Nobody knows what it involves as well as you do because everyone is different. What works for you might not work for someone else, and the time it takes for something you\u2019ve sought to attract to manifest can vary massively.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal level, one anecdote I always go back to, and you\u2019ll hear more about if you explore <a href=\"https:\/\/widibi.com\/\">Widibi<\/a>, involves parking spaces. It\u2019s not just me either. If in doubt \u2013 try parking spaces to prove to yourself whether or not the law of attraction works!<\/p>\n<p>One of the first times I ever encountered the law of attraction was when a family member told me about their experience with parking spaces. I was in the car with them at the time, and we ended up parking right outside the venue we visited. I was impressed and made a point of saying so. They were dismissive, almost like they expected to have got that parking spot.<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, they had! More importantly, they hadn\u2019t even thought to ask. Prime parking had become as expected as the sun rising, and they never thought about it again. They <em>wanted it,<\/em> and <em>they believed<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What does that have to do with the time it takes for the law of attraction to work? Well, this wasn\u2019t their first time. It had actually been years since they first asked for a prime parking spot. It was delivered quickly. It went from being a humble request to being expected.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Law-of-Attraction-Might-Work-Right-Away\"><\/span>The Law of Attraction Might Work Right Away<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Following that experience, I decided to put that anecdote into practice. Next time I needed a parking spot, I asked for the best one available. Lo and behold, I parked right by the doors of the shop. Funnily enough, that\u2019s the first time I tried to implement the law of attraction. It didn\u2019t take long for me to become a believer.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, when my partner, who doesn\u2019t practice the technique as much as I do, goes to the shops, she doesn\u2019t get any special assistance. Sometimes she comes across the perfect space\u2014most of the time, she doesn\u2019t. In the latter cases, she\u2019ll often come home and lament the fact that I wasn\u2019t with her!<\/p>\n<p>I had an advantage here. It\u2019s a lot easier to believe something when you\u2019ve seen it for yourself. As I\u2019ll discuss momentarily, you really need to believe that your request is in processing, even if it doesn\u2019t appear immediately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Same-Day-Delivery-or-a-Several-Year-Backorder\"><\/span>Same-Day Delivery or a Several-Year Backorder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, how long does it take for the law of attraction to work?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it could be almost instantaneous. It could take years. As my favourite vision board speaker would attest, vision boards don\u2019t come with an expiry date. While the team discuss vision boards elsewhere, I will say that the same applies here.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the law of attraction shares less in common with ordering from a website or catalogue. It\u2019s impossible to tell when something specific you\u2019ve requested will come to you.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve written in the past that you might have a Ferrari on your list. However, while not impossible, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019d request it before bed one evening and wake up the following morning with it on your driveway.<\/p>\n<p>Without going too in-depth in this article, you need to ask yourself how well-positioned you are to take delivery of your order.<\/p>\n<p>At the most extreme end of the spectrum, you might be unemployed and without a driving licence. The universe has a lot to do to make your Ferrari order happen. Conversely, if you already have a Lamborghini and a Rolls Royce out front, the universe has less sorting out to do in order to fulfil your request.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to the online delivery analogy, you must consider the challenges faced by the universe in making a delivery.<\/p>\n<p>I used to live relatively close to an Amazon fulfilment centre. My \u2018reward\u2019 was the availability of Prime Now. I could browse everything that warehouse had in stock and have it delivered within two hours.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, I moved house. In the process, I found myself several miles further from the warehouse than I had been previously. Through a combination of logistics, costs and various other factors, orders of the same items would now take longer \u2013 they wouldn\u2019t even arrive on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>Critically, my orders would still arrive. However, they wouldn\u2019t be quite as fast. By moving house, I actively did something to make it more difficult for something to reach me. Amazon still works diligently to get my orders to me in a timely manner, but it takes a bit more work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arranging-Circumstances\"><\/span>Arranging Circumstances<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the above analogy, I complicated the delivery process by moving house. Admittedly, I wasn\u2019t going to stay where I was just for Prime Now, especially when everything else about the move represents a marked improvement!<\/p>\n<p>However, the analogy makes sense and rings true. Think of where you are in your life. Don\u2019t be afraid to dream big, but you shouldn\u2019t be scared to wait either.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve just joined a company as an intern but have your eyes on the CEO role, the universe has to pull some strings. It will identify what needs to happen to fulfil that request. It may require specific qualifications and the universe will nudge you toward gaining them.<\/p>\n<p>It may require several years of experience and rising through the ranks. Again, the universe will do what it can, but sometimes there\u2019s no substitute for waiting it out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-Long-Does-It-Take-for-the-Law-of-Attraction-to-Work-if-Youre-in-a-Rush\"><\/span>How Long Does It Take for the Law of Attraction to Work if You\u2019re in a Rush?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some say that you have no influence over how long the universe will take to manifest your request. I disagree. As with most people, more manageable tasks are completed willingly and quickly. Those that take more time are always susceptible to delays.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main cases where you might be in a rush.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You-Want-to-See-if-the-Law-of-Attraction-Works\"><\/span>You Want to See if the Law of Attraction Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s perfectly fine to be sceptical. As I mentioned earlier, I had an advantage when I started using the law of attraction as I\u2019d already seen it used to great success. I can completely understand why someone else may be less confident.<\/p>\n<p>The key here is to set the universe a relatively simple task. Parking spaces are a fantastic example. Putting out to the universe what you\u2019d like for dinner and finding that someone else suggests eating just that is another excellent example.<\/p>\n<p>Try to think of something you\u2019d like and believe that it will happen. It shouldn\u2019t take long at all as long as you remember the underlying principles of belief and gratitude.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Youre-Desperate-for-Something-to-Happen\"><\/span>You\u2019re Desperate for Something to Happen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, this option isn\u2019t quite as simple. If you\u2019re desperate for something, either through need or greed, it\u2019s impossible for your emotions to be positive. If you desperately need money to pay a bill, your request of the universe will be clouded by the worry and negativity of not having the money already.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick-Manifestation-with-the-Law-of-Attraction\"><\/span>Quick Manifestation with the Law of Attraction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re new to the law of attraction, I\u2019d suggest focusing on the small wins to start with. Instant gratification builds confidence and belief and sets you up perfectly to tackle more significant tasks. Go for the parking space, or request a trip to your favourite restaurant. It\u2019s usually a good idea not to go all-in on a lottery win right from the outset \u2013 not least because the universe has to jump through so many hoops that you\u2019ll probably lose interest!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-Long-Does-It-Take-for-the-Law-of-Attraction-to-Work-%E2%80%93-In-Summary\"><\/span>How Long Does It Take for the Law of Attraction to Work? \u2013 In Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No matter what you do, you\u2019re always attracting something. How you carry yourself, the gratitude you show for what you receive, and numerous other factors determine what comes along and when.<\/p>\n<p>The chances are that if you\u2019re here at Widibi, you\u2019re here for the right reasons. You want a positive impact on your life from the law of attraction. Seeking out information is a positive step in its own right.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure of the power of the law of attraction, that\u2019s absolutely fine. However, if you can force yourself to believe, and you give the universe an easy job to start off with, you\u2019ll see your hopes and dreams manifesting far sooner than you might have thought.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ll find my fellow contributors and I often comparing the law of attraction to a delivery service.
