Sounds a bit far fetched I know, but there is some science to back it up. Now I don't claim to understand much of this scientific material they call physics however put simply where thoughts go energy flows, as in whatever you give energy to (thoughts, emotions, feelings, beliefs because that's all we are is a big ball of energy), you will get more of. So if you are able to train yourself to visualise the career you want, the house you want, the relationship you want, the bank balance you want and you can actually work towards believing that it is a reality for you then you can actually manifest it into your life.
The film while very powerful and motivating was criticised in many circles for being too focused on the acquisition of "stuff" eg wealth, material possessions and self indulgent desires. Many people, myself included believe that manifestation should also be a tool to be used with good intentions for the sake of mankind and the planet.
I use the skills of manifesting in this way often, if I hear of someone who has been having a difficult time eg sick children, unemployment and financial problems I will spend some time in meditation and send positive thoughts their way. If I focus on things in this way for long enough and with enough belief that my prayers (if you like) are working then often there will be a breakthrough in some way, shape or form.
If you have ever tried this or spent time consciously being aware of the effect your thoughts have on the world around you, then you will have probably noticed how bringing yourself into conscious awareness, that more often than not the universe will flow in a positive direction for you or bring things to you in an unexpected way.
An example I have around this is many years ago after we first moved to the coast from the farm and I started to learn about manifestation, I wanted to test the theory so I decided that I would put a sign on the door of our fridge that simply read $100,000. At the time my husband had a maintenance man job and was earning around $70,000 per year. I was unemployed having moved without any job prospects, so needless to say money was tight with 3 kids and rent to pay. For many months I would look at the fridge sign everyday and I would work on actually envisioning the money in the bank and how that would feel (creating the actual physiologic response to what it would feel like having already obtained your dreams is a big part of making it all work) I would practice getting the butterflies in my tummy and the excited feeling of having just won lotto. Of course at this point your logical brain is trying to persuade you to be rational, you get the usual voices saying " but how are you going to get $100,000 if you don't even buy lotto tickets" you have to build you mental muscle around shutting down this doubtful belief and just find a way to believe it to your core. It takes some practice so you have to be patient with yourself.
Needless to say a year later, my husband decided it was time to ask his employer for a pay rise. He hesitantly approached the boss one day, armed with all the reasons why he felt that his pay should be increased by $5000-10,000 (he felt that this might be a bit bold) but I encouraged him to go for it, he didn't have anything to lose, I knew he was a commodity and that he was doing a great job so he wasn't about to get shafted over asking for a pay rise.
He came home that evening to tell me that not only was he getting a pay rise but that his boss had given him a promotion which attracted a new salary of $100,000. Those numbers were our new reality!
That's just one of the examples I have but there are heaps. It just seems that when you are in need the universe just shows up in the most miraculous ways, if you believe its possible.
The photo I have posted on my blog is of my vision board. A vision board is a tool you can use to start manifesting in a visual way. Because I am a visual person I found this activity very fulfilling and lots of fun to do. Basically you decide what you want in your life and you go and find words and pictures that authentically and organically depict this. Its a very personal thing to do and I find it quite a therapeutic activity. There is no right or wrong way to do it, I found just getting engrossed in the process the end result just evolves without you even having to plan the outcome too much, in other words don't over think it and just let you inner voice guide you.
A key learning I have picked up in my life coaching course is " if you can language it you can have it" so building a vision board is like giving words or life to your inner most desires. The first vision board I ever made (the one in the photo) is attached to the wall in my toilet (not a very glamorous thought I know) but its a place I go several times a day and sit only for a short time but in that time, I look at all the pictures and the associated words and I feel the emotions attached to the images. Interestingly enough as you can see in the pictures, my inner most desires reflect a longing for a more simply life. nature and food, animals and growth, comfort and the warmth of a very natural existence. Its funny actually because it seems as though my life is starting to reflect the pictures you see and take shape in that very way. I am very excited to see where the universe will lead me from this point, I am open and willing and very much believe that nothing is impossible.
