βπ Μ. stop focusing on what you donβt want and start focusing on what you actually want
some of you might have seen this video on tiktok. i really liked the manifestation analogy in it, so therefore iβve typed it out for those who would like to read. βΉπΉ
a woman, racquel, asked her two kids what they wanted for breakfast. her oldest daughter responded with βtoast, eggs, a little bit of cheese, and two clementines (cuties).β
then she asked the younger one what she wanted for breakfast, and she responded with βi donβt want eggs.β
racquel mentioned that she didnβt have anything to do with that information. so what did she do then? she started making breakfast for the oldest.
she already knew exactly what she wanted, but even found two extra paw patrol yogurts left in the fridge. her daughterβs favorite character is chase, so she got her the chase-yoghurt along with some blueberries. she then added everything to the plate because she knows her daughter loves those things, as sheβs very verbal about the things she loves.
once her daughter got the plate, she responded with βthank you so much, this is even better than what i asked for.β
that however got her younger daughter into tears because she didnβt get breakfast. but racquel only responded with βi canβt get you breakfast because i donβt know what you want.β
her daughter repeated, once again, βi donβt want eggs!β
racquel didnβt exactly know what she wanted, but she knew all the things she didnβt want. one, she doesnβt like blueberries. two, she would never eat the paw patrol yogurt. three, she doesnβt want eggs. and because racquel didnβt know what her daughter wanted for breakfast, it was hard for her to give her the things that she actually wanted.
but with her other daughter, she knew exactly what she wanted. as already mentioned, sheβs very verbal about what it is that she likes, and also what brings her joy. going above and beyond for her is just so easy.
whereas when she tries to go above and beyond for her other daughter, itβs kind of like a gamble. a lot of the times sheβs just learning new things she doesnβt like.
the whole point is, this is how the universe and manifestation works. when you decide and know what you want, and keep putting that energy out into the universe, the universe will give you more of that. and even βoh she likes that, letβs give her more than that.β
racquel does that to her oldest daughter all the time, whereas with her youngest sheβs very hesitant because of the fact that she doesnβt really know what she likes. she just knows all the things she doesnβt like.
they actually tried out something new for the youngest, where every time she loves something she has to shout it out. they went to the park and her daughter asked for an ice cream. and because of this new strategy, she turned to her mom and said βi love strawberry ice cream.β
racquel didnβt even know that. sheβs been giving her vanilla for years because she doesnβt like chocolate. but that day she learned that she likes strawberry. from now on, all she will do is give her daughter more of what she likes!
and thatβs how her kids taught her about the universe.
βπ Μ. hearing this analogy made everything fall into place. it makes so much sense, at least to me!
