Lubaale Kiwanuka!
Every belief you hold reorganizes your entire universe into a path from where you are to what you want. Because of this, every belief significantly shapes the kind of effort and time you need to reach your goal.
For example, if you want water and believe there are natural streams flowing beneath the earth, your path will include the effort of well digging. But for someone else who believes water comes from the heavens, their effort will go toward creating a mode of communication with the sky, which might include learning a rain dance to summon the rain.
Ultimately, effort and time will usually get you what you want, but modifying your beliefs acts as a powerful way to optimize the effort and time needed. This is the mechanism behind manifestation. There is no inherent mysticism.
Discipline polishes effort.
Patience buys time.
Attention modifies beliefs.
Desires set goals.
A good balance of these four things is what is considered manifestation by all the sages and mystics of the past and present.
