Manifestation is Bullshit

I think people who believe in manifestation are actually more likely to succeed in things because they have an optimistic disposition and they are taking opportunities as they see them. It's basically impossible to believe in manifestation and not do anything in order to manifest what you would like to happen. Because even if you want to manifest something ridiculous like money magically appearing inside your bank account, you would have to open your bank account to know that (and you will probably be proactive in that). Optimistic disposition, looking for opportunities, being proactive about achieving an outcome, that's a mode of being that trickles down into everything you do (and you will do a lot in the course of a lifetime).

Totally agree, even though it is a bit delusional, it's still a more powerful way of living and will bear more fruits than being nihilstic or a victim simply because people who "manifest" are open minded, optimistic, and creating the possibility of something profound to happen. Victims and bitter people are closed off to any "magic" appearing.
