The eleventh Hour: Why Your Manifestation Isn’t Late—It’s Right on Time

Many years ago, I wanted to give up.

I thought, It’s not happening, so it must not work!


So, I went back to my old ways, convinced that maybe this whole manifestation thing wasn’t real after all. And low and behold—I was still unhappy. Who’d have thought?!


I had heard of divine timing, but I never really gave it much thought. I wanted my timing! I wanted things to happen exactly when I decided they should.


But here’s the thing: I needed to learn a lesson in that waiting period.

It wasn’t until I "gave up" that I realised giving up wasn’t an option. That deep yearning within me? It wasn’t something I could ignore. The second I decided to fully step back into the person I wanted to be, doing the thing I loved—bam—someone reached out to me. Then they referred me to someone else, who referred me to someone else… and so on. It was like the Universe was saying:


"You needed to be ready for your next level. You needed to be energetically prepared for the people I’m about to throw your way, sister!"



Truth Bomb: Timing is not your call

.

The truth is, the how and when you think is best for you is, to some degree, irrelevant.

Your vision is yours—that means it is meant for you. But the how and when? That’s up to the Universe.


Think of it this way: The Universe has a bird’s-eye view of your life. It can see your timeline, the lessons you need to learn, and the exact moment you finally step into the vibrational state needed to receive and become the person aligned with your desires.


Ever had a moment where you thought, "Thank God/Source/Universe that didn’t work out!"?


Maybe you didn’t get the house you wanted, and later found out it had massive structural issues, or you found an even better house. Maybe the company you desperately wanted to work for went bust a year later. Maybe that person you were heartbroken over turned out to be a complete jerk.


What we think is right for us isn’t always meant for us—and that’s a good thing.


Trusting in divine timing isn’t always easy, but when you do, everything shifts. Suddenly, there’s certainty. You know it’s all inevitable. And that? That’s freeing.



So What to Do During ‘The Wait’.


Even when you understand divine timing, waiting can still feel frustrating. So what can you do in the in-between moments? Here are my top tips for navigating The Wait.


1. Journal on Your Frustrations—ALL of Them!


Forget the whole “low vibe” fear—writing down your frustrations isn’t negative, it’s acknowledgment. It’s energy that needs to be released. Get it all out onto paper, then release it to the Universe.

At the end of your journaling session, try writing something like: "I now release these fears and frustrations to the Universe, knowing you are always working for my highest good."




If you’re a visual person, picture your worries floating away in a balloon, rising higher and higher until they disappear. Or imagine them as bubbles, popping and vanishing instantly.


2. Ask for Guidance


Sometimes we get so stuck in the how and when that we keep doing the same things over and over and can’t see another way. Instead, ask for guidance:

"Universe/God/Source, I need your guidance right now. Help me to see and do things differently. I am open and willing to take a new path."


Then, pay attention. The answer might come as a sudden idea, a book recommendation, a new opportunity, or even an intuitive nudge that shifts your whole thinking.


3. Adopt a Different Perspective


If the Universe/God could speak to you directly, what would they say? If they could show you the bigger picture, what wisdom would they offer?


Or, imagine your future self—30 or 40 years from now—looking back at you. What advice would they give you, knowing everything they’ve learned along the way?

You can even do this from the perspective of your ancestors, spirit guides, or guardian angels. Sometimes, a simple perspective shift is all we need to understand the process and lean into faith.


4. Find Your Golden Circle


You are the company you keep—so make sure your company is kick-ass and high-vibe!


Surround yourself with people who:

  • Understand what you’re trying to achieve

  • Have already accomplished what you want

  • Support you and challenge you in a positive way


Being around the right people raises your energy and keeps you from slipping back into doubt and frustration.


5. Keep Your Mindset Strong


Your mindset is your foundation. If you focus only on what you’re trying to manifest and nothing else, you’ll burn out—just like working 12+ hours a day would eventually knock you off your feet.


Take care of your mind daily:

🌿 Practice breathwork and meditation

🎧 Listen to powerhouse podcasts

📖 Read books that support your growth

✨ Learn new techniques to change your energy


Your mind needs good fuel to keep it running, just like your body does. 



Trust That It’s All Unfolding Perfectly


These are just some of the things you can do to help you navigate the in-between moments. I still use these practices today—especially asking for guidance and keeping my mindset strong.


Remember: Your timeline isn’t necessarily the right one. The Universe is orchestrating things in ways you can’t even see yet—so you receive exactly what you want and need, exactly when you’re ready for it.


And when you finally get what you’ve been manifesting? You’ll understand why the wait was so necessary and worth it.



If you've tried any of these techniques I'd love to know which ones helped. Do you have your own practices that you use whilst your waiting for your desires to unfold? Let me know in the comments!


If this resonated with you, chances are it will resonate with someone else too. Feel free to pass it onto your friends & family, or share with someone who could use this reminder today!
