Because I am guided to give a free online program around the topic of Discovering and stepping into your Soul's Mission (So you can start living the abundant life you where meant to live) I am getting LOTS of downloads and new insights around this topic to share with you.

In this article, I am going to share one of the most important insights with you. But first this: Do you want to join this FREE online program?

You can sign up for the Dutch version HERE.

We start on May 29th.

The English version starts on June 11th. You can sign up HERE.

So, what I wanted to share with you in this article is that you are NOT living your Soul's Mission yet.

Even if you now think: "Yes, I am. I already KNOW what I am doing, and I am making good money doing it." I want to say to you: "No, the chance that you REALLY are living your Soul's Purpose in the way it's meant to be is not that big. There are not that many people on this planet that are living their Soul's Purpose the way it's meant to be lived. So, this message is still ALSO for you!"

What????

That's not really an inspiring or uplifting message, is it?

Well, actually it is.

It's a wake-up call.

It's an invitation to step into your Soul's Purpose even MORE then you are already doing now.

Yes, maybe you will feel some resistance, but that is ok.

Most people try to avoid resistance at all cause.

Most people HATE it to feel bad.

But there is SUCH a gift in resistance.

So take a deep breath and let all that resistance go and just be open to learning something today.

I will explain what gift there is in resistance and why NOT avoiding resistance will help you tremendously.

But first a little more about why you aren't (YET!) stepped into your Soul's Purpose yet.

So, this is what it comes down to: There is always a next step. ALWAYS.

You are never "there."

Expansion is infinite.

If people start to open up to Soul's Mission, it's all about learning what their Soul's Mission is.

They get to learn how to actually make money doing what they are here on earth to do.

They learn to take action despite their fears and self-doubt.

They learn about manifestation and alignment.

The next step for most people is stepping further into their Soul's Mission. They learn how to get out of their own way.

They learn how to show up every day, regardless if they are or aren't "feeling it."

They learn to delegate, say no, put up loving boundaries, and deal with criticism.

They learn to structure the ways that money comes in so that they can have a deeper sense of peace and ease when it comes to money.

They learn business skills, money manifesting and sales, and marketing skills.

They not only mentally know how the Law of Attraction works, but they start FEELING it on a deeper level.

The next step is to not only want a way to make money with your Soul's Purpose but to REALLY make an impact.

In this stage, a lot of powerful creators get the desire to build, what I call a Mission Empire.

They have experienced that creating their business around their Soul's Mission is actually possible, and they start asking themselves the question: "What else is possible?"

They learn high level manifesting and business building skills.

They learn how to grow their reach and have processes in place to ensure that they leverage their time and still get their clients the results that they desire.

They really KNOW their value now, and most insecurities and fears fell away. Because they actively focus their thoughts and attention.

By now, most powerful creators have learned that reality is nothing more then an illusion and they can choose to focus on lack or abundance or love or fear, and they get either,

There is one thing not a lot of people do (YET!)

I notice there is BIG resistance in doing this one thing.

But this is what I have learned: If you do this one thing, it will help you solve all of your money stress.

Besides .... have you ever noticed that you could learn the most from the stuff you have the most resistance at? That there is always a lesson and a BIG shift behind the resistance?

If you KEEP doing this one thing and incorporate it in your Alignment practice, it will help you create more then you ever thought was possible.

I have been practicing this for years. And I know about it for years, but there was resistance to REALLY committing to this thing.

But now that I am committed to it, my whole reality has changed. Maybe not even from the outside in, but DEFINITELY from the inside out.

I feel SO balanced and in control and full of faith these last couple of months.

I had been stuck with my business for over a year, and now it's flowing again like never before.

I get idea after idea that generates more followers or clients and more value to the people who follow me.

I have a TON of energy to actually take the actions I want to take.

I have SO much faith now that I can easily make all the money I want to make AND do it exactly MY way: with lots of space to write and create and do my energy readings and spent time with my family and friends.

