Today I want to talk about a topic that is often ignored in the manifestation sphere and it is often the missing piece, the missing puzzle piece in so many people's lives when it comes to them trying to manifest their dreams and it might be the reason why at the moment you are not able to achieve the desired outcome that you truly want to achieve and
No, I am not talking about inspired action. I'm not talking about you receiving signs, synchronicities and serendipities directly from the universe. And of course also the direct downloads I always talk about and that I experience throughout the day all the time nowadays.
I'm not talking about you putting in action in the realm of you getting a business idea via a direct download and you then starting that business or you creating that video or you writing that book. That's of course also something that we have to focus on in the process of manifesting. Inspired action is a big part of it. But today I want to talk about a different type of action. Today I want to share with you why your actions
must reflect your desired manifestation and I want to take you back now to the year 2021 because in the year 2020 I had my rough spiritual awakening with a severe health issue and during this time I not only
tried to manifest my physical healing, which I eventually succeeded in. But I also tried to manifest money because for more than a decade as an entrepreneur, I was just struggling all the time. I wasn't making
anywhere close to the amount of money that I wanted to make. Most months I was making less than $1,000 and if I was really lucky I was making a little bit more than $1,000 a month and if I ever made more than $1,000 a month I lost it again because well my frequency was not in alignment with any amount of money that was above $1,000 a month and
I then wanted to manifest more money and I then studied the work of Neville Goddard, I studied the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza and I did his meditations every single day. I tuned into all these beautiful potentials and I basically followed the exact process that I also teach you in my eight-week one-on-one coaching program, the Abundance Reality Shift coaching program. And
Yes, things started to shift. I made more and more money. In fact, I doubled my income, then I tripled my income, then I quadrupled my income, and then I reached a point where things were stagnant.
I just couldn't reach more than, if I remember correctly back then, I was stuck at around $6,000, which of course was a huge, huge improvement for me from $1,000 to $6,000 a month. I mean, that was just insane. It was roughly between $6,000 and $7,000 if I remember correctly.
And then I had this conversation with my spiritual mentor, who's also a dear family member of mine. And she said something to me which, in the beginning, made me kind of angry. I mean, not just kind of, it made me angry because I didn't want to hear it. And this is a sentence that I often shared with you here on the podcast. And that's the following one. Money is energy and energy wants to flow.
Which means she encouraged me to give more, to also spend more on myself, to treat myself more, to good meals, to maybe even a little spa holiday or a better hotel or a better seat in an airplane. Like all these different things were in the realm of possibility for me. But I didn't do them because I was holding on to the money I was manifesting. And thereby I was still acting from a place of lack.
Because if I was truly abundant, and that's what she wanted me to realize, if I was truly abundant, I would spend more money, I would be more generous, I would give more. Because what do you in this specific example communicate to the universe?
If you go into the feeling of the wish fulfilled every day, if you go into the imaginal act every day, if you meditate, if you affirm, if you do everything right when it comes to the feelings and when it comes to the thoughts, when it comes to the realm of emotions, when it comes to the realm of your thoughts and beliefs, you do everything right.
But in this one area of your life, in this often ignored area of the action realm, you are still signaling to the universe that you are in lack, that you are in scarcity.
that will lead to you hitting a money ceiling. You won't be able to go above that. And that was exactly what happened to me back then. Because I did everything right when it comes to my beliefs, when it comes to my thoughts. I was observing my thoughts, I was changing my thoughts, I was repeating all day long, I am wealthy, I am rich, I make X amount of dollars each month. And I was meditating. I mean, to be honest, I was meditating my ass off. I was meditating a lot.
But the results didn't really, well, they didn't come, at least not in the way that I expected them and that I wanted them. And the reason was very simple. My actions were not in alignment with the frequency that I tried to reach.
Because I was holding on to the money. Just like Scrooge McDuck. I was like, no, no, I can't spend more on this. I'd rather choose the little bit less expensive meal. And I mean, things happened during this time that it's just crazy when I think about it now. I still remember how during that time I went to Barcelona, to Spain. And I booked the cheapest apartment I could find. And that was a big lesson from the universe, actually. I booked the cheapest apartment I could find. Wow.
which was right at a busy street. There was no noise isolation whatsoever. It was a room that was basically five square meters. And of course, Barcelona is crazy expensive. So it was like 1000 to 1500 euros a month that I booked back then the Airbnb in. And
I wanted to save money so desperately, even though I had already reached a point where I was making 6 or 7 thousand a month. I could easily afford a better apartment, but what ended up happening was that I then went to this shitty apartment, I couldn't sleep for two days, I then desperately searched for a new apartment because of the lack of sleep and the stress, I then got sick, and I mean, during this sickness I then lost more money than...
