How Fast Will Your Desires Manifest With the Law of Attraction

Many people who study the Law of Attraction want to know how fast it works. There can be no one answer to that question. It is, in fact, a question that, while perfectly natural to ask, you are better off not asking. The reason for this is that the question is usually inspired by either impatience, doubt or a fear that what you desire will never manifest.

"Infinite patience brings instant results."

I heard this said by Wayne Dyer, but I'm not sure of who said it first. In any case, it's something worth meditating on. Since few of us have infinite patience, few of us see instant results. Infinite patience really means a complete faith that the universal Law of Attraction works all the time and for everyone, including you, so that there is no need to worry about how or when something will happen. All the same, since most of us are still working on our manifestation abilities, we can look at ways to speed up the manifestation process, even before we have "infinite patience."

If you want something to manifest quickly, you should focus on something that you can at least believe is possible. As you practice using the Law of Attraction, you will find that your ideas about what is possible expand all the time. And you definitely don't want to limit yourself by thinking too small. Yet you also must consider where you are right now. You don't want to defy your rational mind; you want to work in harmony with it, to bring it up to speed with your higher self. You can't do this by asking for something that seems too unrealistic by your present standards. Remember, once you have success with any kind of manifestation, you can keep going and get comfortable asking for bigger and better things. So, if you want more money, it's better to ask for and additional $1000 per month than an additional $10,000 per month (unless you are already making so much that an extra $10,000 doesn't seem like so much!).

Another thing that can speed up the manifestation process is to not be too preoccupied or obsessed with your desire. This goes with the quote about infinite patience. We might say, as the other side of the coin, that "A complete lack of patience brings no results." If you are thinking about your desire all the time, constantly looking for evidence that it's on the way, this shows that you are really worried about it and don't have faith that it is coming. You need to let go and allow the universe to bring it to you in the perfect way, at the perfect time.

Finally, you should remember that, from the point of view of the universe and your higher self, there is no time. What you want has already been created, as soon as you imagine it. While this can be hard to believe, it is true. It is only our lack of faith and impatience that makes it take a long time (from the point of view of our physical self) to get here. If you can really get yourself to believe this, that as soon as you clearly picture something it already exists, then you won't even be concerned about when it "really" manifests. You will be living in the reality that you have created, and the universe will bring it to you quickly.
