How to (Actually) Manifest Anything You Desire — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Have you ever written down everything
- 0:01you wanted, said it every [music]
- 0:03morning, but ended up stuck in the same
- 0:05life? You might have been told it's
- 0:07because your vibration is too low. That
- 0:09working for it means you're in scarcity.
- 0:12The truth [music] is, none of that is
- 0:13real, but grinding harder isn't the fix
- 0:16either. I know because once I truly
- 0:17understood manifestation, I transformed
- 0:20my life and that of the people I coach.
- 0:22That's why in this video, I will show
- 0:24you what manifestation truly is, how to
- 0:27actually manifest anything you want, and
- 0:28by the end you'll finally be able to
- 0:30start changing your life.
- 0:32It all starts with what manifesting
- 0:34meant before it was turned into a
- 0:36religion. Before my wife and I were
- 0:38married, so while we were dating, I knew
- 0:40I had someone special and I wanted to
- 0:42know if we were going to be compatible
- 0:45for something more long-term. I knew she
- 0:47was a keeper, so I wanted to hold on to
- 0:49her. So I listened to her values
- 0:50conversationally about what was
- 0:51important to her in a relationship. I
- 0:53was delighted to discover that our
- 0:55values were very compatible and the ways
- 0:57in which we wanted to fulfill those
- 0:59values were very compatible. She loved
- 1:01travel. She was already working in my
- 1:03business at that time. After I had our
- 1:05values and I had all of this wonderful
- 1:07information, I fed it back to her and
- 1:09painted a vision of a life together. And
- 1:12I basically said, you know, imagine what
- 1:14it would be like if we were traveling
- 1:16the world and running this business and
- 1:18we could hop from place to place. As I
- 1:20was explaining all this, I thought her
- 1:21eyes were going to pop out of her head.
- 1:23They got so big and they were reflecting
- 1:24so much light. Her pupils were dilated,
- 1:26meaning that she was really absorbing
- 1:27the information and really wanting what
- 1:30I was explaining. So I knew I was onto
- 1:31something and the vision that I was
- 1:33painting was exactly what I wanted as
- 1:35well. So we both wanted it. We were both
- 1:37sharing this vision now. We started with
- 1:39that idea, this concept, these values.
- 1:42We turned those values into a vision
- 1:43together as we walked through it. Then
- 1:45we put it into action. We planned
- 1:47things. We did things. And about a year
- 1:49later, that's exactly what we were
- 1:51doing. We had manifested that vision
- 1:54from idea to reality. This is what true
- 1:57manifestation is and it's one of the
- 1:59most satisfying things we experience
- 2:01when we can look back and see when this
- 2:03all began, when we had the idea, and
- 2:06then all the steps that we took after
- 2:07that until finally making that idea a
- 2:10reality and stepping into it and living
- 2:12that reality. I love doing this. This is
- 2:14what I live for. It's the most
- 2:16satisfying and fulfilling and rewarding
- 2:18experience. Vision boards, vibrating on
- 2:20some imaginary frequency, and saying
- 2:22affirmations, and fake it till you make
- 2:23it, those things are not going to get
- 2:25you there. Those things are not going to
- 2:28help you manifest what it is that you
- 2:30want. But, more on that later. Like I
- 2:31said, the true meaning of manifestation
- 2:34is to actually do stuff. It's to take
- 2:36that idea and turn it into reality. It's
- 2:38not to think of an idea, and visualize
- 2:40it, and then suddenly it just happens.
- 2:42That's not how this works. You actually
- 2:43have to put in the work. You have to put
- 2:45in the effort. Unfortunately, what
- 2:47manifestation has become is more a
- 2:50religion. In fact, it's very similar to
- 2:52what is called prosperity gospel.
- 2:54Prosperity gospel is typically preachers
- 2:56using the Bible, interpreting the Bible
- 2:58to mean that it's all about money and
- 3:00prosperity. They preach to people
- 3:02saying, "Give me money. Give the church
- 3:05money because giving me and the church
- 3:06money is basically giving God the money.
