Shift From How to What: Unlocking the True Power of Manifestation

Many of us fall into the same old pattern when it comes to manifesting our desires. We tend to rely on our previous or current methods of goal setting and achievement rather than exploring new modalities, we have yet to experience successfully.

We immediately jump into problem-solving mode:

  • “How am I going to make this happen?”

  • “What steps do I need to take to get there?”

  • “What’s my detailed, logical plan?”

It makes sense — after all, as humans, we’re wired to lean on past experience.

If you want the girl, you need the car. But to get the car, you need the job. And to get the job… you need the car. This ridged method of A. Goal and B. Plan often result only in partial success at best. Usually because we are leaving out the other half is waiting to assist us—The Universe!

The Trap of Past Experience

When our rational mind is limited to past experience, we recycle the same patterns and limitations.

But manifestation is about reaching beyond what we currently are and what we currently know — tapping into something greater.

My Friend With the Three-Year Plan

I once had a friend who shared her big dream and her carefully mapped-out three-year plan to achieve it.

I listened quietly and wondered:

Why not envision the end result right now?
Why not flood herself with the emotional experience of already achieving it — and let the “method to the madness” unfold on its own?

Here’s the secret:
When you lock yourself into a “how,” you cut yourself off from the infinite “hows” you can’t even think of.

Your Subconscious: The Ultimate Co-Creator

If we’re truly connected to the Divine — God, Source, the Universe — then we’re part of a system holding every moment of our lives, every possibility, every natural law.

The subconscious is like a deep ocean, tuned to possibilities we can’t rationally plan out. Simply put—It knows and we do not. We just think we know.

When we obsess over the how, we’re basically saying,
“I don’t trust the infinite field of possibilities. I only trust what I know.”

That’s like trying to cross the ocean on inflatable raft because you’ve never heard of a boat. It may not be impossible—but there are easier ways awaiting to assist you.

Shift Your Energy: Focus on the What

Instead of spending energy obsessing over what you’re going to do, spend it watching for the opportunities that arise after you set your intention.

✅ Set your intention.
✅ Build a crystal-clear image of your desire already fulfilled.
✅ Pour your emotion into it.
✅ Then — watch, listen, trust.

Stay open, and the universe (or your deeper self) will guide you through paths you might never have imagined.

Final Thoughts

Are you ready to be a true co-creator with the universe?

Practice letting go of the control you think you need.

Focus on the what, and allow the how to reveal itself.

The opportunities will arise. Your only job is to stay open, alert, then act when they do.