I, yeah, then I would have lost if I had just booked a really amazing place and enjoyed my holiday there. It was just so stupid. But that was my learning experience back then to get out of lack, to get out of scarcity.
And my spiritual mentor then said, I mean, what were you thinking? What were you doing? You already are in such a good place in your abundance. You could have easily gotten an apartment for 2000 or 3000 a month. And you could have enjoyed an amazing time in Barcelona instead of lying in bed sick.
And that was, yeah, well, that was a good learning experience back then. That's what we would call positive contrast, where in the end, it actually led to a really good realization. And I also talk about positive contrast, by the way, in my 11 Days to Manifestation Mastery program, which is my audio program, to which I recently included a brand new bonus, which is the Ultimate Guided Meditation and Guided Hypnosis Vault, with more than 60 guided meditations and guided hypnosis files. But anyway...
What I learned from this experience is: Don't book a shitty apartment in Barcelona because the isolation sucks. And also on top of that, I learned that my actions have to reflect
the frequency that I want to reach. Because the universe can only be generous to you if you are generous to other people and you can't be generous if you're hoarding the money. The universe can only be loving to you and give you a loving relationship if you are loving to yourself and also loving to others. I mean...
Now I talked about this example of money, which is of course a very tangible example, because in this moment you can realize, hopefully, that if you then climb the ladder of success and you manifest more and more money...
I mean, I don't mean that you should go all crazy and keep up with the Joneses and dive deep into lifestyle inflation and rent apartments that are way too expensive for you and buy five cars. That's not what I'm talking about. But adjust it a little bit. Signal to the universe that you are now abundant. Act like somebody who's abundant. I mean...
When we, for example, in week number three of my Abundance Reality Shift coaching program, go into the creation process of your new self, you also have to ask yourself, how does this new self behave? How does my Abundant Self behave? And back then, I didn't behave like the Abundant Self. I behaved like somebody who was completely based in lack. I still behaved.
like somebody who was making $1,000 a month, even though my reality was already based on me making $6,000 a month, and that's why it was impossible for me to reach $10,000 a month back then from this consciousness. And of course, don't get me wrong, in the beginning it felt a little bit weird to finally book my first...
business class flight and to finally book my first five-star hotel. Yes, I needed some time to adjust to it, but the only reason why I then reached this next level of abundance is because I allowed my actions to reflect my desired reality.
And again, I want to make that clear. I don't mean that you have to recklessly spend your money or spend more than you earn, but you have to at some point adjust it because your actions have to be a reflection of your desired reality. If this part is missing, you can
feel all day long and you can think all day long, but your life won't change, at least not to the point where you want it to change. Yes, you will experience some results and some success, just like I did back then, but at some point, if you want to reach the next level, you have to adjust your reality by adjusting your actions, because
you have to signal to the universe that you are already the abundant person. Because if you were the abundant person, you would act like an abundant person. And an abundant person doesn't rent the shittiest apartment in a city with zero isolation, with just five square meters, where you're cramped and you hear everything from the neighbors on the top floor down there, and you hear the street. An abundant person simply wouldn't do that.
And of course, by using this example of this apartment back then in Barcelona, I acted like somebody who was deeply rooted in scarcity. And the same is true, for example, if you think about manifesting a loving relationship,
And I know you are a good person, I'm pretty sure about it, but I want to make that clear. If you want to manifest a loving relationship and you then meditate and you feel love in your heart and you then affirm all day long, I'm in a fulfilling relationship, I'm in a happy relationship. And the first thing you do when you then go out into the world, into the physical reality, is to judge everybody and to...
hold a grudge against people and to not be loving, to not be forgiving, then your actions don't reflect your desired reality. And then this desired reality, at least not to the extent that you want it,
will not flow to you. It cannot flow to you. Because always remember, thoughts, feelings and actions have to build this beautiful triangle. They have to build this in itself closed concept.
where you focus on each and every corner. And if you miss the action part, then you won't achieve the level of success that you want to achieve. I've learned this the hard way in this tiny apartment in Barcelona. And I hope that you will learn the lesson now that you've listened to this episode.
