There is an important step in manifesting hearts desire and it usually comes when you are exhausted and you've tried everything. The desire isn't leaving you but no matter what you do, it isn't what you experience as your reality. This is when you are advised (by most teachers of manifesting) to "let it go." It's is good advice, but a bit misguided. You can't REALLY let go of your true deep desire, but what you can do is let go waiting for it to happen exactly the way you imagine it, to start finding ways in your life now to make the energy of that desire real. It is like saying to yourself: "I still want that perfect picture, but whatever I was waiting to do or be because of it doesn't have to wait. I can give myself what I want most. I can create a lot with what is available to me now." First, this shifts your energy and focus entirely to the present AND it makes you claim complete agency of your life. This activates creative energy even more. At first, it may feel like settling, but you are not. You can remain completely open to things unfolding in ways your mind can't predict: because YOU OWN the process of making your life happen, you will start getting ideas, "why not?" moments will begin occurring to you and you may even see where you were getting in your own way before. PUT ENERGY over the picture in your mind. The energy of I can create what I want FROM my desire in my life now in a way that is accessible to me.
