When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires.. Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they’re not contradicting what you‘ve asked for.

Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation.
