Well said! I've felt similar in regard to manifesting. In the past I thought it was sort of "New Age mumbo jumbo" and I still feel like some things may not be possible to manifest and that we have to work within whatever the laws of reality are, however I don't know for sure since I can't prove it either way and I do feel like taking real physical action is crucial.
One thing that I've heard recently in videos and from certain people is that it is helpful to try to feel like you already have whatever it is you want so that you're not coming from a place of lack and you're sort of "matching that frequency", that seems like helpful advice! Yet, still a bit challenging to do and also I have to wonder what the limits are? Either way I think it's helpful to believe and work towards whatever it is one wants because if someone doesn't believe and doesn't work towards such then that makes it even more difficult if not impossible!
