Stop Manifesting and Start Doing

Stop Manifesting and Start Doing

Welcome to "Staying Relevant with Mitchell Levy," your weekly newsletter dedicated to helping you navigate the ever-changing landscape of the modern world. Every week, we'll delve into the strategies, practices, and insights that empower you to adapt, evolve, and thrive amidst disruption.

Let’s talk about that vision board collecting dust in your living room or the affirmations echoing in your mind as you sip your morning coffee. Sure, manifesting abundance is trendy, but here’s the hard truth—manifestation without action is like expecting a plant to grow without sunlight. For 2025, it’s time to ditch the “wish and wait” strategy and embrace a new mantra: clarity and execution.

The Manifestation Trap

Manifestation culture often promises us the world without emphasizing the work it takes to get there. Visualizing success is a powerful tool, but when it stops at pretty pictures and good vibes, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Abundance doesn’t knock on the door of the passive; it rewards the intentional.

Here are the biggest pitfalls of the manifestation trap:

  • The Comfort of Daydreaming: It’s easier to imagine a better future than to take the uncomfortable steps needed to achieve it.
  • The “Energy” Excuse: Some believe that projecting the right energy is enough, forgetting that action is the true amplifier of success.
  • Blurry Goals: Manifestation often lacks the specificity needed to create a roadmap. “I want to be successful” is meaningless without defining what success looks like for you.
  • The Passive Participant Mindset: Waiting for the universe to deliver keeps you from taking ownership of your journey.
  • Ignoring Hard Work: Manifestation can overshadow the value of effort, persistence, and resilience in overcoming obstacles.

Manifestation vs. Clarity in Action

Let’s be clear: visualization and manifestation can complement your journey, but they’re tools—not solutions. Instead of hoping for success, you’re building it brick by brick with intentionality. Instead of saying, “I will be rich,” you’re asking, “How can I create value today that brings me closer to financial freedom?”

Your Challenge

Here’s the challenge for 2025: Stop manifesting in a vacuum. Combine your dreams with decisive action. Remember, abundance isn’t about wishing for the life you want. It’s about designing it, owning it, and unapologetically going after it. So, what’s it going to be—manifesting or doing? Make 2025 the year you choose clarity, and watch as the universe finally decides to work with you, not for you.

I can definitely relate with what you are saying. I've set goals, written them down, speak them aloud, visualize the result, had accountability partners, set rewards and penalties, read lots of books, etc, etc. No action = no results. One interesting idea I heard told. "If I put a gun to your son's head and will pull the trigger if you didn't reach your goal, what are you doing to do?" A bit melodramatic, but can stimulate action.
