Part of the beauty of having dreams and visions is seeing all the unexpected ways they manifest.

Walking in the direction of them also helps us grow into the person we need to become to make them happen, the person we need to be to live those dreams.

Manifestation starts with a vision, and visualization differs from setting goals.

Goals are something we set for the future. A goal is a future event, something we see for ourselves or others further ahead.

But a vision already exists. So, when we visualize, we are already living that vision; we experience it now.

When you manifest as your true self(see my post on conscious manifestation), you allow a vision to emerge from within instead of coming up with an idea about what to manifest.

When you receive the vision, it is already a reality but has yet to manifest in the physical world.

Depending on how “big” the vision is, what may take time is manifesting it in physical reality.

The physical reality is not always up to speed with what exists inside you. So, you need to take steps to make it happen.

You may need to do inner work that frees you from old beliefs that are in the way. You may also feel called to create something, which can take time.

But as you walk toward your vision, things that align with it usually start to appear, and the steps to take become clearer.

Sometimes you may realize that you need to make a bigger change to manifest your vision, one that you are not ready to make at the moment.

If so, you need to do something to bridge the gap between where you are today and where you want to go. So sometimes, there are things we need to do on our way before we can take that bigger step.

When I started to receive my life mission many years ago (which I am still working on and will continue to work on throughout my life), my first thought was, “No, that can’t be me.” 

I also became scared and pushed it away initially because it seemed too far away from my reality and the life I was living.

In a way, I was right. I wasn’t yet that person in the physical world, and what I was bringing into the world wasn’t yet manifested. I had to create it myself while being guided by the vision.

As I have been doing so, I have been growing into the person ready to take some of the bigger steps I envisioned all those years ago.

So, if you keep moving toward your dream, you can manifest smaller steps that move you in the direction of that larger vision.

And one day, you may wake up and realize you are living what you have envisioned.

Or that you are the person you envisioned years ago and ready to manifest your bigger dream.

I wish you all the best on your manifestation journey!
