The Law of Attraction Requires Time

The Law of Attraction is a mainstream phenomenon thanks to the popularity of the movie The Secret. The Law of Attraction is a universal law that grants us whatever we desire. Sounds simple enough, but sometimes we dont get what we want when we want it.

For example, say you desire a new sports car. You tell the Universe you want the car on Tuesday the 13th. However, the car doesnt manifest. Now you ask questions. Why didnt the Universe grant my desire? Did I ask for the wrong thing? Does the Law of Attraction really work?

Well, the Law of Attraction does work. The Universe does grant our desires. However, the Law of Attraction is still a process. The crucial link between a desire and the manifestation of that desire is time. It may take days, weeks, months or even years before you get what you want.

The time factor serves 3 important functions as it relates to the Law of Attraction:

1. Time to Prepare
The time between dream and manifestation is a preparation period. Different dreams require different levels of preparation. Whether you desire a career change, a car, a relationship or a business, all dreams come with their own unique responsibilities. Are you ready for the responsibility?

You may need time to grow and mature. You may need to grow in terms of character, talents, gifts, or skills.

This is why you can ask for job opportunity, and one appears the next day. Yet you may desire a relationship that takes 3 years to manifest.

The Universe is an all-knowing source. So it takes into account who you are, where you are, and what you need to do to get ready for the manifestation of your dream.

2. Time to Orchestrate the Manifestation
Your dream is never just about you. We are all interconnected beings. What you want affects others and vice versa.

There are unforeseen variables that are instrumental in helping you manifest your dream. So, in bringing your dream to manifestation, the Universe must orchestrate a myriad of events, people and resources.

3. Time to Change Your Mind
Lets face it, we do change our minds. What you want today may not be what you want tomorrow. So you always have the time to rethink or revise your dreams. Rethinking your dream helps you gain clarity as to what it is you really want.

So be patient. Dont rush the process. Most importantly, dont lose faith in your dream.

Think of time as a dream manifestation tool. So use that time wisely. You dont have to sit around waiting for something to happen. Live your life as if your dream has already manifested.
