A few months back, I read The Secret, The Power, and The Magic. I also completed the 28 days of The Magic practices and received many of the good things I wished for. After completing this practice, I continued to be grateful for all the good stuff I already had. I visualized every day what I wanted from life, but for a long time, it did not manifest.

I started feeling anxious and impatient, and obviously, that invited negativity. At times, I felt low and frustrated. At one point, the negativity reached its peak, and that was when I said to myself, “I cannot take any more of it. It is high time that I analyze myself and figure out what that thing I am missing is.” I asked this question to the Universe and wholeheartedly believed that the Universe would answer it and show me the right path.

The very same day I asked this to the Universe, there was a story posted on this website that revealed the “one thing” I was missing.

On the same day, I closed my eyes and opened to a random page of “The Secret.” The page that I opened clearly described why I was missing that particular thing. The thing I was missing was “to believe.” I said to myself that “I believed,” but I did not really feel the belief 100% from within.

The reason why I had a tough time believing was that I just looked at the surface results and then felt disappointed that what I wanted was not there yet. I was being impatient to receive, not letting the thought go out of my mind, and was not letting the Universe do its part. In other words, I was not letting it go. Instead, I pondered over it continuously, believing that the more I thought about it and felt it, the faster it would happen. I failed to understand that releasing the thought and relaxing was equally important after visualizing it. “Ask. Believe. Receive.” – I was missing a very important step, “to believe.” Obviously, as per the law of attraction, it was taking a long time to see my dreams come true. The result was more anxiety, more impatience, and hence, the negativity.

The moment I realized what I was missing, I decided to keep my faith unwavering no matter what, and avoid being impatient and anxious, even for one single time. I did this by letting the thought go after I visualized it. I relaxed and focused on my daily activities, believing deep down in my mind that this friendly Universe gives me whatever I ask for, and I do not need to think about it again and again. It was difficult to feel grateful, happy, and positive, especially when the things around me were not going so great, but I consciously did it. I stopped judging and doubting the law of attraction from the current situation, and did not let in even one single thought of doubtfulness. Instead, I felt grateful and happy from within.

Not to my surprise, the very first thing I had asked for manifested the very next day. The moment it happened, tears rolled down my eyes, and my faith in God, the Universe, the supreme power, or whatever you call it, became unbreakably strong and unwavering. The very same day, a few other things happened in the way I wanted them to. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I learned a very important lesson in my life that I am sharing here. I really wish that it helps all those who found themselves in a similar situation as mine, all those who are pondering over the delay in turning their dreams into reality.

1 Ask once, and after that, let it go! Just believe that it is coming into reality. Feel your faith in the Universe. It is the same type of faith that a newborn baby has while resting in its mother’s arms, believing that it is the safest place on earth.

2 Once visualized, release it and focus on your daily chores. Feel happy each moment. Relax, feeling that you have done your part and now the Universe is working to turn your dream into reality. In other words, let it go!

3 Do not judge the end result or become impatient, simply from the current situation. Do not start brainstorming on “why,” “how,” or “when.” If you do that, it means that you are still in doubt, and you have not let it go. And that would simply cause a delay in receiving what you desire. Even if you have the slightest hint that any negativity is attacking your faith, replace it with an optimistic thought by saying to yourself, “The opportunities are infinite, and the Universe always gives me the best one,” and then just relax.

4 In any case, whether you are doing visualization, being grateful, praising something, or blessing someone, make sure that you are actually feeling that emotion from within. You do not even have to say anything in words if you really feel it inside you.

I am extremely grateful to this kind and loving Universe for always bringing the right things to me at the right time, and blessing me with a wonderful life. Rhonda, thank you for sharing this golden knowledge about the law of attraction with the world. Because of you, countless people are living their dreams.

I am equally grateful to all those people who shared their stories here. Your stories kept me inspired and motivated all the time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
