Do you believe in the law of attraction?
It is about the power of the mind to translate whatever is in our thoughts and make them into reality. Others call it the manifestation of a dream, where people just let the universe know their aspirations.
One example is when Pia Wurtzbach promised Filipinos that she would bring home the Miss Universe crown. She manifested this on Twitter after Manny Pacquiao lost to Floyd Mayweather in what was called the "Fight of the Century" in 2015
After seven months, Pia was crowned as the 2015 Miss Universe, ending the country's 42-year drought of the title.
Like the Pinay beauty queen, Filipina athlete Hidilyn Diaz also showed the power of the law of attraction when she promised to win the first Olympic gold medal of the Philippines in 2019.
Indeed, Hidilyn made a historic win in weightlifting at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which brought pride and joy to the whole nation.
Vickie Rushton shared on Instagram a screenshot of her 'cutie manifestation' years ago before tying the knot with Jason Abalos.
