I don’t agree with the advice often given by manifestation coaches — especially the idea of visualizing that you already have what you want. While it’s true that the brain can respond to imagined experiences as if they were real, your body knows otherwise. When what you're imagining doesn't match your lived reality, it can feel inauthentic. That disconnect creates resistance.
Desire itself is a powerful emotion. Especially when it arises naturally — without pressure, without forcing yourself to make it happen. Pure desire, the kind that surfaces authentically from within, sends a clear message to your brain: this matters. It marks the desire as important, and the brain begins to pay attention.
When the desire is genuine — something you truly want, not just something you think you should want — it carries real emotional energy. But getting to that level of clarity often takes self-reflection. You need to ask yourself what you really want, beneath the noise of expectation or habit.
Once you uncover that authentic desire, imagination follows naturally. You don’t need to force it. You start visualizing it not because someone told you to, but because you’re emotionally connected to it. The thoughts and images that arise from that connection become deeply rooted in your mind.
You don’t have to pretend you already have what you want. In fact, that kind of pretending can create emotional resistance — because deep down, your body knows the truth. And that resistance can dilute the powerful energy that came from simply allowing yourself to want something deeply and honestly.
To stay in this natural flow, it’s important to let yourself desire — without analysing it. Without asking:
“How will I make this happen?”
“What are the odds?”
“What should I be doing right now?”
None of that is needed in the moment of pure wanting.
Instead, just feel the desire. Savour it.
If what you want is a new, meaningful career — one that excites you, fulfills you, and gives you a sense of purpose — then just allow yourself to want that.
Not the details. Not the plan. Not the steps. Not the outcome. Just the feeling.
Let yourself fully want the joy and freedom that such a career would bring. You don’t need to force a detailed visualization. You don’t even need to know what the career looks like yet. You don’t have to pretend you already have it.
What matters is allowing yourself to truly want it — with honesty, with heart.
Don’t be afraid to say:
"I want a career that excites me!"
Let that desire rise up from your chest, your gut — wherever it lives in you. Let the emotion be strong. Let it be raw and real, without tying it to how you are going to make it happen.
Your only job in this moment is to fully feel it. To desire it, unapologetically. That’s what tells your brain: this is important. And the more often you allow yourself to connect with that authentic desire, the more your brain will begin to notice what aligns with it — unexpected signs, ideas, connections, and openings you might otherwise overlook.
So go ahead.
Feel free to desire — freely, fully, from the heart.
And then, live your life. Let it unfold.
