The Power of Objectives

Being successful at manifesting our desires through the Law of Attraction requires that we have an objective; a clear path about where we want to go, how we are going to get there, and what we are going to do once we arrive. Successful manifestation becomes so much easier with an objective that is clearly visualized and deeply desired.
Think of the pull of a small magnet. The force of its attraction increases the closer the magnet comes to the object it is attracting. This is also true in manifesting our desires through the Law of Attraction. Unless we give the object of our desire special attention, it will seem unimportant to the subconscious mind. We need an objective, something that our subconscious can tie into.
I read once that “genius is the power to visualize the objective.” To properly visualize our desire, it must be clearly defined and cemented into our subconscious mind. Our desire should become a focal point, like a star we steer our ship by. If we are constantly changing our objective, we will make very little progress.
As I explain in The Power of Attraction: "There is a vast difference between simply thinking and actually directing your thoughts consciously, systematically, and constructively. Thought is creative and will automatically correlate with the object of your thinking and bring it into manifestation."

The secret to the Law of Objectives is to learn to "pre-live" our desire. In other words, we determine exactly what it is we want to manifest, we write that objective down daily, and then we allow our minds to move into the future and live that desire as though it were present. How?​
​

• Mentally catalogue all the pleasure you will experience when your desire is granted or fulfilled.
• Think of how proud your family or friends will be when they see what you have accomplished.
• Think of the accolades you will receive for your achievement.
• Magnify the importance of each future accomplishment, achievement and desire obtained.

​One of the paramount differences between successful manifestation and failure to manifest is that successful people focus of the future objective whereas unsuccessful people focus on the present and see nothing significant or spectacular in the future. The temporary let-downs of the present will not stop someone whose vision and focus are held in the future.
I love hiking the mountains of Colorado but if I were to focus on every footstep it takes me to reach the summit, I would easily become discouraged and quit. When I keep my mind focused on the magnificent vista and panoramic view from the top, then I climb with pleasure.
Consider this: Until 1926 no woman had ever successfully swum across the English Channel. An automobile company offered a brand-new Buick convertible and $2500 in cash to the first woman who could accomplish this feat. A 19-year old American girl by the name of Gertrude Ederle wanted that automobile so badly that she determined to swim the English Channel. Part way across Gertrude’s strength gave out. She couldn’t go on. As she floated in the channel waiting to be taken out of the water, she closed her eyes and envisioned that beautiful Buick convertible. Visualizing the object of her desire gave her a surge of strength and she again began swimming. She did not stop until her feet reached the opposite shore. Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim the English Channel because she held a close image of her future objective.
All of our passions and desires are located in the subconscious mind. They are a part of the imagination. If we keep our imagination focused on the objective, we have power. If we concentrate on the obstacle, we have discouragement.
Napoleon once stated: “I see only the objective. The obstacle must give way.” Napoleon won his battles in his head before he ever won them on the battlefield. He saw the objective and everything else he ignored. We should practice in our own imaginations this same one-directional concentration with a clearly defined objective.
The imagination is an incredible tool. Allow it to run ahead, to step into the future to define what lies ahead. Don’t rely solely on your own perspective because it can be tricked and deceived when robbed of the panorama of what awaits in the future. Let your subconscious live with the object of your desire; make it as enticing as possible; light it up like a beacon on the seashore. Raise the image of your objective to a heroic size!
Gradually the subconscious magnet of the Law of Attraction will become stronger and stronger until the complete manifestation of your desire cannot be withheld from you.
