Manifestation or the laws of attraction may be a concept you're familiar with. The process was the focus of a 2006 bestselling book, The Secret, which sold more than 30 million copies and it’s something that thought leaders, including Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Gabrielle Bernstein, Iyanla Vanzant, and Oprah, have spoken about. (For the record, they all agree that you really can manifest things.)
Keep in mind: It doesn't happen overnight. Although manifesting is about turning your dreams into reality, it does require you to take proactive steps toward whatever it is you desire. You shouldn’t expect it to happen instantly but even though it's a lengthy process, that time is a small price to pay for a (hopefully) profound impact on your life.
In our "The Life You Want" planner which is a tool that can help with goal-setting and intentional living Oprah writes, "Having a vision creates a path for the future. It focuses you and allows for clarity moving forward." In 2015, she also talked to LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner about manifestation. "You control a lot by your thoughts," Oprah said. "When I started to figure that out...I was like, What else can I do? What else can I manifest? Because I have seen it work. I have seen it happen over and over again."
