Ever wonder why you don’t have some of the things you think you want?

For instance why aren’t you rich yet?  Or thin?  Or why don’t you have that new car or home you’ve been trying to manifest?  It could be that you aren’t really on board with those very things you keep saying you want.

Yeah yeah…. I know you’ve heard that before.  And one way to tell if you’re truly ready to actually have those things is to think about how you feel about them when OTHER PEOPLE have them.

Did I lose you just now?  Ok let me explain it another way:

You can’t have the thing you want if you don’t like it when others have it.

For instance, say you want to be rich.  Really, really, millionaire rich!  So rich that you couldn’t possibly spend all your money even if you tried! Feels pretty good huh?

Now stop for a moment and think about how you feel about the super rich?  What is your opinion of them?  What do you say when you talk about them?  For many people it’s something like:

• Those super rich people are such show offs with all their fancy homes and toys and such.
• Mary is going to be at the party today? *groan* I can’t stand how she goes on and on about her latest plastic surgery.  She’s so flamboyant and such a show off… Makes me not even want to go.
• Yeah I know he’s filthy rich but he’s such a jerk. I heard that he cheated his own parents to get where he is.
• Isn’t it terrible how they didn’t contribute to our cause.  They’re sooooo rich!  I really hate how rich people are such tightwads!
• Look at that car… no one “needs” a car like that!  That’s just wasteful!

See how that’s in direct conflict with what you say you want?  On one hand you want to be rich and on the other you hate everything about it.  No wonder money isn’t falling out of the sky into your pockets!

So the next time you decide to manifest something, spend a little time observing how you talk about others who have what you want.  If your words aren’t full of genuine support and appreciation then maybe it’s time to work on those inner feelings that are keeping you in conflict with your outer desires.
