“What you radiate outward, you will attract inward.” —Dr. Joe Vitale
The journey of manifestation is not merely a pursuit of external goals or material success. Manifestation is a profound transformation of your inner world, a shift in your consciousness that aligns you with the vibration of abundance and fulfillment. At the heart of this journey lies the manifestation mindset, a way of being that embodies the reality you desire to create.
Embodying the Success You Desire
To manifest your dreams, you must first become the person who is worthy of receiving them. This means shedding the limiting beliefs, doubts, and fears that have held you back, and fully embracing the qualities and characteristics of your desired state. This is tough. No question. But it is a necessary step. If you don’t fully believe you deserve success, the tiniest bit of doubt will prevent you from getting it.
If financial abundance is your goal, cultivate the mindset of a prosperous individual – exude confidence, make decisions from a place of abundance rather than scarcity, and treat yourself and others with the generosity that reflects your desired reality. You deserve to be successful. There is no shame in raising your prices when you need to, or telling someone who wants a reading that your price might be higher than what they expected, but you get what you pay for.
I frequently tell clients that my prices for readings are not negotiable (unless I can tell the person is genuinely in need and broke, in which case, we barter). A few times people have said to me, “Well, I am not going to pay that,” and stormed off. They always come back. They came to me for a reason. Being firm about my prices establishes a boundary of professionalism between me and my clients, as well as ensures I am getting my worth in exchange for the energy expended. It also tells the Universe that I am serious about deserving success.
If success is what you seek, embody the poise, expertise, and leadership of a thriving business person, influencer, or actor. Emulate someone you admire. Carry yourself with the assurance of someone who has already achieved their aspirations, and let your actions reflect the level of excellence you wish to attain.
The Role of Self-Confidence and Self-Love
At the core of the manifestation mindset lies an unwavering belief in yourself and a deep sense of self-love. When you truly value and appreciate your own worth, you emanate a strong, magnetic and charismatic energy that attracts opportunities and circumstances that align with your goals.
You can begin to cultivate self-confidence by celebrating your strengths, acknowledging your accomplishments, and surrounding yourself with a supportive network that reflects back to you the greatness you possess.
This is easier said than done.
Many of us have longtime friends that are great to be around, but kind of bring us down. Maybe they earn less than you. Maybe they constantly complain about their job or their life. Maybe you feel you need to help them or that they rely on you. Maybe you get a high off of being the witch that saves the day. These are not bad things, but they can bring you down.
When I was initiated into Lukumí, I was told by the Orisha Oshún, “You give away, and you give away, and you give away. Will you give me away next?” Ouch. A painful lesson, but I needed to learn it.
Prioritize self-care practices that nourish your mind, body, and spirit, for when you love and nurture yourself, you become a powerful vessel for manifesting your desires.
“Self-love is the source of all our other loves.” —Pierre Corneille
No means N.O.
According to Manifestation Coach, Victoria Jackson:
“It can feel so disheartening as a new business owner to have rejection emails, clients choosing not to move forward with you, or people clicking off your website with things sitting in their baskets and no purchase made, but understand this – “no” only means Next Opportunity.”
The Science Behind Manifesting
According to Elizabeth Michael and Brindusa Vanta, MD, DHMHS in The Science of Manifestation: The Power of Positive Thinking:
“There is no scientific proof that manifestation works in terms of individuals simply wishing something into existence. However, some research suggests that people may manifest positive things by believing they have the ability to do so. This means if a person believes they can achieve a goal such as landing a dream job or purchasing a home, they’re willing to take the necessary steps to make their dreams a reality.
Not so reassuring, however later in the research paper, they state this:
“The quantum theory law of attraction states that a person’s beliefs can affect their reality. When practicing manifestation, a person may be able to create a “placebo effect” in their subconscious mind and physical body. They use visualization to create a clear picture of their desire in their minds and imagine how they would truly feel in the moment if their wish were to materialize.”
Examples of Manifesting Success
Neicy Nash (Reno 911, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, The Masked Singer)was nominated for five Emmys before winning one. After her unforgettable acceptance speech, she said something mind-blowing, “It’s not called them-esteem, or mamma-esteem, or us-esteem,” she says, “It’s called self-esteem, because no one but you has to believe it.” Ashé, Neicy.
A more well-known story of manifesting success is with actor, Jim Carrey. In 1985, Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million. He dated it for 1994, for “acting services rendered.” He carried the check in his wallet everywhere he went. In 1995, he was cast in Dumb and Dumber for $10 million.
Sharing Your Success and Inspiring Others
As you embrace the manifestation mindset and experience the abundance it attracts, you become an inspiration for others. Share your journey, your insights, and your triumphs, for in doing so, you not only inspire others to embark on their own paths of manifestation, but you also amplify the positive energy that fuels the universal flow of abundance.
Mentor those who seek your guidance, share your knowledge and experiences freely, and celebrate the success of others as if it were your own. For in the realm of manifestation, the more you give, the more you receive — a perpetual cycle of abundance that enriches the lives of all who embrace it.
Embody the manifestation mindset, and watch as your reality shifts to align with the vibration you emanate. Abundance, fulfillment, and success will become your natural state of being, and the magic of manifestation will become your way of life.
