In all my previous articles in this column I have highlighted how we can evolve or change the way we behave by changing our current mindset to our desired mindset. We have spoken about various approaches and how we can improve ourselves. If you look at my previous article as an example, it talks about the ‘Re-Growth Mindset’. Going even beyond the most recommended mindset by management gurus and even the Harvard Business School – the Growth Mindset. But there is one critical area which is beyond our efforts. Some call it destiny, some call it luck. Which is why despite our evolved mindset and best in class efforts things just do not work out. Which is why developing our Spiritual Quotient- SQ is important. The Mindset to Manifest is actually in this direction.
The original definition of “manifest” is to make something clear or evident. For example, “He manifested his approval with a hearty laugh” means he clearly showed his approval. The newer, popular definition, also highlighted by Cambridge Dictionary, describes manifestation as the process of imagining achieving something you want, believing that doing so will make it more likely to happen. (Source- internet research). In today’s environment where SQ (Spiritual Quotient) and EQ (Emotional Quotient) have become key to be successful, today’s article is curated to the newer and popular definition of manifestation as the process of imagining achieving something you want, believing that doing so will make it more likely to happen.
Understanding Manifestation well
Manifestation is an inner determination and a will power where you sharp focus on your dreams and goals in a manner that you actually achieve what you manifest. Remember, this is not a magic wand or some mumbo jumbo but begins by having a deep confidence in your abilities and belief in your capabilities. Also persistence as well as genuineness to really achieve what you look for. Manifestation actually helps you focus your complete energy and actions towards achieving you goals and dreams in any life sphere. Now some basic steps to achieve the mindset to manifest-
Curate your dream goals
Ensure that your dream goals are achievable. This is actually the starting point. Even rockets that have landed on the moon or mars create their plans of feasibility before they even dream of taking off. Therefore curate your dream goals based on the practicality of achieving them. Otherwise you can set yourself up for failure. Once you have curated realistic dream goals, set up your vision board or your plan to reach your goals. This effort makes your dream goals tangible and easier to achieve. When you wake up every morning picturising your goals helps you to plan what you can do on that day towards achieving these dream goals.
Positive thinking is your superpower
There are no guarantees that you will achieve your dream goals as the mindset to manifest is not magic. However positive thinking makes the impossible possible. Deliberate positive thinking opens up doors and windows of the mind that you become clear minded to see beyond doubts and negativity. It has been established that powerful positive thinking works. When you make positive statements about your dream goals and how you will achieve them, it builds your confidence and beliefs to achieve them. Besides you make a public commitment to achieve them where you generate support and good wishes.
Adopt a ‘Change Guru’ – track your progress
When I suggest that you adopt a ‘Change Guru’ the first qualification that this person must have is genuine interest in your welfare and also be mature to guide you in the right direction if you take a wrong turn. Be frank and open with this resource who is key to achieve your dream goals. Share your personal SWOT with your Change Guru. Together keep close track of your progress, timely corrective action helps a big deal.