And I know that if I am sharing what this one thing is with you in a couple of seconds, your first thoughts may be: "Ohhhh. Is THAT it? I KNOW about this. I am already DOING this."

But honestly?

No. Most people AREN'T doing this.

And IF they are doing it, it's only for a couple of moments or for one or two areas of their lives, not for everything. Not ALL the time.

And I KNOW because I am not even doing it THAT hardcore, but I will. Because I see what it is bringing me.

So what is THE most important thing that will heal most of your Money stress?

And will help you manifest everything in your life that is everything you need to get the most out of your life?

Surrender.

Surrender your Money problems to The Divine.

I call it God.

But I know that a lot of people have resistance against this word. So to increase the chance that you will actually HEAR what I have to say, I use the word Source.

You can also use the word Universe, higher self or life or whatever feels aligned for you.

I have been reading an amazing book these last couple of months:

"It's not your money." by Tosha Silver.

It has SUCH a strong message.

We are Source manifested in physical body's.

We create our reality by projecting our beliefs and awareness onto our physical reality.

We aren't our body's.

We ARE consciousness.

We ARE Source.

I teach people how they can live in alignment. But what does that even mean?

You are in alignment, or something is aligned if your energy or what you desire is also what Source desires for you.

And again: you ARE Source.

You are everything.

So it's not that something, or an energy or a "spiritual being" or a "spiritual force" has power over you.

But here comes the tricky thing.

Because if people would surrender, they would see the perfection in everything.

Source doesn't make mistakes.

Whatever your money situation is now, it's PERFECT for you to learn all the lessons you need to learn and get wherever your Soul wants to lead you.

And there comes your Ego.

Instantly trying to convince you that this is not true. Saying things to you like:

"How could SURRENDER lead to more money?

Shouldn't we just WORK more or work HARDER?

If it was so simple,

So, I think, this is the number one manifesting mistake people make:

They see the Universe as a Vending Machine.

The ask for what they want, with other words: put in a euro in the vendingmachine, and the Universe delivers.

And Yes, yes yes, technically, if you strip EVERYTHING away, that IS how it works: ask, and it is given.

BUT that is only if there is no resistance between the ask and it is given part.

And with most people, there IS resistance — a LOT of it.

And you have to clean that up to become a vibrational match with what you asked for before you can experience it in your reality.

So this is what I see happen a lot:

People ask for what they want.

They do positive affirmations, make a vision board or visualize.

They "try" to think positive.

Or they just tell themselves a story that they ARE doing the work and ARE taking actions. But they are only taking practical actions and aren't really willing to go within and go deep.

And then what they want doesn't come.

And they get mad and frustrated.

They say things like:

What am I doing wrong?

I am doing my affirmations and thinking positive and doing the work, and still, it's not here.

BUT .... the Universe is not a vending machine.

You don't "just" put in a euro (a positive affirmation or a positive thought or a wish) and then what you want comes out.

If only it where that simple haha.

No, this is how it DOES work:

You ask for what you want.

The Universe triggers the F*ck out of you and brings situations and emotions to strip away all negative beliefs, dissolves the Ego-self, and blocks you from taking actions that are not in alignment with the vibration of what you are asking for.

And only if you are willing to go through it and NOT give up, THEN you get what you ask for.

Only if you KEEP finding alignment and grow PAST all the limitations you encounter, THEN you get what you ask for.

Most people give up WAY before that.

And I GET that.

It's SO much easier to just give up sometimes.

Spiritual teacher Bentihno Massaro also calls this a day 2 moment.

He describes 3 phases when it comes to manifesting something. It doesn't necessarily have to be on day 1, day 2 and day 3, but that's how he calls it.

Day 1: You ask for something.

Day 2: The Universe brings challenges on your path to ask you: "Are you sure you want this?" Because you haven't fully shifted your energy yet.

And then you can say: "Yes, I do" or "No I don't."

Day 3: When you say: "yes, I do," and you are willing to do what it takes, what you want to manifest arrives.

