You want to see signs that your dream is manifesting…
You want signs that the Law of Attraction is working for you…
You want the comfort of knowing that what you want is coming…
But what if these manifesting signs aren't telling you what you think they are…
What if in your desire to see manifesting signs you're actually slowing down the Law of Attraction process?
You see, the Law of Attraction brings you what you focus on. The things you focus on the most are the things you will manifest.
So if you're putting all of your energy and attention into seeing signs, what you're telling the Law of Attraction to bring you is signs. That's it! Nothing more – just signs!
Your search for more signs only creates more signs. These signs aren't telling you that your desire is on its way. They're simply signs (things) that you have manifested.
Congratulations! You're even better at manifesting than you ever thought…it's just not quite what you were trying to manifest.
But those aren't the only signs manifesting…
The same goes for when you tell the Universe to show you butterflies/red birds/Ferraris/horses as a sign that your desire is manifesting. You then start actively looking for your sign.
Of course you're going to see them!
You're consciously manifesting butterflies/red birds… You're putting your energy and focus into creating your “sign”, but the sign may not mean what you think it does. It could simply mean that you manifested butterflies/red birds/you name it.
You're using the Law of Attraction to manifest signs, not your desires.
And therein lies the problem…
When you need to see some kind of proof that the Law of Attraction is working, you're actually sending out a vibration that is not in alignment with creating your desire. You're working against yourself, pushing your desire away!
When you want to see signs that what you want is coming to you, it's an indication that you're not trusting that it is already yours. There's some underlying fear or doubt that needs to be cleared up.
It's a sign of resistance or other limiting beliefs.
You CAN ask the Universe for a sign that your manifesting your goal. You can even ask for a specific sign.
But just like any time you use the Law of Attraction, you want to ask and let go.
If you can't let go, work on overcoming resistance and limiting beliefs.
If you don't, you may start manifesting signs, not your desires.
OMG, I was just thinking this the other day!
I’ve had a few “signs” that I look for when I feel depressed anxious; an exotic type of car that my “target” drives, seeing her put something on Twitter, etc. I feel good about these, but I’ve been having to remind myself that I do NOT want to manifest signs, I want to manifest the relationship.

It’s a sign, Jag! LOL But seriously, it’s great you had such insight into what you were creating.
Haha! 🙂
Something I was thinking about, maybe something you want to weigh-in on:
I know a big part of LOA is “Inspired Action.” My concern has been how to do I know I’m receiving inspiration or acting out of something else. Sometimes I think I feel inspired to do something, usually something small like take a different route to work or go get some water from the kitchen. Sometimes these come out of nowhere and sometimes (often) they lead me to seeing signs. Is is possible the Universe is trying to “train” me recognize inspired actions? Or is this just another instance of looking for signs?
Thanks,
JAG
This helped me: httpw://www.applythelawofattraction.com/why-law-attraction-require-action/
I couldn’t have explained inspired action better myself. 🙂
so then how do you know if it’s working or if it’s just a sign?
What I’ve learned is that you shouldn’t look for signs. If you’re living from the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you wouldn’t look for signs, because you’re already where you want to be.
Neville Goddard says:
“The signs always follow. They never precede. Things have no reality other than in consciousness. Therefore, get the consciousness first and the thing is compelled to appear.”
I think Elizabeth says it on this website as well. Just look it up; there are many great articles and a lot of answers on the commenst too.
Best.
Thank you
So I gotta ask; has anybody ever manifested a relationship with a specific person? I have manifested a person twice within two months; Once in the same day of asking to see her at college and another time during summer break in July 2013 at the mall which I was really not expecting. It’s been almost two years since I’ve seen her. I’ve also asked the universe if I should try contacting her through Facebook and it gave me the strangest sign a week later. I did message her but hesitated for two weeks. I never got a reply. I know she liked me at least as much as I her, but circumstances kind of got in the way. There’s also an age difference that kind of bothered me as she was 19 and I was 30. I just have never felt that away about anyone before. maybe it’s because I’ve been single for so long. I just feel like I’ve been stabbed in the back by the universe. I remember asking the universe if there was anyone like me out there, and two months later on the first day of class I remember sitting next to this person and getting this strange intuitive feeling that she was it.
You should read Manifesting Love
thank you for the suggestion. yes it is a good book I’ve read it twice. I know there are some subconscious things I’ve gotta work on, I just don’t really know what. I guess I’m just confused.
