In order to manifest something overnight, you need to know your exact outcome, be ready to receive it, and have total certainty that you will.
If you are looking for answers on how to manifest something really quickly in your life, it is likely that you are already not too far from what you really want.
Examples of manifesting something overnight (or within a few days) abound in people’s personal experiences as well as in literature.
Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich” is filled with examples of virtually instant or overnight manifestation. I have experienced this myself many times in my life as I’m sure you have, too.
In this guide, I will:
- Explain what it takes to manifest something overnight or very quickly
- Give you examples of overnight manifestation
- Provide you with practical steps to manifest speedily
What It Takes to Manifest Something Overnight
First, let’s get something out of the way – something that has some stench around it. And that is the notion that manifesting an outcome is some sort of a new age, woo-woo concept. It is nothing of the sort.
We manifest outcomes all the time. Manifestation is an act of setting a goal and making it a reality. Simple as that.
If you wanted to get a college degree, and you got it, you manifested your degree. If you wanted a bottle of beer, and you went to the store and bought it, you manifested your beer.
This is simple, but let me give you a caveat – something that may not be obvious. Small and simple goals take small and simple steps to achieve them. Big outcomes – something way beyond your comfort zone of achieving – take steps and conditions that never took place before.
And some of the most outlandish outcomes involve something beyond human psychology and behavior. They require the assistance of the transcendent.
This is where a scientist would stop reading because the matters of the spirit, the superconscious mind, and Infinite Intelligence do not lend themselves easily to scientific inquiry.
But this doesn’t mean these things don’t exist. And I call them “things” for a reason. Because, as Napoleon Hill states in his immortal book, “Thoughts are things. And powerful things at that.”
Impossible Outcomes and Necessary Conditions
Let’s get something else out of the way real quick. Some outcomes are impossible to manifest overnight. Like what?
For example, if you are a college freshman and you want to receive your college diploma overnight, that is not going to happen. I mean, yes, your mafioso uncle could make an offer he couldn’t refuse to the dean. But that would not be a legitimate college degree reflective of an education.
In other words, two main conditions that must absolutely be met are these:
- The scope of the goal must be possible to achieve
- The timeframe of the goal must be possible to meet
Note that I am not using the word “realistic.” I’m not a big fan of this word. In my life I have achieved many things that were not “realistic,” at least according to other people, including my friends and loved ones.
But it has to be possible, in terms of scope and time.
Conditions for Manifesting Something Overnight
When you are trying to manifest something overnight or very quickly, this is a special situation. It is highly likely that you already have most of what you need in place. And now what it takes is manifesting only one or two missing pieces, and you’ll have the outcome.
Why is this special? Because the short timeframe will force you to take your thinking and your actions to a brand new level. And sometimes it is a radically higher level, compared to past thinking and behavior. But this is doable. This is possible.
Condition #1. You must know precisely what you want.
The word “precisely” is key here. You must absolutely know what you want, in detail, if you want to manifest quickly.
In fact, the biggest problem people have achieving an outcome is that they don’t know exactly what they want. They usually have an idea, maybe a pretty good idea, but they don’t have crystal clarity.
If it’s money, you must know the dollar amount. If it’s a job, you must know exactly what job you’re looking for, in detail. If it’s an answer to a question, your question must be precise.
Let me give you an example from Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich.” This is my favorite example in the book and in all self-development literature.
A little girl, a daughter of a sharecropper, walked into an old mill to ask the landlord for half a dollar: “My mammy say send her fifty cents.” The landlord essentially told her to get lost.
But she didn’t budge. The landlord overlooked that fact and got back to what he was doing. Then he saw that the girl was still there. This time he threatened her with a rod.
But instead of backing off, the little girl stepped forward and yelled at the top of her voice,” My mammy say she’s gotta have that fifty cents!”
The man stopped, lay down the barrel stave he was holding, took half a dollar our of his pocket, and gave it to her. The girl took the money and slowly backed out of the mill without saying a word.
A man with a fierce temper was subdued by the girl’s certainty and the clarity of her outcome. What did she want? Fifty cents. When did she want it? Now. And she got it while the outcome seemed impossible, at least for the storyteller who witnessed the event.
Condition #2. You must be ready to receive it.
