance, or
(2) we can be diligent each and every day to put effort into bringing the results we want closer to us.
I don't know about you, but I'm setting up my tent in the second camp! This is because I know that manifestation is not a mystery. Manifesting our desires, which begin as fuzzy thoughts, into our everyday reality is a process we can master.
Knowledge, by itself, produces nothing. It's the combination of knowledge, intent, desire, and action that really starts to make things happen.
It's like having knowledge about how to grow a garden. If you want big, healthy vegetables, you certainly must have gardening knowledge. But only when you see yourself picking ripe fresh tomatoes and enjoying them so much, will the desire move you.
The desire to fulfill your vision takes you straight to the actions of buying, planting, and watering the seeds. Once this process is complete, the vegetable garden can become a reality.
There is a technique available right now for manifesting our dream life. Here's the step-by-step process revealed for you:
1. Determine the Ideal
Ask yourself, "in the ideal world, what would be different about my current situation" or "if I could have absolutely any outcome I wanted for this particular problem, what would that look like". Be very specific and don't get bogged down with you think may not be possible. Brainstorm at least 3 different answers. If you catch that little voice in the back of your head saying, "no, that's not possible", you must ignore it. Choose your favorite ideal.
2. Virtual-ize the Ideal
Pretend the ideal has occurred. Close you eyes and imagine that it's about to happen, that it does happen, and that it already happened. Feel grateful that the ideal did happen, and understand how it changes your life.
Of course you know that your ideal scenario did not happen in your "real" life, but that it is working in your "virtual" life. When you can exist in both your "real" life and your "virtual" life simultaneously, you are making progress. The more consistently you can exist with one foot in both worlds, the closer they will move toward each other.
3. Realize the Ideal
As your "virtual" life gets very close to your "real" life, you will feel it so powerfully that you have no choice but to speak about it as truth. You will have no choice but to take actions toward your "virtual" life that begin to place it in your reality. You start to look forward to it so much that the joy of having your "virtual" life soaks through you.
4. Manifest the Ideal
This is the point at which your "virtual" and "real" lives merge completely.
The real trick to Step #2, Virtual-ize the Ideal, is to spend time focusing on exactly what you want. Many people are so frustrated and upset about not having what they want, that they focus on their lack. This, of course, creates the complete opposite result that we want.
There are some powerful visualization tools that can be used to imprint your "virtual" life into your subconscious. This will speed up the time it takes to move into Step #3 and to accomplish Step #4.
So be sure to catch your mind sneaking off to think about the wrong things, and pull it back into concentration on the right things. For instance, always believe:
• that you have a right to have what you want
• that you are personally worthy of anything you want
• that the world has plenty of whatever you want to go around
• that there is a higher purpose in having what you want
• that having what you want is attainable
• that you are already grateful for your future abundance
• that negative thoughts never serve you
Master the 4-step manifestation process, keep your thoughts focused on what is positive and productive, and you'll be surprised how quickly you can manifest your dream life

1440 Simple Steps to Personal Success
By Lisa Almeida
For many business owners, checking email is one of the first tasks of the day. What if you checked your email one morning and found something like this?
Good Morning!
Today is your lucky day! If you check your bank account, you will find that $1440 dollars have been added to it while you were sleeping. This is not a trick. This money is yours to use in any way you like today. But at the end of the day, whatever you do not use will disappear - forever.
I think you'd agree that this is a very generous offer. However there are some restrictions:
"You can exchange the money for anything you like.
"You can buy things for yourself and others.
"You can invest it in things that will bring a future return.
"But you cannot save it - at midnight each night the balance of the $1440 will go to zero.
"However, at 12:01 another $1440 will appear with the same restrictions as the previous day.
Enjoy this gift and use it wisely!
What would you do with an opportunity like this? I challenge you to stop for a moment and really consider what you would do with an endless daily supply of $1440.
Ah, what a nice fantasy. Too bad it isn't real, right? Oh, but it is. Except that the 1440 you receive everyday is not money - it's minutes.
Everyday you get 1440 minutes to spend or invest any way you like. How you use your daily allotment of minutes is entirely up to you.
"You can spend your minutes engaged in activities that bring you and those around you joy and pleasure.
"You can invest your minutes in endeavors that will generate a return of wealth in countless ways down the road - including financial rewards.
"But you can't bank them because at the end of the day, the minutes that made it up are gone forever.
This is a really interesting concept, but the frosting on the cake comes when you realize that everyone gets the same deal everyday. Everyone - regardless of age, social standing, education, bank balance, shoe size, height, weight, gender, race, geographical location or any other classification you can come up with - gets a daily package of 1440 minutes to make the most of.
So how have you been using your 1440 each day? Have you been investing in yourself - your physical, mental or spiritual health? Have you been investing in your business - reading and learning how to grow your strengths and minimize your weaknesses? Have you been pursuing your passions? And what about your progress? Have you been measuring your success against your own yardstick or someone else's?
If you are able to place your head on the pillow most evenings and drift peacefully off to sleep, then chances are you're spending your minutes well and wisely.
However, if swift and sound sleep evades you because you are fraught with fear, anxiety and doubt, then you may want to re-assess the use of your 1440 and consider making some adjustments to your priorities and choices. It could be that a bit of fine tuning is all that's needed to bring you face to face with bliss.
