I posted a few days ago on here talking about how I was losing my faith in the LOA. I got some great advice that I hadn't even started on yet. This meant I was practically in that same state. Today, something happened that made me regain my faith. Maybe a week before that post, I was spiralling. I loosely told myself that I would restart my manifestation journey to regain my faith by manifesting "smaller" things. I said "I keep seeing unintentionally hearts everywhere" a couple of times that one day and that was it. I literally forgot about it until now. I was eating the midnight snack I made for myself and saw this one nugget. Maybe it's confirmation bias but that looks like an unintentional heart doesn't it? This chicken nugget of faith and hope just gave me the motivation I need to continue in my journey of conscious manifestation and I hope it does to someone else too.

(For context) Whenever I am trying to manifest something, I will affirm and visualise that I already have that thing. I will do this for about 2 days straight but once I don't see any progress, limiting beliefs start to come in. I'll combat them with affirmations like "The 4D is the only true reality" but by the end of the week, I haven't manifested anything and I spiral. After that, I will loosely affirm when I think about it but don't make a conscious effort to be in the state of having.

The only time I have manifested my desires is when I have detached. But the only time this detachment state of me completely not caring about the outcome comes is when I have given up. For example, for 3 years, I have been searching for a part time job. I was extremely consistent as I would affirm "I have the perfect job" every time I would send an application. I was only ever met with rejection. IDK if it was birds before land but all of my friends were easily getting jobs because they knew the right people or applied at the right time. I'm only human and can only take so much rejection. I eventually gave up and didn't care whether or not I got the job. To me, this also meant that I would forget about the concept of manifestation as a whole as it was obviously not working for me. As a last ditch effort, I messaged one of the employers that rejected me and was offered a position.

The problem I am having now is that I feel like it wasn't me manifesting. I just happened to ask at the right time. Especially considering I was affirming for the "perfect job" and this definitely not it. This mixed in with all of my other desires that haven't manifested, just makes me lose faith in the LOA. Of course, my method of manifestation could do with some alterations but I feel that if the law is "Whatever you assume to be true, is true" then why does it require me to completely give up or even detach at all before I can manifest it? Maybe I am missing something that someone else can help me understand.
