The commonly-cited trilogy of "be, do & have" is a convenient way to refer to different levels of your own reality. Generally, the "be" aspects would be at a more fundamental level than the "do" aspects, and the "do" aspects would be at a more fundamental level than the "have" aspects.

Simple example - consider a child who's feeling happy as she plays with her new toy.

The "have" part is her new toy.

The "do" part is playing with the new toy.

The "be" part is her state of happiness.

In IM/LOA, if you successfully manifest your "be" intentions, the related "do's" and "have's" tend to follow naturally.

If you successfully manifest the "do" intentions, the related "have's" tend to follow naturally.

But the reverse isn't necessarily true - for example, if you succeed in manifesting a new toy, you may not actually have the time to play with it and the toy may not actually make you happy.

Whereas if you successfully manifest happiness, then it tends to naturally follow that your life is filled with activities and things which keep you happy.
