Most of your intentions won’t unfold exactly as planned, especially when it comes to manifestation or magnetism. You might get what you want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will lead you where you hoped to go.

Even if you receive precisely what you wished for.

That’s because change is often painful and rarely happens the way we expect.

Take wealth as an example. I remember a former student who worked tirelessly to manifest wealth. He succeeded — and quickly — but the wealth came to him because his father passed away, leaving him a significant inheritance.

As you can imagine, he didn’t feel good about it. Of course, this doesn’t mean such dramatic events will always accompany change, but it’s a possibility.

Many others have manifested wealth without experiencing anything so distressing.

What this teaches us is that welcoming change means being prepared for its unpredictability.

When you cultivate new energy within yourself, you must be ready for everything that energy might bring — the good, the bad, and the unexpected.

Often, it’s more than you asked for or anticipated.

This principle applies to all kinds of magnetism and energies. But fear of potential negative outcomes can hold us back, keeping us stuck.

Fear prevents growth and forward movement.

Yet life is inherently about movement and change. Good things will happen, and bad things will happen. Ideally, we’ll experience more good than bad, but change is inevitable.

So why not steer that change in the direction you choose? After all, every shift — whether smooth or challenging — offers opportunities for growth and evolution.
