You CAN use your power to manifest your desires.. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong> <\/a>to see how.<\/p>\n<p>I hear people say that they\u2019re wishing and hoping and praying (that was a song!) for someone or some outside circumstances to give them a break so they can manifest what they want. I hear it as lot from creatives. Musicians keep hoping that someone will hear their music and offer them a record or management deal. Artists, writers, musicians, etc. wish for someone to discover them but do nothing pro-active to make it happen. Many people are waiting for someone to give them their big break. The Law of Attraction doesn\u2019t respond well to that.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for your break can create negative emotions:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Frustration when nothing happens.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Disappointment that you\u2019ve waited so long for your break but nothing manifested.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Desperation as you wonder why God doesn\u2019t want to help you.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Hopelessness that makes you consider giving up.<\/p>\n<p>You need to give yourself your big break! If the Universe sees you waiting and hoping but not taking any action it won\u2019t believe you want it badly. If you do what you can to get the deal, the job, the romantic partner, the great apartment, your vibration reflects your desire more so it\u2019s easier to manifest. Being pro-active gets you into a good place to get your break.<\/p>\n<p>Your perfect opportunity will rarely come along if you do nothing to make it happen. It\u2019s up to you to do things that will increase you chances of getting the big break you want.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago I met a talented singer\/songwriter. He lamented that he\u2019d written over 150 songs in his studio in the basement of his home but couldn\u2019t get a break. I asked what he\u2019d been doing. He said he kept writing and recording more songs and saying prayers for getting a break. I explained that no one would find him in his basement and suggested he get out and network. He joined a songwriter group and made some good contacts. He loved interacting with the other songwriters. Instead of reflecting hopelessness, his vibration reflected his excitement about his music and eventually he got a publishing deal for some of his songs.<\/p>\n<p>You have to give yourself the best chance to manifest your dreams by putting in some work. Wishing and hoping and praying is not enough to create a good vibration for the Law of Attraction to pick up. If you wait for conditions to be perfect before taking action, you&#8217;ll be waiting a long time. It\u2019s rare that someone hands a break to someone who did nothing to attract it. Manifest your own breaks by doing what you can to make it happen. Then the Law of Attraction has some ammo to assist you!<\/p>\n<p>See all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<br \/>\n************<\/p>\n<p>Join <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Self-Love Movement\u2122!<\/strong><\/a> Take the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-pledge\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>31 Days of Self-Love Commitment<\/strong><\/a>&#8212;<strong>\u201cI commit to do my best to do something loving for myself, however big or small, for <strong><strong>the next 31 days<\/strong>.<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and get my book, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-book\" target=\"_blank\">How Do I Love Me?

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5470"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5471,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5470\/revisions\/5471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