When you get scared or whatever and back away or sabotage, it doesn't come.

An example:

I interviewed Bentinho Massaro a couple of years ago. It was an amazing interview about money and spirituality.

Did you see it? You can watch it HERE on my youtube channel.

(And don't forget to subscribe.)

When I asked for the interview, I didn't really expect him to say yes. In my eyes, he was this big spiritual teacher, and I was JUST starting out with my business. But for some reason, he DID say yes. And I got EXTREMELY nervous in the weeks leading up to the interview. I was totally in my head about it. And what happened was that they postponed the interview because Bentinho was sick. But he was only in the Netherlands for a couple of days. So I got really scared that I didn't get the chance to interview him.

And at that moment I felt that I REALLY wanted to do it. Despite of my fear, I wanted it SO bad! So I affirmed to the Universe that I really wanted it and that I was willing to do what it took and shift into that energy where I was brave and willing to step up my...

In this interview, I am talking with Martijn Dieleman.

Martijn is an Ex-olympian, a professional volleyball player for 13 years, converted into an author and spiritual life coach.

We talked about his spiritual awakening and the contrast between the discipline needed as a professional athlete and the life he lives now.

Martijn shares his views on how he looks at this reality, and we also talk about oneness and unconditional love.

So, if you are following me for a little bit longer, you know a LOT went on in my life last year.

Every time I thought I was done with going through a business or a personal transformation, something else presented itself.

With the most transformative event the break-up I experienced 6 weeks ago.

It really turned my life upside down.

And we ALL go through these experiences whether it's a breakup, an illness, someone leaving your life, a business transformation, bankruptcy or whatever.

It's the kind of experience that leaves you shaken to your core.

Everything you thought was real, seems like it isn't real anymore.

Everything you thought was important, doesn't seem to be important anymore.

It leaves you with SO many questions.

On the inside, you can suddenly feel like you stepped into a new reality. And in the beginning a NOT so fun reality.

EVERYTHING inside you just wants to go back to the day that ALL was ok.

The day you were still together.

The day you hadn't heard this Soul shocking news.

The day you were still healthy (at least, you thought you were.)

Or whatever your big upset was all about.

But you can't go back.

Whatever you try, it seems that the door to the past is closed.

You can't GET there anymore.

You need to figure out your life again in this new situation.

But how the hell do you do that? In this blog, I will give you some tips!

1. Know what this Soul Shock is all about.

That's exactly what it is: a SOUL wake up call.

Your Soul is ready for the next step.

Your SOUL wants to be at the steering wheel instead of your Ego.

We live in a time that the Ego is slowly dissolving.

But we, as humans, are SO used to living from our Ego selves.

But the ONLY way we can evolve as a collective consciousness is as we start living from Soul more and more instead of Ego.

Most problems in the world are caused because people are living from Ego. And a LOT of us want a transformation.

This Soul Shock is YOUR chance to step up to the plate, let go of your Ego a little bit more and connect to your Soul more.

Every powerful creator knows we are going through an enormous shift.

We are making the shift from living from fear to living from a place of love.

SACRIFICING yourself is NOT living from love. It's ALL your Ego.

Your Ego wants to be needed and wants to be important and in control and wants to do the "right" thing.

But what exactly IS the right thing?

Is it the "right thing" to do to go to a Soul-Sucking job every day while you know your passion lies somewhere else?

WHY do you do that?

Because you are scared that the money will dry out?

Because you are scared, you can't pay the bills?

I DON'T want to underestimate how hard these struggles can be. I have BEEN there.

But if you want to move BEYOND the illusion of fear, you need to change SOMETHING.

And I GET how hard this is.

I ALSO had these fears when I quit my job.

These fears STILL come up every time I shift something in my business.

And I also REALLY didn't want to let go of the relationship I had with this man. ALL I wanted to do was just get him back. But the more I pulled and resisted him leaving me and dwell in my upset, the more he pushed me away. Until there was NOTHING left to do for me, then surrender and let go of my expectations.