- 3:08And if you give God the money, God's
- 3:10going to give it back to you 10 times
- 3:12more." What's unfortunate about this is
- 3:14this typically works with people who are
- 3:16extremely vulnerable, who are extremely
- 3:17poor, down on their luck. And it works
- 3:19for people who are really lazy and don't
- 3:21want to do anything. I'm in no way
- 3:22calling poor people lazy. I'm saying
- 3:24these are different groups of people who
- 3:27are attracted to this sort of thing. If
- 3:28you feel completely hopeless, this
- 3:30sounds good to you. That if I can go
- 3:33give my last few dollars to God, and
- 3:35then God in turn is going to give it
- 3:37back 10-fold like it's some sort of
- 3:38investment. If I'm down on my luck and I
- 3:40can't pay my bills and I can barely feed
- 3:42myself, that might work on me. When
- 3:43people are vulnerable, they're more
- 3:45susceptible to these types of
- 3:47influences. When people don't really
- 3:48know how to create the life that they
- 3:50want to live, they feel like they have
- 3:51no agency. They have no control over
- 3:52their themselves or their lives. So,
- 3:54they reach for something called hope.
- 3:56And that sounds really good to a lot of
- 3:57people. A lot of people think that hope
- 3:58is a really good thing. I don't agree
- 3:59with that. Hope is something you reach
- 4:01for when you're hopeless. Hope is
- 4:03something you reach for when you feel
- 4:04like you have no power and you feel
- 4:06completely disempowered. When you reach
- 4:08for hope and you try to use hope, it
- 4:09just disempowers you further because
- 4:12you're basically saying to yourself that
- 4:14I don't have control. I don't have
- 4:15agency. So, I'm going to hope. I don't
- 4:17know what to do or I don't want to do
- 4:18the things that I need to do to get what
- 4:19I want. So, I'm just going to sit around
- 4:21and hope for it. It's okay to hope for
- 4:23things that you don't have control over
- 4:24like I hope it doesn't rain today. I
- 4:26hope the war in Ukraine ends tomorrow. I
- 4:28hope for those things because I have no
- 4:30control over them. But, I'm also quite
- 4:31well aware of what I do have control
- 4:33over, what I do have agency over, and
- 4:35that's my actions and that's my
- 4:36decisions. If you're reaching for hope
- 4:38for your life, to create the life that
- 4:40you want to live, to become the person
- 4:42that you want to become, you are
- 4:43completely disempowering yourself. Start
- 4:45focusing on what is it you can do. And
- 4:47you don't have to have it all figured
- 4:48out. You don't have to know all the
- 4:49steps. But, you want to know what is it
- 4:50that you want and how do I start moving
- 4:53myself in that direction? And it's not
- 4:54going to be just from visualizing. What
- 4:56manifestation has become is basically a
- 4:58mega church, but there's no actual
- 5:00church. It's on the internet and this
- 5:02guru is going to tell you how to win the
- 5:03lottery. You just need to vibrate on the
- 5:05right frequency. And if you do it right,
- 5:06then you're going to win the lottery
- 5:07even though this person who's teaching
- 5:09you that has never won the lottery
- 5:10themselves. You give this person tons of
- 5:12money and nothing happens. Why? Because
- 5:14the lottery is a game of chance. There
- 5:16is no vibrating. There is no way to bend
- 5:18the universe to your will to make you
- 5:21win the lottery. And when that doesn't
- 5:22happen and you go back and complain to
- 5:23them about it and you say, "Hey, it
- 5:25didn't happen." They're just going to
- 5:26blame you and say, "Well, your vibration
- 5:28wasn't high enough and your frequency
- 5:29wasn't high enough. But, if you give me
- 5:30more money, I'll show you how to get
- 5:32that frequency there so that you're
- 5:34finally vibrating on that right
- 5:35frequency." And it's all about just keep
- 5:37giving them more and more money so that
- 5:38they can deliver on something that they
- 5:40can't possibly deliver on and will never
- 5:42deliver on. And when they don't deliver
- 5:43on it,
- 5:44they just blame you. So, how do we
- 5:46actually manifest? Well, I will break
- 5:49down what I did with my wife. It's
- 5:50something I've done many times for
- 5:52myself. Doing it with my wife was the
- 5:54first time I had done it with someone
- 5:55else. You can actually do this with
- 5:57other people. If you have a spouse or
- 5:59you have a business partner, I would
- 6:00highly recommend that you get together
- 6:01with them and work on this because a
- 6:03marriage with a vision is very powerful.
