Do you know how powerful your thoughts really are? Are you fully aware that these thoughts, all 50,000 per day, are singularly the most powerful influences on everything that happens to you in your life? Your thoughts are the reason you have attracted the people you know, the house you live in, and the car you drive. In fact, the sum total of everyone’s thoughts is the very thing that shapes everything that exists, everything that has existed, and everything that will ever exist.
You may ask then, “If this is true, then shouldn’t it be possible to bring into existence anything we desire?” The short, simple answer is YES!
The Power of Deliberate Thought
It is through the power of deliberate thought that we can create. While thought alone has the power to bring tangible things like cars, houses, and boats, as well as intangible things like peace, harmony, and joy into existence, often this is not enough. Intention, or directed thinking and believing, is essential to creating powerful enough thoughts to manifest anything we want. However, you must also add two other ingredients.
Ingredient 1: Emotion
Firstly, your thoughts must be backed by emotion. The more powerful the emotion, the stronger the thought. It is essential to create within you the same feelings that you will have when you actually achieve your desire. You actually do this all the time, only in the opposite direction. For example, you think of what you are afraid may happen, and all of a sudden you feel frightened, tense, and may even start to exhibit some physiological symptoms such as sweating or shaking or just get the shivers. Begin to reverse this method of thinking. Think only of what you do want and conjure up the feelings associated with that. How will it feel to meet and marry that perfect person? How will it feel behind the wheel of that new Mercedes or in the kitchen of that new home?
Ingredient 2: Action
The second key ingredient of the three is action. It is necessary to be prepared to take some action. This is a key point that many personal development gurus leave out! The action that you need to take will not be strenuous or a toil; it will be enjoyable and feel right to you.
Each of us here on the planet plays their own special role in the complete operation of the Universe. We are all interconnected and interdependent. Your desires will almost always come through some form of action and through connection to other people.
The Unstoppable Force of Thought and Emotion
Your thoughts do have the power to completely change your life and circumstances. When thoughts are backed by emotion, they become an unstoppable force that will carry you to wherever you want to go in life. But you must be willing to take the steps towards your desires when these steps are presented to you. For example, thinking and believing you will meet your soulmate will bring you vast opportunities for meeting him or her, but you never will if you sit at home all day and do not venture outside. You may find that you begin to get asked to go to places more often or get invited to a place you have never been before. You may even accidentally meet old friends or develop new friendships. This is the Universe setting you on a path to your desires. Take that invitation. Even if it is something you have no desire to do or somewhere you do not want to go, you should accept the invitation. Who knows who you may meet or where you may end up!
The Formula for Manifestation
To recap, here are the three essential ingredients to manifesting your dreams:
- Thoughts Have Power: Understand that your thoughts shape your reality.
- Thoughts Backed by Strong Emotion: Amplify your thoughts with powerful emotions to make them an unstoppable force.
- Action: Take the necessary steps and actions towards your desires when opportunities arise.

Now that you know the formula, it’s time to put it into practice. Start thinking deliberately, feel the emotions associated with your desires, and take action when the Universe presents you with opportunities. By doing so, you can create the life of your dreams.
How to Start Creating Your Dream Life
Now that you understand the formula for manifesting your desires, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to put it into practice.
1. Identify Your Desires
First, take some time to clearly identify what you want in life. Be specific and write down your goals. Whether it’s a new career, a fulfilling relationship, better health, or financial abundance, knowing exactly what you want is the first step.
2. Practice Deliberate Thinking
Focus your thoughts on your desires. Spend time each day visualizing what you want. Imagine it as if it’s already happening. This isn’t just daydreaming; it’s deliberate thinking with intention.
3. Feel the Emotions
As you visualize your desires, immerse yourself in the emotions associated with achieving them. Feel the joy, excitement, and satisfaction as if you already have what you want. This emotional energy amplifies your thoughts and sends a powerful signal to the Universe.
4. Take Inspired Action
Be ready to take action when opportunities arise. Listen to your intuition and follow the signs the Universe sends you. Actions might include networking, attending events, learning new skills, or stepping out of your comfort zone. The key is to act on opportunities that align with your desires.
5. Stay Positive and Persistent
Maintain a positive mindset. There will be challenges and setbacks, but don’t let them deter you. Persistence is crucial. Keep your thoughts and emotions aligned with your desires, and continue taking steps towards them.
6. Gratitude and Acknowledgment
Express gratitude for what you already have and for what you’re manifesting. Gratitude raises your vibration and attracts more positive experiences. Acknowledge small successes along the way and celebrate your progress.
Practical Exercises
Morning Visualization: Spend 5-10 minutes each morning visualizing your goals. Picture yourself living your dream life and feel the emotions associated with it.
Affirmations: Use positive affirmations daily to reinforce your desires. For example, “I am attracting abundant opportunities,” or “I am living a life of joy and fulfillment.”
Gratitude Journal: Keep a journal where you write down things you are grateful for each day. This practice shifts your focus to the positive aspects of your life.
Action Plan: Create a plan with actionable steps towards your goals. Break them down into small, manageable tasks and commit to completing them.
