In Part 5 of Unity Books Presents: Unapologetic Manifestation, Rev. Ken Daigle moves the Unapologetic Manifestation process into the physical world. Step 3 (Take Concrete Steps) reveals that new results require new actions; Ken shares how he sacrificed late-night habits to wake up at 5:00 AM to complete his manifestation book. Step 4 (Share Your Journey) challenges the idea of keeping dreams secret. Ken explains that by speaking your desires aloud, you allow the Universe to “conspire” with you, opening doors through people and opportunities you never could have reached alone.
Step 3: Take Concrete Steps
Ellen Debenport:
Okay. So step three, we finally move into action. Step three is take concrete steps.
Ken Daigle:
And in writing and promoting the book, I’ve learned something new about this. It’s like you need to take concrete steps in the world. You need to get out there. You need to have the website made, you have to do the classes you need to take, you need to hire the people, you need to do whatever it takes in the physical world to manifest your dreams.
You need to get on a dating site if you’re looking for a partner, or you need to go places where you might meet that partner. There’s all kinds of different aspects of what you can do.
But what I learned in the process too is that you can’t just do all the steps you’ve been doing, all this way along and expect a different result.
You actually need to take new concrete steps in order to manifest something new in the world.
So that may be…like even writing the book. How was I gonna find the time to write the book? I have three kids, I have a full-time job, I have a husband, I have all this life. How was I going to find time to write this book?
And so what I did is give up my late night television binge, the comedy shows late at night, and went to bed earlier and got up at five in the morning. And before the kids woke up, I had from five to seven to do my meditation, sometimes at 4:30, do my meditation, do my writing, do the work I needed to do directly on the book.
So that was a new step for me. That was something that shifted.
And then when One Unity was happened, when the merger of our two organizations was happening, the book had been written, but I was used to getting up at five in the morning. So I was up at five in the morning answering things on the Unity Minister discussion page and writing emails and doing all that kind of work.
So it turned into this new way of being for me that has enabled my life to prosper on multiple levels and finding time to fit them in my day.
So I invite everybody to take a new step, to look at how you do things and see if there’s a different way so that you can create the time and the space and the opportunities that are gonna be waiting for you on the other side of it.
New concrete steps.
Step 4: Share Your Journey
Ellen Debenport:
Okay, but taking action by yourself is not all that you do, and this was an interesting step to me, step four, is share your journey. Now, I have heard other teachers say you should keep your dreams to yourself, but you say let others know what you’re trying to manifest.
Ken Daigle:
I think that you never know who’s going to conspire with you, who make your dream come true, right? That the person you need to help launch this whole endeavor, this whole idea, is waiting right there for you to share it.
There will be people who say no. They will be naysayers. They will always be. And they’re going to have their opinion whether you share it or not. They’ll look at what you’re doing and have an opinion about whether you should be doing it or not.
You can’t stop them.
Let them, as Mel Robbins says, let them. Let them have their opinion and you have yours.
But that one person who says, That’s a great idea, “have you thought about this?” might send you on a whole new tangent that opens up new pathways that take your idea to someplace it never would have been without you sharing your journey.
An old story, but it’s not in the book in this form, is I was friends with my husband for years, three years before we ever started dating. And I went out to dinner with him and told him about my journey, about my wanting a new romantic partner in my life.
And by the end of the dinner, we were on a date.
And so a friend transitioned into what I was looking for, because I was aware that as I was sitting across the dinner table from him and describing what I wanted in a romantic relationship, I was staring right at it. And my mind was saying no, but everything else was saying yes.
And so if I hadn’t shared what I wanted, I might not be married and living in this house in Marin County today in California, because I took a risk and shared my dream with someone.
So I invite everybody to share your journey.
The people who don’t believe in it, they’re not your partners in it. You’ll find the right ones.
