Every time I’ve manifested something, it has required my old self to die

This is a concept that Neville Goddard spoke about. He said we need to “abandon our old selves” for our manifestations to come in. 

Let me give you some examples… 

When I left corporate to start my spiritual business, I was focusing much more on my identity as a spiritual leader than on my 9-5 job. I was putting myself out there on YouTube, sharing my knowledge, doing readings, and leading events. My corporate self had to “die” for my spiritual leadership to emerge.

Before buying my house, I had to let go of the “comfort” associated with renting an apartment, and step up in responsibility. It sounds silly, but I had to let go of thoughts like, “if something breaks, it isn’t my responsibility to fix it”. We often have subconscious thoughts like this — and they block us from our dreams! Only then could I start seriously manifesting. 

Every night, I visualized myself falling asleep inside my home. I could “feel” it: the ceilings were high, the windows were big, there was lots of natural light, and I felt at complete peace. 

When I walked into my ACTUAL house, the energy was exactly the same as what I had been manifesting. I knew it was my house from the moment I walked in, because the energy matched perfectly. 

Earlier this year, I told myself I could become a successful artist. This was not so much a goal as something that gave me joy. In order to do it, I had to be willing to let go of my current identity. I started painting every day and sharing my art on social media. A lot of people came by and asked if they could purchase my pieces.

Within 4 months, I had booked two art shows. This is kind of a “ridiculous” thing to have manifested, considering that I have no background in art - it was just a random hobby I picked up one day.

My biggest manifestation tip: you must master the FEELING of what you want to manifest; and you must be willing to completely let go of any old identity. If you REALLY want to expand your opportunities, potential, and manifest more quickly, you must let go of the identity… at least, for now.

You’ll soon realize that reality is malleable. We dictate it, we control it, and we influence it daily. 

The more you are willing to “abandon” the old parts of yourself, the more abundance and success you can manifest today.
