For example, if your intention was to create a new job, an action step might be to call someone in the industry you are interested in, for advice, lunch or simply to inquire about job openings. STEP FIVE – Watch your reality respond to your new self When you change what you think and feel (and believe) your world will change. It has to. That’s the way this universe works. But it won’t happen instantly—your reality takes time to materialize. You can, however, see little baby changes right away (within days or hours even). The problem for most people is they don’t recognize these “signs”. What might they look like? Well say you wanted to manifest a thousand dollars for a new couch you fell in love with. You wrote out your intentions and you did a quick technique such as the One Minute Manifestor. The next day the signs might be: •  our dentist office calls and says you Y overpaid your account and will be mailed a refund. •  ou receive an email from the store Y where you saw the couch and everything in the store is 10% off. • our best friend calls and tells you Y their brother just bought a pickup truck (delivery will no longer cost you $75) • You watch a show on TV about unexpected miracles •  ou go to dinner and the waiter comps Y your dessert Of course none of these signs are the whole dream, but they indicate the dream is coming. And that they happened right after the shift in your energy means if you keep up the same thoughts and feelings, your dream will manifest. STEP SIX – Get happy. Stay present. Feel as if you have the dream. It’s easy to stay excited about a dream for a little while. But how you live your life the rest of the day/week/month is still creating your reality. If you go back to your old thoughts and feelings of doubt, fear, lack and hopelessness, nothing (beyond a few signs) will really change. STEP SEVEN – Ask for help You don’t have to do it alone. This is a free will universe, so your unseen friends won’t do it for you, but if you ask, they will help. So make it easier on yourself—ask. The Map works. But, like any map, only if you follow it. So you decide. How important is it that you reach your dreams? If not so important, stay where you are, but don’t be surprised if you don’t get anywhere. However, if you are serious about creating those dreams, The Map can get you there. One step at a time. Read Online!
