I just wanted to share a few thoughts.
Often when things don't manifest / turn out as expected, there's temptation just to give up. What a lot of people don't realise is, that in order for the good to flow through, the bad has to be shifted out first. An example: you might think your job is perfect but it's really not ... if you stopped ignoring the warning signs and red flags then you'd see that it's not meant for your path. As a way of the universe correcting this for you, you may suddenly find that you're facing redundancy or being let go due to some other reason. The trick - and it's very hard to do - is to remember that this happening has been in your best interests (in a, 'one door closes, another door opens' sort of way).
If you're trying to manifest a certain person and it's not coming through, then it's probably not meant for your greater good. They may not necessarily be bad for you, but they won't teach you anything - and everyone and thing you come into contact is meant to teach you something and/or lead to something that is for your greater good.
You also need to remove obstacles in your life that are preventing you living the best life and version of yourself. An example: I was dealing with a health specialist who is local ... I chose her as I wanted to support a local, independent operator, but also because she is a very good friend of my GP and came highly recommended. However, after seeing this woman for my appointments I'd always walk away with a weird feeling I couldn't shake. If I asked her about alternatives to what she was recommending (she only recommended one type of something), she'd shut me down and talk down to me. The 'thing' she sold me left me frustrated as it didn't do what I needed it to. I decided to seek a second opinion and went to a competitor a couple of towns across who has been nothing short of amazing - she's given me several options, and always takes the time to explain things. She's given me several 'things' to trial and she's also a lot more affordable! As a result, I now have what I need, and it does what I need it to do. My point here, is that you don't have to put up with subpar options - have the confidence to identify that something isn't working out, and seek alternatives.
I work in a creative industry and the company for whom I work is going through some weird changes at the moment ... I have already decided that I'll be leaving soon (I haven't given notice as yet); just knowing that I'm putting my intentions into practice on the quiet (things are going on in the background), keeps me motivated and focused. Stuff that is occurring in the company due to one bad egg isn't getting to me as much as it would if I felt working there was the only option I had.
Maintaining a high vibration is hard to do in these crazy times, but it's also the secret sauce for successful manifestation. If you're easily affected by negative news and worry about what's going on in the world, switch off from social media and mainstream TV.
