It was 2013. My then-husband brought home the documentary The Secret from a client, and I honestly thought nothing of it. Little did I know that movie would go on to plant seeds in my subconscious and would single-handedly be the “thing” that woke me.

The first few times I watched it, I admit that I was extremely judgmental. Who were these people and were they for real? Can my life really be like this? It took me a while to catch on. But I eventually did.

“The world is yourself pushed out. Ask yourself what you want and then give it to yourself! Do not question how it will come about; just go your way knowing that the evidence of what you have done must appear, and it will.” ~ Neville Goddard

Everything happens because of our own assumptions: how people treat us, the jobs we have, our health situation, the state of the world around us, etc., etc. Nothing happens by accident. Nothing.

So what it is that you want? And I mean really want. This is the first step to succeeding at this whole manifesting thing. You actually have to know what it is that you want, which is more difficult than it seems. See, when you…
