When manifesting is begging

I realized why manifestion-style affirmations seldom worked for me.

Whatever variation of “Earn $10k per month” I wrote, it seldom stuck, and often felt like something was off.

Because I was begging.

I was simply begging for it in the most earnest and optimistic way, framed fancily as “manifesting”. But the begging projected scarcity and lack. It’s like the insecure dude hanging around the cool crowd trying to be cool. Everyone can see through it. The everyone in this case is the Universe.

Manifesting was just fancy begging dressed up in positivity.

I’ll tell you when manifestation and affirmations worked for me. It worked as an occasional visual reminder, while I worked and acted and lived life as per normal, without expectations, without hyping myself up, without trying so hard at manifesting. Every time I manifested something for real, it was from doing that. And it happens almost naturally though magically, but the reaction isn’t shock but quiet acknowledgement.

And a gentle smile.

So, don’t beg, just live it.