- 6:05A business with a compelling vision is
- 6:07very powerful. Before I get into this,
- 6:09if you want a PDF where I walk you
- 6:11through this step-by-step in the
- 6:12description below this video, you will
- 6:14find a link to a free PDF or scan this
- 6:16QR code. First, listen to my overview
- 6:18here where I explain everything, then
- 6:20get the PDF, walk through each step
- 6:23doing them, creating your vision, and if
- 6:25you need to, come back to this video for
- 6:26more explanation. And if you're still
- 6:28having trouble, leave a comment below or
- 6:30ask a question. I will reply to you.
- 6:32You don't have to start off with a goal,
- 6:33you can actually just start by taking an
- 6:35area of your life. So, it could be that
- 6:36business, could be your marriage, could
- 6:38be your career, or you can start with a
- 6:39goal, and you elicit the values behind
- 6:42what it is that you want. Most of our
- 6:44values are deeply unconscious. Most
- 6:45people think they know their values, but
- 6:47they don't. So, you want to elicit them
- 6:48from your unconscious. And how you do
- 6:50that is you ask a simple question. When
- 6:53you know what it is that you want,
- 6:54whatever the goal is, you ask yourself,
- 6:55"What's important to me about this? What
- 6:57will this do for me if I get it?" With
- 7:00my wife, I said, "What's important to
- 7:02you in a relationship?" And she started
- 7:03giving me answers. And every time she
- 7:04gave me an answer, I'd say, "Oh, that's
- 7:06interesting. Well, what's important to
- 7:07you about that? Or what would that do
- 7:08for you?" More answers kept coming. And
- 7:10so, this is where the values start
- 7:11coming out, and you want to make sure
- 7:13that you write these down. Once you have
- 7:14all of your values, then you're going to
- 7:16imagine there's a blank canvas in front
- 7:17of you. And this canvas represents this
- 7:19area of your life. So, if it's a goal,
- 7:21the goal is still in the context of your
- 7:23life. If it's a business goal or a
- 7:24marriage goal, the context is your
- 7:25marriage or your business or your
- 7:27career. Or you might have even just
- 7:28started eliciting your values from this
- 7:30context of your life without the goal.
- 7:32All of that's fine. You see the blank
- 7:33canvas that represents this area of your
- 7:35life, and then one by one, you ask
- 7:37yourself, "Well, what would it be like
- 7:38if I had this in this area of my life?"
- 7:40Let's say this is marriage, like my
- 7:42marriage, and my wife had told me,
- 7:44"Well, she wants to be happy."
- 7:46So, great. Okay, and what does happiness
- 7:48look like in this area of your life?
- 7:50Just let your mind show it to you. Don't
- 7:52try to force it. Just let the images
- 7:53come. Just ask yourself, "What would
- 7:55this look like in my life?" It might be
- 7:56passion [snorts]
- 7:57or love or success and achievement. So,
- 8:00you just ask yourself, "What does this
- 8:01look like?" And you just keep adding one
- 8:02value after another, allowing the values
- 8:06to consolidate. They come together. They
- 8:08don't sit separately on the canvas. They
- 8:10come together. Now, this can be very
- 8:12abstract or you could have specific
- 8:13details. Don't worry about how it's all
- 8:15coming out. You have complete creative
- 8:18freedom here. Just let your mind show it
- 8:19to you. You're creating a vision and
- 8:21that vision is basically a consolidation
- 8:23of all of your values. So, as you're
- 8:25seeing this take shape in front of you,
- 8:27it becomes very compelling, very
- 8:29motivating. You'll even start to feel
- 8:30like there's a there's a pull toward the
- 8:33vision like it you want to like it wants
- 8:34to suck you into it, but don't jump into
- 8:36it. Stay out of it. And then add an
- 8:39image of yourself, the ideal you who's
- 8:41actually living this vision. So, you see
- 8:43that and you want to become that you.