When you show up with a 10-ounce bottle to purchase a gallon of milk, you know you have a problem. You can only carry back 10 ounces.
So if you ask for a gallon, make sure you bring an empty 1-gallon container. Let me give you an example from my personal experience to illustrate this.
In 2006 I received a serious injury – I tore an ACL (one of the major ligaments) in my left knee. I needed a solution, but I did not want to go the surgical route because that would have been another injury.
In other words, I was looking for a way to heal my knee without surgery. And this outcome seemed impossible to people around me, but not to me.
My early attempts to find this solution failed. I was not ready to receive the healing. Why? Because I had been placing it in the hands of others. I was looking for someone to heal me.
Then, and I’ll tell the whole story in another article, through a meeting with a mythical woman, a goddess, I learned that I could heal myself. In other words, I became open to the possibility of getting my healing by means of hard work instead of just asking someone else to do it to me.
In other words, I became an open vessel to receive the answer I had been seeking. And shortly thereafter, I received it. I was ready.
Condition #3. You must have total certainty.
Napoleon Hill calls it Faith, but I’ll submit to you that it will take even more than faith to manifest an outcome overnight. It will take absolute knowledge. I call it an Imperative.
An Imperative is a state of mind in which you are so certain that you will get the outcome that you have not a shred of a doubt because it sounds like the voice of God telling you that this will happen (no religious connotations here).
It feels like intense decisiveness coupled with positive knowledge (not just hope or faith) that it will happen. In fact, it feels like it has happened already.
To continue the example of my healing, at some point I became open to the idea of self-healing, and I was now looking for the exact solution, the precise method by which I could do that.
Shortly thereafter, I was walking in the park with a friend when suddenly I was overtaken by a flash of what you might call divine inspiration. Virtually out of nowhere, I suddenly became 100% certain that I would heal my knee without surgery.
It was like a voice of God telling me that the answer was ready, and all I had to do was go and receive it and then follow the instructions. I had absolute knowledge that the outcome was mine. It was an Imperative.
To make a long story short, within several days I found the exact clinic where they specialized in non-surgical treatment of ligament tears and other injuries. It was located in another country, but I was ready to go and I went.
Within three months, I no longer had pain or limitations in movement. I was completely healed – without surgery. I could walk with no limp, run, and even do heavy squats.
Practical Steps to Manifesting Something Overnight
Now that you know what it takes to manifest something overnight or very quickly, let me give you three steps to making it happen for you.
Step 1. Become crystal clear on your outcome.
Sit down with pen and paper and clarify your desired outcome for yourself. Ask these questions:
- What exactly do I want?
- What size is it?
- What is the exact quantity?
- What is the exact quality?
- Why type is it?
- Why do I want it?
- What are all the reasons that I must have it?
- Why is it so important that I have it now?
The more clear you are about the outcome, the faster it will come into your reality.
Step 2. Prepare to receive it.
To really be ready to receive something, you must feel deserving of it. And the best way to begin feeling that you deserve something is to have gratitude wash over your entire being.
Gratitude is key to receiving more because if you are not thankful for what you have already, then why would the Infinite Intelligence give you even more?
Just think of it that way, even if you’re not sure what I’m referring to when I say “Infinite Intelligence.” It’s a term Napoleon Hill uses in his famous book to describe this all-permeating power of which we are tiny parts.
Sit down for at least 10 minutes and write down all the things you are grateful for right now. No matter how tough things may seem for you at the moment, you’ll find a ton of things to be thankful for.
All you need to do is keep asking yourself over and over: “What else am I grateful for? What else am I grateful for?”
And sometimes you may ask an additional question: “Why?” Write down all the answers. When you’re done, go over this list and reiterate each point to yourself.
Really feel grateful for everything you are, have, and can do today.
Step 3. Become as certain as you can.
This is the most difficult step because the Imperative is very hard to bring about at will. It is usually a result of having done continuous work on your inner game.
But you can bring yourself to a very high level of certainty. And one of the best ways to do that is to use a tool by Tony Robbins that he calls Incantations.
Incantations really have the power to rev up your state to a lot higher vibration because they engage your entire physiology.
Here is a video you can watch right now to start using Incantations:
I hope this guide was helpful. Now go and manifest your outcome!
To your freedom,
