The problem with “letting go of the how”

If you’ve done any research into manifesting already, you’ve surely heard “the how is not your job.”

And while it has some great wisdom, many people come to a really unhelpful conclusion that actually kills your manifestation.

You probably don’t want to fall into this trap yourself. So let’s have a look at the problem with this concept, and how to go about it right.

What does it mean to “let go of the how”?

Let’s say you want to manifest a Ferrari. Now, you don’t currently have the money for it, or a home with a parking spot.

So you might wonder how you’re supposed to get a Ferrari… it might even seem impossible.

This is where “letting go of the how” comes in. It’s meant to help you hold faith for your dream coming true, and believe it is possible for you, even if you don’t see a clear path to achieving it yet.

Which is so true. Just think about the goals you have already achieved in your life. Could you have predicted all the things that happened on your way to achieving it?

You can’t see the entire path to the destination from the starting point. So just because you don’t know how you’re going to get somewhere, doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

The belief “the how is not your job” is meant for you to keep your faith high and not give up on your dream.

The sneaky problem with “the how is not your job”

So you’ve got your desire for a Ferrari, and you’ve got your unwavering faith that you’re going to have one, even though you have no clue how.

And here’s where the problem comes in.

Because what do many people do now?

… Nothing.

“I have no clue how I’m going to get a Ferrari, but that’s okay, I don’t have to think about it or do anything or put any effort in at all actually, because the how is not my job, the universe will do everything for me and all I have to do is sit here and believe.”

I mean, it’s technically possible for someone to pull up into your driveway with a Ferrari and leave it there as a gift, fully paid for and signed over to your name…

But how long do you think you’ll be waiting before that happens?

Letting go of the “how” doesn’t mean you don’t need to have any involvement in your manifestations at all.

On the contrary. It’s meant to help you see your goals as possible, which should encourage you to take some — any — sort of action.

The right way to manifest without worrying about the how

Here’s the paradox of this concept:

The “how” isn’t your job, in the sense that you don’t need to see every step of how you’re going to get what you want from the beginning.

But the “how” also IS your job, in the sense that you are the one who has to take action to get to your goal.

So there are two answers to this question:

“How am I going to get this goal?”

“By doing something about it.”

“And how should I do something about it?”

“I will take whatever action I can think of right now — and also stay open to new insights and ideas that come to me.”

This is how you achieve the best balane between “making things happen” and “letting things happen” — using both the laws of the 3D world and the magic of the universe.

How to apply it:

Got your goal?

Know that it’s absolutely possible for it to come true, even if you don’t see the entire path yet.

But you still gotta take action. Show the universe you’re serious, give something before you expect to get.

Take whatever action you can think of that will bring you a little closer to your goals.

And stay open and receptive to new ideas and insights.

I’d love to hear from you too — what insights or guidance did you receive about the “how” of one of your manifestations?
