Why Letting Go Is The Ultimate Manifestation Power Move
You Don’t Attract What You Want. You Attract What Allow
Have you ever noticed that the harder you try to force something to happen, the further away it seems to get?
You’re not alone. The truth of the matter is that learning how to let go is the “master skill” to becoming a powerful creator and living the life you were meant to live. This article breaks down exactly how you can use the power of letting to attract the things you want in life.
So why is letting go so important?
The first reason is this: the Universe has your back. Always.
I know this idea is a cliche in self-help circles, but that does not make it any less true. This idea is not just rooted in spiritual wishful thinking either, it’s a universal law. In fact, every major spiritual tradition and even quantum science agrees: life always unfolds exactly as it’s meant to, when you get out the way that is.
When you trust and let go, you align yourself with a much greater force that already knows what’s best for you. Most likely you’ve already experienced quite a few “weird coincidences,” synchronicities and examples of divine timing in your life.
And most likely, if you look back on your life from now, you’ll notice that everything has already worked out exactly as it was supposed to.
This is NOT an accident. There are many examples of nature that back up this idea as well. For example:
Seasons Change Without Force. The universe naturally transitions from winter to spring without us needing to intervene.
A Seed Grows into a Tree Without Worry. It doesn’t stress about becoming a tree, it simply follows its divine timing.
The Law of Soul Curriculum: The Little Known Law That Guides Us All
This idea goes far beyond manifestation and the Law of Attraction as well. While these ideas are very powerful, we’ve all experienced situations where our manifestations don’t come to fruition despite our best efforts.
What’s going on here?
That answer is that there are other universal laws besides the Law of Attraction.
In addition to the Law of Attraction, there’s something I call the Law of Soul Curriculum. This law states that your life has a built-in lesson plan, designed just for you.
Sometimes, what we think we want isn’t actually what’s best for us, and the Universe has a way of rerouting us toward something even better.
We have to learn to let go and “let the Divine take the lead” as one of my favorite spiritual authors, Tosha Silver says. This means appreciating that everything is always happening exactly as it is supposed to be and that all will unfold exactly as it is meant to.
Again, the Universe knows what’s best for us much better than we do.
My first big business failure was a great example of this. A little over a decade ago, I launched a dog training business, convinced it would be my multi million-dollar empire. I poured everything into it – even racking up over $30,000 of credit card debt – only to end up broke, moving back with my parents.
I felt like a complete failure. But then there was a moment that changed everything for me:
I was on a call with my coach at the time, Ryan Levesque, and he made me an offer: 'What if you ran my launch for me?'
It felt like a massive blow to my ego at the time. But saying yes to that opportunity led me straight to my real purpose.
Had I clung to my dog training business, I never would have discovered my true calling.
The Universe knew what was best for me, even when I didn’t.
So the key is to let go and accept EVERYTHING that happens to you and let the Universe lead.
How Failing To Accept Reality Lowers Your Vibration
Pop quiz: what’s the opposite of letting go and accepting what is happening right now?
Answer: resistance.
Resistance is the opposite of letting go. When we’re resisting something we are essentially saying: “I don’t like what is going on right now” Common ways resistance manifests in the real world includes things like:
Complaining
Worrying
Being a victim
Pretty much any negative state of mind you can think of is really just resistance in action. The thing that all of these things have in common is that they are all low vibrational states. Remember: like attracts like. And the fastest way to attract things you don’t want in your life is to stay in these types of low-vibe states that are caused by resistance. And it gets worse…
Modern mindfulness teacher Shinzen Young has a great equation for this. He says that suffering = pain x resistance.
While pain is an inevitable part of life, our resistance to it amplifies our suffering. The Buddha illustrates this idea brilliantly with the two arrows parable. Here it is:
Imagine walking through a forest when suddenly, you're struck by an arrow. This first arrow represents pain: those inevitable challenges of life. But what happens next determines your experience.
Instead of tending to their wounds, lots of people shoot themselves with a second arrow, this one is self-inflicted. This second arrow represents resistance: the frustration, blame, and suffering we pile on top of the pain.
The Buddha taught that while we can’t avoid the first arrow (the pain), we have complete control over the second arrow (suffering). Resisting reality only lowers our vibration, making things harder than they need to be.
Remember: one of the biggest keys to staying in a high vibrational state is to stop doing things that put us in a low vibrational state. And the suffering state caused by resistance is the ultimate low vibe state that keeps many people stuck.
But when we let go and accept what is — without resistance — we stay in a high-frequency state where solutions and opportunities naturally flow.
The Ultimate Abundance Equation
Now let’s take this even further…
The power of acceptance and letting go can be much more than a mindset shift.
My good friend Suzy Ashworth likes to say that Faith + Action = Miracles. I love Suzy and I believe this equation is very powerful. But I’m always looking to optimize so I believe the ultimate abundance equation is:
Acceptance + Action + Faith = Miracles
So if you want to unlock true abundance, you must live by this formula:
ACCEPTANCE – Surrender fully to what is. No resistance. No wishing things were different.
ACTION – Move forward boldly, taking inspired action without attachment to the outcome.
FAITH – Trust that the Universe is conspiring in your favor even when you can’t see it yet.
This is how miracles happen.
This is how limitless abundance unfolds.
Live by this equation daily. And watch your world transform.
Repeat forever.
So long as you are moving forward, with faith, and accepting everything that is going on you literally cannot lose. When you apply this equation daily, your life becomes a miracle.
Happiness and abundance unfold in ways you never thought possible.
In this article, we talked about how letting go is the key to attracting limitless abundance. We discussed how the universe always has your back; then we talked about how all low vibrational states are ultimately caused by resistance, and now we just went over the ultimate abundance equation, which will create miracles for you once you apply it.

Your insight about acceptance creating space for miracles perfectly captures what I've experienced when surrendering to what is while still taking inspired action. Your framing of this balance between trust and movement is something that is missing in most manifestation teachings - it's that middle ground where miracles actually happen.