This is what my Soul Said to me:

"You have to live for YOU.

You have given enough validation of your love for him.

You are an amazing and wonderful person with such a big heart and so much to give. It's time to step into your FULL potential.

So the topic of this blog is all about letting go.

If you are into manifesting, you will hear people say this a lot: "Let it go."

(Who else is now singing the Frozen song in its head? Haha. Or is it just me?)

So what does that mean? Letting go?

How can you "let go" of something that you want REALLY bad?

And how does that work? You have to align with it AND let it go at the same time?

That's confusing for a lot of people. So in this blog, I will explain some more about it.

So no, you don't have to let go of the desire.

You can use all the alignment tools in the world, all you want, as long as it lifts up your vibration.

As soon as alignment tools lower your vibration and get you in a state of attachment and pulling and pushing, you need to create more space for yourself.

When people think about letting something go (or someone), they think about "giving up."

It's NOT about that! AT ALL.

So what DO you need to let go of?

1. Let go of any attachment you feel around your desire.

It will BE there when you are an energetic match with your desire.

So you can pull at it in the 3D (In your physical reality) ALL you want, but if you are not in alignment with what you want, it's NOT going to show up.

Or not the way you really want it to be there.

So let go of the attachment.

Turn inwards.

For example: if you want that Soul fulfilling relationship and it's not in your reality yet.

Relax, turn inwards.

Love YOURSELF. Stop NEEDING it.

Become ONE with love.

Open up your heart.

Follow your passion.

Raise your frequency.

And then take the aligned actions you feel called to take.

Go to places to meet people if you feel CALLED to go there.

Sign up for a dating site if you feel CALLED to sign up.

The same goes for manifesting money.

Do you want more money and isn't it there yet?

Relax.

Let go of your outer (3D) reality where the money is NOT there.

Turn inwards.

Be grateful for the money that IS already there.

Let the energy of money flow through you.

Heal ALL the blocks and limiting beliefs that stand between you and the amount of money you want to receive.

Become in alignment with what you want to manifest.

Follow your purpose and your passion.

Raise your money frequency.

Take the aligned actions you feel called to take.

SERVE people and show up in your business. EVERY single day. That's ALL making money is about. Show up for people in the most valuable way, and they will "thank you" with giving you money.

It will be there at exactly the right time at exactly the right moment!

It's not the PURPOSE of this reality that everything shows up in an instant. People aren't THERE yet. We have too many fragmented thoughts, and we don't know ourselves well enough for instant manifestations.

Because most people want something different every other minute. What if EVERYTHING you wanted in every second showed up instantly? It would be ONE big mess.

The fact that manifesting is a process and you can adjust your desires and your energetic frequency, is NOT a mistake. You NEED this. It's designed that way so you can LEARN to focus your attention and grow your awareness. This is the way you learn HOW to manifest stuff.

And instant manifestations become more frequent if you KNOW yourself and you are more in alignment with who you are and what you want. Because your focus is less fragmented and therefore you are more and more asking for things that you are already in alignment with.

2. Let go of the bigness of it and the belief that it is difficult.

If you see your desire as something that is "big" or d...

When in the journey of manifesting something, we often tend to look at what is NOT there. And then it could be that the amount of resistance we have for it NOT being there yet, grows.

And that resistance keeps your desire EXACTLY where it is now: NOT in your reality.

And that's ok. Because it's really NOT at all about manifesting "the thing" (or the person.) It's about the journey we make on our way to manifestation.

It's about the person we become and the growth of our consciousness.

Our desires guide us on our spiritual journey. But the ego makes you think it's about "the thing."

The "mistakes" we make when it comes to this topic are these:

1. The belief that we "need" the thing we want to become happy.

2. That the desire is something that shows up outside of us.

3. That we are doing something "wrong" if it's not there yet.

And in this blog, I want to explain a little bit more about this.

Because if you DON'T know how this works, it's easy to blame yourself, become frustrated and keep living in "lack-consciousness." And all that makes it even harder for your Soul desire to show up.

