Summary + notes: According to Nafousi, manifestation is the practice of using positive thinking – a combination of a good attitude, actions, and feelings – to attract the things we desire into our lives. The foundation of manifestation is the Law of Attraction, which suggests that the energy we send out into the universe attracts similar energy back to us. In other words, a positive mindset brings good things into our lives and helps us achieve our goals, while a negative mindset attracts negativity into our lives and prevents us from achieving them. Therefore, we need an optimistic outlook to draw the desired life to us and become the best version of ourselves. To do this, you must think, behave, and feel positively.

Side note: Since the mid-2000s, the spiritual community, popular culture, and Rhonda Byrne, primarily through her book *The Secret*, have redefined the concept of "manifest." Byrne defines manifestation as the intentional or unintentional process by which we attract whatever we think about, whether good or bad. Nafousi defines manifestation as the process of attracting what we want in life with positive belief, or in other words, when we intentionally use only the positive side of the Law of Attraction.
