I set goals. I immediately begin to create a plan on how to achieve them. I pray specifically about each goal until I succeed.
I recently began to start manifestating my goals by stating them. When you speak positive words into existence, you're putting out positive energy into the universe.
Positive and negative energy are flowing from within us and around us; coming from objects and people.
Ultimately, for me, I don't just pray then leave things in God's hands. I believe he wants me to get up, go after my goals, and implement my plans to succeed! I do feel he has his plans for all aspects of my life, and part of those plans are for me to physically make things happen.
I've never expected, prayed, or hoped anything I desire will magically, suddenly be handed to me overnight! Prayer for me is powerful, but I oftentimes speak success into my future I'm a way of manifestation; that's my way of speaking positive things into existence!
If it's for me good or bad it'll happen, but it's just not my way to sit back and wish upon a star! Some things are so unbelievable, I'll probably never fully understand why they happened, but mainly I just feel it wasn't, or it was just in God's plan for me; either way I try to just accept things and move forward.
