Do you believe in the power of manifestation?

[Takes Two To Tango]

This is from google:

What is the power of manifestation? Manifestation is essentially the act of feeling something is yours and making it real. When you manifest something, you're making it known to the universe that this thing — whether it's a dream job or a new car — will be yours.

This type of encouragement has gained popularity as a mantra in an idea known as manifesting or manifestation. Manifesting is based on the idea that you can think your dreams into reality. By having a clear vision and focusing on it through a variety of manifestation methods, you can attract your dream into your life.

No, not really but it can't hurt. Unless you do some witch sigil shit I'm not gonna do that

 

[Contempt]

Yes, the power of masturbation is great. Big fan.

 

[William Huggins]

Only in that it might help with a positive outlook on life........ But that's about it.... For me

The Secret(wink , wink) is plain, old, boring hard work.

many people seem to make it work and believe in it. But some of those same people have plenty of failure too. I think Bruce Lee was a believer, Michael Jackson was a believer, Ali and Prince. To their own detriment at times. Ali thought he could believe his way into fighting into his forties, Michael thought he could sell 100 million albums and was obsessed with outselling thriller the rest of his life and I'll always think Prince worked his ass off on many projects that just did not get him back to Purple Rain. Is it real? I really don't know but I think it's cruel to tell people that all they have to do is believe and everything they want will happen, especially when you are reliant on other people's resources who do not give a shit about you and will treat you any kind of way.

Many successful people do not tell you the price they paid, MJ might have had to go casting couch, Sugar Ray Leonard definitely took money from some old pervert when he was a teen. All we see is the end result and don't think about all the games and sacrifices (and yes, hard work too) that someone may have made.

Nicely said man.

Concieve, believe, achieve.

There is a malleability to your circumstances, a positive mindset is generally more constructive to creating ones that benefit you, but only up to a certain point. After that, you bump your head into the immutability of reality that doesn't care about how much or how little you're visualizing your goals. As a poster mentioned earlier, there is a confirmation and survivor bias when it comes to our perception of successful people (even by themselves) 'willing' their desires into reality.

Well said. For those who are super successful. Do you think that variable of luck is on their side kind of thing?

 

[HHJ]

It makes you more ready to snatch it when it passes by you. Therein lies the benefit.

 

[Adamant]

To a degree. For example, I think of a vacation I want to go on and then go on it. While I'm there I'm thinking "I did it."

 

[Crawler89]

No. It's not some magikal thing.
It's you setting a goal and working to it just with a nicer name

No. There’s value in making plans, having goals, both short term and long term. Discipline and delayed gratification. But manifestation is some secular religious bullshit. Manifestation does fuck all in and of itself. There are some successful people who believe in it, but it’s not the reason they’re successful. And most people who buy into it are just wasting their time and effectively being superstitious.

 

[panamaican]

Yes. In the sense that the universe will give you what you need when you need it if you truly believe that you need that thing.

Not in the sense that you can manifest a big house and a fancy car.

That so true, if it was that easy, everyone would be successful to various degrees.

Do you believe in the force?

Voted no because the explaination is too Hocus pocus. But, if drive your thoughts, actions, and habits in the right direction, I think you can achieve a lot.

I have no idea what you’re talking about with Sugar Ray Leonard but I disagree about Michael Jackson. Jackson was the greatest prodigy since Stevie Wonder and Berry Gordy was happy to snatch him up just like he did with Stevie. Motown didn’t have a casting couch for little boys, come on man! Casting couch was for Hollywood actresses.

Berry Gordy was a womanizer and a ruthless businessman but he wasn’t some Sandusky type. Let’s please not speculate about shit like this. Frankly it’s against the rules here.

Jackson had a rough childhood in a lot of ways. Rough area, physically and mentally abusive father, missed out on a lot of normal childhood stuff because he was always working and became famous at a really young age. But there’s zero evidence of casting couch crap or that the higher ups at Motown had those types of inclinations.

first I'm hearing about Leonard too....
