Develop A Manifest Mindset
By Philip Bourdon

Develop a manifest mindset; that's what you want to do.
The problem is, what are you trying to manifest? People are
trying to manifest jobs, nice clothes, cars, homes and even
winning the lottery. However, most of all, you need to
manifest yourself!

Explanations about the Law of Attraction and in developing
a manifest mindset have become over-simplified and reduced
to describing the Universe as being not much more than a
mere waiter who will enthusiastically bring to your table
anything you wish for from the menu of your desires. AS IF!

Your affirmations and visualizations are not made in a
vacuum; they must "pass though" who you are. If you have
subconscious negative feelings about yourself, your worth,
your confidence or your abilities, you can affirm and
visualize until you're blue in the face; you'll continue to
receive what you've been getting before. In your attempt to
develop a manifest mindset, you need to first manifest
yourself.

By "manifest yourself," I mean that your greatest desire
is to become a person of attraction, that has the personal
qualities and strengths that people are attracted to. To
reach this level of being a person of attraction means you
will have to do the necessary hard work.

Ah, but most people don't want to hear this. They want
another quick and easy approach that will rescue them from
the circumstances that they have created. It's those that
are willing to work on themselves, looking at and then
learning from the issues that are revealed from courageous
and fearless self-examination that experience the power to
manifest their desires. They seek to first develop who they
are before they seek things. Their manifest mindset focuses
on their personal growth.

James Allen, the writer of As A Man Thinketh, says this
about seeking personal growth and the work that is required:

"Many people are anxious to improve circumstances, but are
unwilling to improve themselves, they therefore remain
bound."

Then I read folks trying to manifest winning the lottery;
amazing. If all this manifesting was so easy, we would be
bumping into millionaires all day. Your affirmations and
visualizations must past through you first. Develop the
right manifest mindset.

You can be given the greatest tools in the world, but if
you haven't developed the proper skills in woodworking,
then that Adirondack chair that you just made won't be able
to support a cat. The tools are only as good as the one who
works them. Your manifest mindset needs to be focused on
manifesting powerful attraction qualities.

Learning to apply the Law of Attraction and developing a
manifest mindset is a life-long journey and not some switch
that you can turn on and off at will. It's a matter of self-
discovery where you seek personal growth so that you become
a person of attraction vs. someone who is actually stuck
where he's always been, and has nothing left but tricks and
gimmicks, hoping to manifest real life.

Here are some "steps" that you can take so that you become
a person of attraction who is manifesting him/herself to
the universe as someone aligned with and in sync with the
principles of the Law of Attraction:

* Diligently seek personal growth

* Be willing to pay the emotional and psychological
price of self-discovery and growth

* Develop a list of attractive personal qualities
before you develop the list of what possessions you want

* Practice "unglamorous" and unspectacular personal
traits like smiling often, giving firm handshakes, praising
others, being "quick to hear and slow to speak," walking
with your head held high and shoulders back and being
relentlessly positive and grateful.

Much of what will enable you to become a person of
attraction with a powerful manifest mindset are simple,
down-to-earth personal traits that teachers and parents
tried to instill in you; qualities that are hardly a
"Secret."

The light that shines through your words, eyes and spirit
is the most powerful and profound expression of a manifest
mindset that is seen in a human being. At times this
process is hard work, if not painful. Other times it will
be a glorious feeling of being in harmony with God/The
Universe that moves you to tears. Then again, much of it
will be fun!

dealing with the Law of Attraction that is much more
personal and practical than most information-only sites.
His website focuses on the practical side of applying the
Law of Attraction with a strong emphasis on personal
responsibility where we desire to become a people of
attraction before seeking all sorts of material things;
those will follow if we are faithful in becoming a powerful
"attractor." The site is: http://www.responsible-law-of-attraction-living.com
