Learning how to manifest your desires, creating those things in your life that you want, is easy when you use the law of attraction and follow these basic guidelines.

Contrary to what the movie, "The Secret", may have led you to believe, manifesting is not magical, nor is it a practice limited to bearded gurus living in a cave atop a cloud covered mountain. You can manifest anything you desire. You can create any change in your life that you decide to create. All it takes is a commitment on your part to change. The universal laws will do the rest.

Here are some guidelines that will get you on the fast track to manifesting success.

The first, and definitely the most important step is to sit down and figure out exactly what you want. This may sound obvious, but this step is where many people get stuck and don't know it. Unless you have a crystal clear vision of what you want to manifest, the law of attraction guarantees that you will continue to struggle and meet with challenges.

You see, you always end up where you where heading... the problem is that often you don't pay attention to where you are heading. But when you DECIDE what you want, exactly what you want, you have no choice but to head in that direction. Having a clear destination in mind makes it easier to choose.

Take the time to spell out, in writing, the tiny details of your dream or goal. Know ahead of time what color it is, how big it is, what it feels like, what it smells like, what it tastes like... The more specific you are the better!

Once you know exactly what you want, now it is time to get to work. Yes, work! You didn't think you were going to create that wonderful new life while sitting on the couch dreaming, did you?

Now that you have decided what you want, your next step is to take inspired action and begin moving toward those dreams and goals. The key to mastering this part of the manifesting process is to be willing and open to opportunities around you that will help you. When you look at what you are willing or unwilling to do to reach your dreams, you might discover that you have been holding yourself back by your unwillingness to take a certain step or perform a certain action.

The solution to this problem lies in the first step - knowing what you want. If you know exactly what you want and how it fits into your life you will never be surprised at the choices you must make. Your choices are already made for you. You simply have to step up and take the action.

Manifesting your desires with the law of attraction is simply a matter of getting clear about what you want and then stepping boldly forward to claim your dream!
