MY POV On Manifestation

This post is dedicated to younger Sivan. The little girl who dreamed of big things and always envisioned a life by design. To some extent, you did know this would be your life.

As I sit on the plane home from San Francisco, I’m overcome by such gratitude and happiness. Today I presented all the upcoming launches for Lux Unfiltered in 2025 and could hardly believe that this is my job. It still doesn’t feel real.

I recently came across some old pictures from my childhood and was reminded just how much I loved branding, marketing, and advertising even as a child. I would collect Got Milk? ads, hang up every campaign from MAC cosmetics in my bathroom, and recreate editorial spreads from all my favorite magazines using my izod camera (who remembers those?!).

After sharing some of these images on my Instagram, a lot of the DM’s made me emotional because it was a lot of you saying that I really manifested this life.

I honestly have no idea if manifestation is a process, method, or even real, but to some extent I feel like I have always been able to manifest. To me, the way I would do it is by visually imagining how I wanted things to come into fruition. There was always a clear picture in my mind of what my life would physically look like. I guess you could say I have a pretty vivid imagination.

For example, every house we have lived in, I knew in my gut as we viewed it for the first time this was ‘the one’ because I could visually see my life there. There are even times when I think of situations in my head and they feel so real to me and they eventually do happen. Maybe I just have a strong intuition?

Another piece I feel plays into manifesting parts of my life is passion. I am SO passionate about the things that bring me joy. I was like this in school – when I was interested in something I gave it my absolute all, but if I didn’t find it interesting I would barely pass – and I do this now in my career, too. Because I am so fortunate to have built multiple brands that are based around my passions, working towards my goals and visions doesn’t even feel like work. In fact, it fuels me and brings me an immense amount of fulfillment.

Possessing passions is such an important part of life, in my opinion. Without passion, what drives you? What keeps you motivated? I HAVE to have creative projects in my life in order to feel fully happy. Somehow I’ve surrounded myself with just that. Branding for my businesses, creative campaigns for my work as a Creator, house renovations for my dream home, and now, slowly getting back into simple art projects with my daughter that we can enjoy together.

I would say the underlying combination of my form of manifestation is just vision, intuition, and passion. These would be my 3 pillars for how I’ve achieved everything in my life up until this point. Probably sounds like nonsense, but to be able to visualize what I wanted my adult life to be based on my passions as a child, I truly don’t think it was all a coincidence.

Finding those pictures really made me realize just how much passion I have for creativity, art, photography, beauty, writing, and so much more. I’m grateful to have passions that have allowed me to create the life I’ve always dreamed of.
