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...