1. You never "need" anything.

Your ego can REALLY trick you into believing you "need" anything.

But have you ever noticed that, if you want something REALLY bad, that it is just NOT showing up?

You are tugging at it, pulling at it. Maybe even praying for it to come into your life.

You are using EVERY manifesting tool you have ever learned, and STILL, it's not showing up.

I hear it ALL the time from my clients: "Maartje, I am doing EVERYTHING right. WHY isn't it HERE yet?"

Should you then just GIVE UP on what you want to manifest?

No!

You should SURRENDER to it.

It will get there when it gets there.

It will arrive at the PERFECT time.

It's NOT about the thing.

You don't NEED anything to become complete, whole or happier. You already have ALL of that inside of you.

Because:

2. What you want is already inside of you.

Most people are continually looking OUTSIDE of themselves to manifest what they want to manifest.

But if you feel on a soul level that what you want to manifest is already a PART of you, it will just show up. You don't need to work hard or pull out all the stops.

JUST do the inner work of aligning to what you want and take aligned actions from THAT space of being.

I will go deeper into how this works in the free training I am giving this week (Sign up link is at the bottom of the blog.)

So if you feel you are "missing" something and you feel that "lack energy," go inside.

Ask yourself the question: "How would I feel if this would already be in my life?"

And just GIVE yourself that feeling.

Because you are not missing the thing, you are longing for the feeling that you think the thing will give you.

Do you want more money?

Why?

What do you think that money will bring you?

Maybe freedom?

How does that FEEL for you?

And align with that feeling a couple of minutes. Think about some stuff you have in your life that already gives you that same feeling.

Go inwards EVERY TIME you feel you are "searching" for your desire in the "outside" world.

NOTHING you want is found in the outside world.

The outside world is a reflection of your inner world: of your energy field.

So, that brings me to point 3:

3. You are NOT doing something wrong of your desire hasn't shown up yet.

You aren't being "punished."

It doesn't mean you aren't a powerful creator at heart.

It doesn't mean it's not meant to be. (ONLY if you feel it in your heart.)

Or WHATEVER strange conclusion you want to make...

In this blog, I want to talk to you about leadership. VIBRATIONAL leadership.

When it comes to manifesting what you want, this is SUCH an important topic. And it's going to help you TREMENDOUSLY to get a breakthrough in what you are manifesting.

So, for most people, when it comes to getting what they want, they become reactive to the circumstances or reactive to their own thoughts and feelings. That's NOT going to help you in manifesting your big dreams.

YOU need to be the leader of your vibration and your creations.

So what does that mean?

1. Take complete ownership of your alignment and what you have created.

Nothing happens by "change." And then I mean literally NOTHING.

You create everything in your life with your vibration and your energy field.

You have to take complete ownership over how you think, feel and what you experience.

It's never someone else's fault that you haven't created what you want to create.

Because ALL these people are in YOUR reality.

There is something inside of YOU that attracted these people.

So the question is: what beliefs do you have that manifested this?

Sometimes you have to dig DEEP when it comes to this.

(Sidenote: Just after writing this down, I got a HUGE insight of my own around why I am not (YET!) creating what I want to create on 2 area's of my life that are SUPER closely linked: Money and love. (Money is Love, remember?)

OMG, this feels SUPER big for me. Yeah on writing my own blogs haha.)

So when you figure out what your belief is, what do you then DO with that?

2. Change your belief.

Tell yourself a different story around what you believe.

Write down a different story and start REALLY believing and feeling that story.

Especially FEELING it.

Let the new story become part of YOU, of every cell of your body, of your WHOLE energy field.

It helps to get coaching around this, to investigate if the new story is 100% in alignment (Join my Manifest Magically Academy!)

Because ONLY if something is 100% in alignment, it EASY for you to manifest.

If something is OUT of alignment, you can do EVERYTHING you want and EVERYTHING that is in your power, but it keeps feeling like pulling teeth and not getting ahead.

