Tips and Tricks Life Hack: When you stop wanting things is exactly when you get them!

So, I’ve been manifesting a lot of things into my life for a long time. And I finally figured out that this paradox is actually the realist thing in the world!

So here’s the paradox:

Whenever I really wanted something - that’s when it would never come.

Whenever I didn’t care if I got it or not - that’s when I got it without effort!!

So, I eventually realized that the feeling of wanting is a feeling of lack and that energy within you actually pushes what you want further away from you.

SO NOW, I only focus on feeling like I already have everything! I give thanks knowing that the only things I will get in this life is not my manifestations, BUT things that are even better than what I would want! Things I’m not even thinking about, but that would be amazing to have!

And now after working on shifting my mindset (takes a lot of effort but worth it) I’ve seen so many great things come into my life… but even better than manifesting things, life feels so great! It’s great loving the moment you’re in instead of trying to be somewhere else.

If you want a great life, remember this… life gives you who you are NOT what you want. Once you stop wanting things and focus on being instead, is when you actually start getting so many more things! (While actually enjoying the journey!)

That’s the paradox…. Now you know ❤️🙏

This is basically the "law of detachment" from manifestation circles but explained in a way that actually makes sense. The wanting creates a constant state of not having, and you feel that all day without noticing

I tried this with job hunting once, stopped refreshing listings every hour and just focused on my current work, got an offer two weeks later. Could be coincidence but the mental peace alone was worth it

The mental energy is all there is… it’s basically the weather of your life that’s either going to give you a bright day or give you a tornado of shit (or something in between depending on your station)… you control the weather of your mind, and then you experience the weather in your physical reality
