Hello everyone.
I made a post in this community a while back (It’s been two years since I made my first post to this community—you can search my post history) and several of you have asked me for an update. Here it goes..
First, a little about me. I was born in abject poverty in an abusive household. I struggled growing up and had to endure things a human being should not endure. I was also briefly homeless for a while. The only person who loved me, my mother, died when I was young. I had no lucky breaks in my life.
I owe all of my success to the study of self improvement, the study of manifestation, and from learning from teachers such as Neville Goddard.
I am glad to say that I am very happy. I am still living the life of my dreams, with a net worth now of a little less than $30 million and with an abundance of friends, some of whom are quite famous.
It’s hard to pin down my exact net worth because some of it is in art and in my house so it would depend on how that is appraised at any given time. The point is, I’m close to $30 million now.
Money is still my main manifesting focus.
In my original post I told how I set a goal of making $2.2 million a year and achieved it.
A year ago I unhooked my money flow from this belief. I now choose to believe that I don’t have to make money from my job and that now I can make it from investments alone.
The universe answered almost immediately. I now make less than $2.2 million a year at my job but my investments have surpassed that level. In other words I realized that making $2.2 million a year from working is a sort of limiting belief and that I can make more money through means other than my job. The universe responded!
I initially set my goal at $30 million net worth. As I am closing in on this milestone I realize how short-sighted I was! I achieved my goals too fast and I should have thought on a bigger scale.
I’ve reframed my goal to $100 million now.
Dont make the mistake I made. Set your sights reallllyyy high.
There are fountains of money all around us. All we have to do is dip into them.
Every day the universe presents us with abundant opportunities. Sometimes we have to be silent and listen to them.
For instance, a while back I had to take my dog to the vet and the vet told me that he wanted to do a test on my dog. He said it had to be a specific test and that he only used that particular brand.
My dog was fine but I started feeling that there was an opportunity there. I researched the company that made the test and bought stock in it.
I made about $100,000 in that stock before I sold it.
We live in a world of great abundance. There are plentiful opportunities available to all of us. We have to remain quiet and listen for opportunities and act when inspiration happens.
I am still friends with lots of famous people. I’m not famous myself by any means which makes it all remarkable that I have famous friends! I did have a conscious desire to manifest people in my life who are interesting and famous people are interesting to me. So it definitely shows that it’s possible to do this.
One common question I have been asked—do any of my famous friend study Neville or practice law of attraction?
I never discuss these topics with anyone “in real life” so I’ve never asked any of them. But I do have a few clues.
One of my friends (mega famous!) had a phrase he repeated over and over to himself. The phrase meant “there are no limits.” He even put this phrase on a plaque in his home. I’m pretty convinced he used manifestation either intentionally or accidentally.
Likewise another friend used visualization to achieve his success. He told me he rehearsed things and practiced things in his mind.
I am convinced that every famous person manifested fame, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Needless to say I am very grateful for knowing interesting and important people. I’ve learned from them and that has made my life much richer.
I’m still discovering new ideas and constantly improving myself.
I’ve learned some things about manifestation since creating my initial post several years ago. I’d like to share my thoughts with you.
Many of you have found this community because you are in pain. Maybe you’ve lost someone special to you, or maybe you’re hurting because you are in poverty.
I am convinced that manifesting from a source of pain is not a good way to achieve success.
Many people say “if only I can have _____ I will be happy.“ The blank could be filled with money, people, fame, or anything else that people long for.
I’m here to say that is completely wrong.
I know people with lots of money who are unhappy. I know famous people who are unhappy. Those things don’t make happiness.
Likewise, when we allow other people to create our happiness for us, they often fail at doing so. They create it the way THEY want not how WE want.
So people don’t make us happy. (A special partner won’t make you happy!). Dont give other people the power to make you happy or unhappy. Keep that power to yourself.
Happiness is something we create in our own lives. We are the creators of our own destiny. We are responsible for creating our own happiness.
What is happiness? The best definition I have ever heard is that happiness is “the full occupation of hands, mind, and heart.”
So I think it’s important to focus on the creation of happiness first. Then going forward, our manifestations are synchronized with the order of the universe. The success we achieve is really a product of the happiness we feel.
I know some of you are saying “well that’s easy to say but you don’t know my circumstances. I can’t create happiness because of how troubled I am.”
I often think of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. He was born a slave, and slept on a bed of straw at night, chained to a wall.
He believed that he did not choose the circumstances to which he was born, but he could choose to be happy. So he chose to be happy, and he was.
If Epictetus can be happy chained to a wall and sleeping on straw, so can you in your own life’s circumstances. Happiness is a choice, not a result.
Another thing I have learned—Techniques don’t manifest. Let’s explore this idea.
If I were learning the piano and wanted one simple trick as to how I can play the piano like a master musician without any study or practice, that wouldn’t really work would it?
Thats not to say that skilled pianists don’t have certain techniques to play better. But overall it’s their constant routine of doing EVERYTHING they can to play better that makes them who they are.
Likewise, those people looking for that one technique to manifest are sort of on a wrong track.
For instance, SATS is a great tool, but it’s only a small part of what you should be doing.
This is a lifestyle, not a magic trick. It requires practice and focus. Just like being a concert pianist does.
Self improvement is a lifelong road. Achievements like a wonderful partner, money, success, etc are just milestones along that road.
It’s fun to have desires. It’s fun to manifest. The purpose of life, I am convinced, is to experience joy.
I wish abundance and happiness on everyone who reads this. Keep reading Neville Goddard and the wisdom of other teachers and do all you can to make your dreams come true.
Keep going!