- 8:45You want to become that person. This is
- 8:46what cultivates motivation. Now, a lot
- 8:48of the law of attraction people will
- 8:50tell you, "Well, jump inside of it.
- 8:51Pretend like you already have it." Do
- 8:52not do that. If you want to jump into it
- 8:54and get a sense of what it feels like,
- 8:55that's fine. Go ahead and do that. And
- 8:56sometimes that can be useful cuz you can
- 8:58jump into it and you can gather more
- 9:00information that you might not have had.
- 9:01You can get in there and imagine like
- 9:02what what would it be like if I already
- 9:03had this and how did I get here? That
- 9:05can give you some useful information,
- 9:07but if you stay there, you will kill
- 9:08your motivation. So, make sure you step
- 9:10back out of the vision and see yourself.
- 9:11See that ideal you who is actually
- 9:13living that vision. And this becomes
- 9:15extremely compelling as you want to move
- 9:17toward that you, to become that you, and
- 9:19to live this vision. You don't want to
- 9:21delude yourself into believing that this
- 9:23has already happened. This does not help
- 9:25you. I know people are out there
- 9:26teaching that and they're actually
- 9:27telling you to like brainwash yourself
- 9:29and pretend like it's already happened,
- 9:31like you've already won the lottery. If
- 9:32you could really do that, then you would
- 9:33have no motivation to actually move
- 9:35toward this thing and achieve this
- 9:37thing. But the truth is, there's a part
- 9:38of you deep down inside that knows
- 9:39better, that has to reconcile the truth
- 9:41of this. If you're trying to convince
- 9:42yourself it's already true, then you're
- 9:43just going to start fighting yourself.
- 9:45And if you could actually succeed in
- 9:46doing that, you would be in a mental
- 9:47institution, losing touch with reality
- 9:49is not going to get you what you want.
- 9:51It will certainly not help you manifest.
- 9:54So, the next thing you're going to do is
- 9:55check for resistance. You have your
- 9:57vision here, you see yourself in that
- 9:59vision, and then you ask yourself, "Do
- 10:01you have any objections to making this
- 10:03vision a reality? Do I have any part
- 10:05that's resisting making this happen?"
- 10:07Now, a lot of times there is resistance.
- 10:09Some people might say, "Well, why would
- 10:10I resist that?" A lot of people have
- 10:11fear, doubts. They might think, "Oh, if
- 10:13I try to do this and it doesn't work,
- 10:15I'm going to be disappointed. I might
- 10:16even be embarrassed." Often there is
- 10:18resistance to creating what we want. We
- 10:20don't want to push that away. This is
- 10:22important information. This is a part of
- 10:24you that's trying to tell you something.
- 10:25This is a part of you with a positive
- 10:27intention that is trying to fulfill for
- 10:28you. Don't try to discipline it away or
- 10:30will it away. You meet it where it is
- 10:32with acceptance. This is a part of you
- 10:34and all parts of you are valid. So, we
- 10:36want to find out what is its positive
- 10:37intention behind its resistance. We want
- 10:39to know what it has to say, what it
- 10:41wants us to know. And often this will
- 10:42come out stated in the negative, as in I
- 10:44don't want you to be disappointed or I
- 10:46don't want you to be embarrassed or
- 10:47hurt. We want to ask the question then,
- 10:48"What do you want for me instead?" We
- 10:50got to get this into a positive. We
- 10:51can't move toward a negative. So, we get
- 10:53it stated in the positive and sometimes
- 10:54we have to chunk up to higher values
- 10:56because it might not tell you as a
- 10:58value. But oftentimes it will. If it
- 10:59says, "Well, I don't want you to fail."
- 11:01You need to say, "Okay, well, what do
- 11:02you want for me instead?" And it says,
- 11:03"Well, I want you to succeed." And you
- 11:05go, "Okay, is success compatible with my
- 11:07vision?"