And these are a couple of other things that are important to know when it comes to taking leadership of your Creations:

3. The way you do anything is the way you do everything.

You CAN'T be a leader when creating your business and then stay in the victim mode and think you are dependent on your partner or the government for income.

You CAN'T be a leader with your creative project and then "wait" till you have inspiration. You have to CREATE inspiration.

You CAN'T make all the money you want and then "wait" till clients come. YOU have to become SO DAMN magnetic for them that they don't want to be with ANYBODY else!

The way you do anything is the way you do everything.

NOTHING is separate from each other.

If you are reactive and dependent in ONE area of your life, you are reactive and dependent in ALL areas of your life.

You might not want to look at it like that, but believe me, this is just the way it is.

You may want to tell yourself EVERY possible story to think that this is ok. I sure do. But it's NOT ok.

Either you want what you want, and you are willing to BE that person on ALL area's of your life, OR you have to stop torturing yourself, give up your dreams and choose for a mediocre life, because you are just never going to get there like this.

Well, I SURELY don't want to do that. And I'll bet neither are you!

It's your LIFES PURPOSE we are talking about here!!!!!

So, this is one of the most important lessons I have ever learned, and I would LOVE to share it with you.

I had to learn this lesson a MILLION times before, and I guess I will need to learn it a couple of times more. But that's ok.

Just KNOWING how this works, can change a LOT for you.

One of my qualities is that I always see the good in people.

And most of the time that brings me SO much good stuff.

And other times it gets me into trouble.

It's also what my boss always used to say to me when I was still in my day job: "Maartje, you always see possibilities in people."

And yes, I do.

I look at people a lot from the place of their Souls perspective.

I can always see their potential.

And maybe you recognize this.

But a lot of the time people aren't there yet, and maybe they will never get there, and perhaps it's not even possible for them.

That's why it's important to look at people's BEHAVIOUR when co-creating with them on the physical level.

I learned this lesson from Oprah Winfrey. And she learned it from Maya Angelou. This is the quote that has always stuck with me:

"When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

~Maya Angelou

Remember this because it will happen many times in your life. When people show you who they are the first time believe them. Not the 29th time. When a man doesn't call you back the first time, when you are mistreated the first time, when someone shows you lack of integrity or dishonesty the first time, know that this will be followed many many other times, that will some point in life come back to haunt or hurt you. Live your life in truth. Don't pretend to be someone you're not. You will survive anything if you live your life from the point of view of truth. -- Oprah Winfrey."

I always say truth is the highest vibration. I also talked about this in module 8 of the FREE Ultimate manifesting program. You can access all the modules HERE.

And when you are entirely truthful with yourself about what you want, desire and about who you ARE and you start honoring that truth, your WHOLE Universe becomes differently.

And I KNOW that can be the most challenging thing there is. Because that probably means you have to let go of things and people that aren't working for you.

I experienced the same thing with my husband when I decided to separate from him.

There where a couple of things that I really desired when it came to a partner relationship. And we have had discussions about it a LOT of times. I told him what I longed for. And of course, he did his best to change. And then it WAS different for about a day or maybe a couple of days, and then he fell back into his old behavior.

And it was also the other way around. He also wanted things from me that I couldn't give him. And of course, I also did the best I could to give him these things, but in trying that I felt empty and removed from my true self.

And eventually felt resentment because I felt he was pushing me to be someone I was not. Well, of course, HE didn't do that, but that is the way I felt at that moment.

Since I have admitted to myself that he will never be THAT person and I am no longer wanting him to be that person a weight has been lifted of my shoulders.

Of course, also admitting to myself that I simply can't be THAT person for HIM and HE has to find that with someone else, has also really liberated me. And HIM too.

We had some deep and sometimes hard conversations about it. The first two weeks, almost every day. But since about a week, we are at peace with the new situation.

And our relationship has grown into something we are both SO grateful with.

Now we both have the change to connect with people who DO embody all the qualities we have been looking for.
