The Manifestation Fill-In-The-Blank

I recently saw a quote posted online by author Eckhart Tolle. It might just be the ultimate template for anyone interested in manifestation.

It read: "You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge."

It dawned on me that you can substitute any goal in place of the words “good” or “goodness” and allow that aspiration to materialize.

For example, take the word “confidence” and put it in the quote. “You don’t become confident by trying to be confident, but by finding the confidence that is already within you, and allowing that confidence to emerge.”

Your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between confidence in pouring a glass of juice or giving a TED talk. It just knows the feeling of confidence. You already know what confidence feels like for you. So now you can transfer that feeling you already own from one goal to another. It just takes a little use of your imagination. 

Let’s take another word and insert it in the quote: “Abundance.”

“You don’t become abundant by trying to be abundant, but by finding the abundance that is already within you, and allowing that abundance to emerge.”

You can see Tolle’s quote has wide ranging applications.

Every person who’s preached manifestation comes back to the same principle: You have to have the feeling and belief that you already have the thing that you want. Call it “tricking your nervous system.”

There’s more to manifestation than just this concept, but it’s the most necessary one to get the ball rolling.

Don’t believe me, hear what Jesus had to say: “When you ask for something, believe you have received it and it will be yours.”

And if you’re a fan of THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne, she basically says the same thing. As did Napoleon Hill in his seminal book THINK AND GROW RICH when he wrote, "If you can believe it, you can achieve it.” 

Either they all made it up or it’s a workable solution. Put it to the test in your own life and find out, first hand, what you can create that’s already innate.

All the best,

John
