1
Most people never manifest what they want.
2
And it's not because they're not trying, but because they're doing it completely backwards.
3
They visualize for two minutes, they hope for a miracle, and then wonder why their life still feels stuck, stressful, or just out of alignment.
4
The manifestation isn't about luck.
5
It's not magic.
6
It's a skill.
7
And when you finally learn how to do it correctly, you become addicted to it because it finally starts working for you
8
and it does feel like magic when it starts to happen.
9
And today I'm breaking down the exact process that changed my life when I felt broken, broke, and directionless.
10
And if you skip this video, you're going to miss the one shift
11
that flips manifestation from something you wish would happen to something you can create on command.
12
My name is Lewis Howes and let's go ahead and dive in.
13
The first section is all about why most people fail at manifestation.
14
You can't manifest from confusion.
15
And this is a big thing you need to understand.
16
Most people try to manifest from stress, scarcity, or emotional chaos.
17
And then they blame the universe when nothing changes.
18
But manifestation doesn't respond to anxiety.
19
It responds to alignment.
20
It responds to identity.
21
It responds to who you're being, not just what you're wishing for.
22
And this is so big.
23
I wish I knew this sooner.
24
When my football career ended, I was at one of the lowest moments in my life.
25
I was injured.
26
I had a surgery.
27
I was broke.
28
I was broken.
29
I was sleeping on my sister's couch and I was pretending I was going to be okay, but I wasn't.
30
I wanted success.
31
I wanted this thing in the future that I just didn't know how I hold on to.
32
I wanted purpose.
33
I wanted clarity, but I didn't have any of it.
34
And the reason I was struggling from manifesting is because I was manifesting from fear, the fear of failure, the fear of judgment,
35
the fear of being stuck forever.
36
It was like, I felt like I was suffocating
37
because I didn't know how to get out of this scarce moment in my life.
38
And when you manifest from fear, you simply attract more of that fear.
39
You attract more of what you're thinking about.
40
you draw that closer to you.
41
You see it everywhere because you're thinking fearful thoughts.
42
But when you manifest from scarcity, you attract more lack as well.
43
Nothing changed in my life until I shifted from wanting something to becoming someone.
44
Now, let me repeat this for you.
45
Nothing changed in my life until I shifted from wanting something that I didn't have to becoming someone.
46
And this is where things start to get interesting.
47
That's when manifestation started working.
48
And the first step that you need to focus on is get crystal clear on what you want.
49
This is everything.
50
If you can't clarify it, you can't create it.
51
If you're just living in scarcity and fear and thinking about all the things that you don't want, how are you going to create what you do want?
52
If you can't clarify, you can't create it.
53
Most people manifest vague wishes.
54
I want more money.
55
I want a better relationship.
56
I want to feel fulfilled.
57
But the universe doesn't respond to blurry signals.
58
It responds to intention and it responds to direction.
59
Cause and effect, you know, waiting for your healing to feel gratitude, waiting for your abundance to feel worthy or successful,
60
you know, waiting for your relationship to feel love you know the old model of reality of cause and effect
61
the new model of reality is causing an effect causing an
62
effect yeah the moment you feel gratitude your healing begins wow the moment you're empowered
63
and you're worthy you're stepping
64
or generating abundance you're stepping towards your success now the moment you're in love with yourself
65
and love with life and you see beauty and all things it's natural
66
that you'll you'll attract an equal so that's causing an effect right
67
and so um all you need is a clear intention
68
and an elevated emotion and when you combine that clear intention
69
and elevated emotion just like when a person is remembering the past
70
and feeling the emotion if you start holding the intention
71
and you feel the emotion the stronger the emotion you feel the more you remember the vision
72
and you can begin to remember your future i love this quote from dr joe dispense
73
that where he says all All you need is a clear intention and an elevated emotion.
74
And when you combine that clear intention and elevated emotion, just like when a person is remembering the past and the feeling of that emotion,
75
you start holding on that intention.
76
You feel the emotion, the stronger the emotion you feel, the more you remember the vision and you can begin to remember your future.
77
When I first heard him say this, it like blew my mind.
78
I was like, remember the future.
79
How do we remember something that hasn't happened yet?
80
A lot of us remember the past and we think about the clear memory of the past.
81
And then we have this elevated emotion linked and tied to that memory.
82
And when he taught this to me, I was like, wow, it blew my mind.
83
We could visualize a future, imagine a future and create an elevated emotion.
84
We send the signal out into the world and elevate our joy and excitement around that.
85
And then we fuse the memory of a future that hasn't happened yet.
86
That's how you bring it closer to you.
87
People tattooed remember the future on their arm after this interview.
88
And it just blew my mind because it's something we as humans, for whatever reason, we hold on to the memories of the past stronger
89
when they're painful than thinking about a beautiful future that we can create from our imagination and drawing that closer to us.