- 11:08Yeah, it probably is. Or it might say it
- 11:10wants you to be happy. Is happiness
- 11:11compatible with your vision? Yeah,
- 11:14definitely. You add that value to that
- 11:16vision. And sometimes you might already
- 11:17have that value in that vision. You
- 11:19might already have happiness and success
- 11:20in that vision. That's fine. Make sure
- 11:23you add that extra layer of it. There's
- 11:24a another dimension to happiness and
- 11:26success that this piece is trying to
- 11:28bring up for you. This part is trying to
- 11:29bring up for you. Now you keep doing
- 11:30this until there's zero resistance. Now
- 11:33imagine that. What do you think happens
- 11:35when you have a compelling vision in
- 11:37front of you with zero resistance? Well,
- 11:39I can tell you for one thing will happen
- 11:41is that vision will stay right there. It
- 11:43won't go away. It will stay there even
- 11:45when it becomes unconscious, meaning
- 11:47you'll consciously forget about it. And
- 11:49that's what you want because it becomes
- 11:50even more powerful when that happens
- 11:52because you're no longer negotiating
- 11:54this. It's like a person climbing a
- 11:55mountain. When they're climbing the
- 11:56mountain, they're focused on the next
- 11:58thing they need to do and the next
- 11:59thing. And every once in a while, yeah,
- 12:00they probably look up and do a little
- 12:01strategic planning about where they're
- 12:03going to go next, but they're not trying
- 12:04to climb the mountain by fixating on the
- 12:06peak. And that's what most people are
- 12:08doing when they have a vision. They even
- 12:09have a vision board or a goal. They're
- 12:11constantly fixating on it. That's just
- 12:12making it harder. You need to focus on
- 12:14what's the next step to get there. That
- 12:16vision will be there unconsciously
- 12:18guiding you in the right direction while
- 12:20you take the conscious steps to get
- 12:22there. And last but not least, you want
- 12:24to go back to that original goal that
- 12:25you were setting and check in. Does that
- 12:27goal actually align with the vision? And
- 12:30if it doesn't, you throw it out and you
- 12:32find a better goal that does align with
- 12:34the vision. Never, ever throw out your
- 12:36values or your vision for the sake of a
- 12:38goal. If you chase goals and achieve
- 12:40them when they're not aligned with your
- 12:42values, it will feel empty and you've
- 12:44probably experienced that before. You
- 12:45were chasing something for so long, you
- 12:47finally achieved it and you go, "That's
- 12:49it?" Like maybe it was exciting for an
- 12:51hour, maybe there was some relief
- 12:52involved, but then you were like, "Uh,
- 12:54that wasn't so good." That's clearly a
- 12:56goal that was not aligned with your
- 12:57values. When you have a goal that's
- 12:58aligned with your values, you're
- 13:00experiencing fulfillment every step of
- 13:02the way. If you're aligned with your
- 13:03values, you're enjoying the journey,
- 13:05you're growing with the journey, and
- 13:06feeling fulfilled and motivated
- 13:08throughout that journey. The goal itself
- 13:09is
- 13:10not a big deal. It's more about creating
- 13:12that vision, which is far bigger and far
- 13:13more powerful than a goal. Now, the next
- 13:15level of this is to not just chase the
- 13:18vision, not just chase goals. The next
- 13:21level is to actually become those values
- 13:23that you've elicited. Become those
- 13:25values as beliefs about yourself. Let's
- 13:28say you had values like success and
- 13:30happiness and passion, determination,
- 13:33and achievement. The next level is to
- 13:36now believe that about yourself, to
- 13:37transform those beliefs into certain and
- 13:40solid beliefs about who you are, that
- 13:41you are a happy person, a successful
- 13:43person, an achiever. And there's a
- 13:45step-by-step process to do this. It's
- 13:47not affirmations. There is actually a
- 13:49way to understand how you structure your
- 13:51beliefs so that you can transform any
- 13:53belief. And if you want to know more
- 13:54about that, you definitely want to check
- 13:56out this next video.
