Does Manifestation really work?
I tried the whisper method to receive a specific positive reply for my message, but my conversation failed terribly. I was asked to forget about them. Should I really believe in manifestation?

The jury's still out as to whether or not manifesting really works, but activities often associated
with manifestation (like visualization, positive thinking, and reciting mantras) have been proven to be very effective in helping people achieve realistic goals. If the whisper method didn't work, it may be worth asking how you're framing your goal: is your goal to bring about some sort of positive change in your own life, or was your intention to get somebody else to behave a certain way?
Common manifestation techniques are typically only effective at bringing about personal, internal transformation, rather than creating any sort of external change—for instance, you might be able to manifest personal growth, a thriving love life, or professional success, but if you want to manifest your crush confessing their love or your boss suddenly giving you a raise, you may not achieve these goals. Another way to think about manifestation is that it's a reminder of the power you contain within to bring about positive change in your own life. You can't control what others do or say, but you can control what energy you expel and what energy you let into your life—so what sort of energy do you want to let in today?

A common mistake I see when it comes to manifesting is not setting a timeline. Everybody has their own timeline for how long it takes them to create something, whether it's something big or something small. If you don't know what your timeline is, then you don't know when to quit, or when you've accomplished what you're trying to manifest.
It's also important to know yourself, know your wording, know what you're good at and what your weak points are. Because if you don't know where you fumble, you can't fix it. Make sure you take manifesting seriously enough and realize the power of your mind and that you create your own reality.
