Thoughts become things, as explained by Mike Dooley in this good presentation of the concepts:

I’d like for the reader to pay attention to one detail: it takes time for reality to manifest, and that’s a good thing! That time is called “time buffer“, and protects our experience in the physical world.

In fact, our mind changes all the time and the time buffer allows us to live in a somewhat stable world. If things manifested immediately as we think them, we would be in trouble and we wouldn’t be able to freely think. Nothing would stay still. It would be like a strange confusing dream, completely under the immediate influence of our mind.

The time it takes for thoughts to become reality is the time that it takes for these thoughts to enter our memory as dominant, to be picked up by the super-conscious, and finally for the law of attraction machine to be set in motion and create the conditions to manifest that reality in a manner that keeps our reality experience stable.

When you visualize and desire, keep doing it until something happens. That “something” is the first sign that the Law of Attraction has been working for you in the direction of your desires. Take any small sign and opportunity that present in front of you to go toward the realization of your desires, and keep reinforcing these desires. It might take time, but it will happen. Every time!

I like it, stumble it!