90
And that's where we needed to start things.
91
And when I first wrote down my vision for the school of greatness, what I've created here, this was over 13 years ago.
92
It wasn't perfect.
93
I wasn't sure exactly like how to make this perfect thing, but it was clear.
94
I was super clear that I wanted to serve people, that I wanted to reach a hundred million lives weekly, that I wanted to learn from the best,
95
that I wanted to share my wisdom of what I was learning from these experts, that I wanted to improve and grow every single day.
96
And by getting clear on that, man, year after year, it has grown and impacted the world in ways that I couldn't even imagine.
97
That clarity became a magnet.
98
It allowed me to book big guests.
99
It allowed me to be in rooms that I thought I shouldn't be in.
100
It allowed me to create opportunities that just fell into my lap.
101
And the more I showed up consistently, opportunities started finding me.
102
I didn't have to seek them.
103
They started finding me.
104
So I have a challenge for you.
105
I want you to write this statement right now.
106
You can write this in your phone.
107
You can write it down in a journal, but write this down in the next 12 months.
108
I am becoming the person who does this and whatever that does, this is for you.
109
I want you to write that thing.
110
I'm becoming the person who speaks on stages.
111
I'm becoming the person who writes books.
112
I'm becoming the person who does a podcast.
113
I'm becoming a person who is healthy.
114
I'm becoming the person who has beautiful relationships.
115
I'm becoming the person, whatever it is for you, write that down.
116
Write that down because I want you to manifest from identity, not fantasy.
117
And there's a big difference in the two.
118
So the end of step one is to get crystal clear on what you want.
119
Now, step two is another big step in the process.
120
We must feel the future before it arrives.
121
And we talked about this briefly with Dr. Joe Spenzo, but here's why this is important.
122
Your emotional state is your manifestation frequency.
123
You don't manifest what you want.
124
You manifest what you feel.
125
Oh my gosh.
126
Think about this for a second.
127
Think about how you think and feel on a daily basis.
128
What are your thoughts and what are your feelings like?
129
Are they scarce thinking?
130
Are they stressful thoughts?
131
Are they fearful thoughts?
132
Are you living in self-doubt, worry, anxiety, depression?
133
If so, that thinking where you're creating this energy in your thoughts, in your mind, it transmutes in your body.
134
It connects to your heart.
135
It goes into all your cells and it connects to your body and you're linking the thought into your physical cells, into your body.
136
And then you're creating life based on that feeling.
137
You're creating life based on the feelings that you manifest daily.
138
Your emotional state is your manifestation frequency.
139
You don't manifest what you want, what you desire.
140
You manifest what you feel.
141
And this is why it's so important to shift how you think and how you feel, even when you don't feel good.
142
You have to believe you have it already.
143
You've just got to.
144
And so you believe you have it already, it manifests.
145
Simple as that.
146
If we don't believe that we can have something already.
147
Yeah, we have to have it.
148
You've got to have it like your name, like you have your name.
149
You've got to have it like they're your feet and your hands, like no separation between you and it you know
150
if you have something like you your home or the clothes
151
that you're wearing like there isn't a separation for you about
152
those they're one with you that's what it's got to be
153
like like you already have it like i already have
154
that house i already have that car i already have that company i already have that promotion yeah i already have it.
155
I can feel it.
156
I see it in my mind.
157
And that's all you have to do.
158
I think Bob Proctor would say, see it in your mind and hold it in your hand.
159
That's true.
160
Right?
161
I love what Rhonda just shared here.
162
And the quote from Bob Proctor at the end, if you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.
163
And the big lesson here is this is why gratitude and generosity are the gateway to abundance.
164
Gratitude shifts your energetic state faster than anything else.
165
It literally shifts it.
166
When you think about something you're grateful for, it can be the tiniest thing.
167
I'm grateful for the sunshine.
168
I'm grateful for a friend texting me.
169
I'm grateful I woke up today.
170
I'm grateful I can see.
171
I'm grateful I have another experience of this life today.
172
I'm grateful I get a paycheck.
173
I'm grateful, whatever it is, I'm grateful I have food right now, when you think about what you're grateful for, it's really hard to be angry and grateful at the same time.
174
So gratitude shifts you out of fear, out of stress and into alignment.
175
And the more you repeat it every single moment or every single hour throughout the day, you build the habit of being grateful.
176
And when you build the habit of being grateful, you shift your energetic frequency to allow you to attract more opportunities faster.
177
It opens your heart.
178
It calms your mind.
179
It activates the parts of your brain that notice opportunities instead of danger.
180
And this is a big part of manifestation and being aligned to things that bring you more of what you want.
181
It activates the parts of your brain that notice opportunity instead of danger.
182
And if you're always looking out for danger, you don't have a clear vision for your life.
183
You don't have clarity.
184
You're not in an open energetic state.
185
Your heart is closed.
186
It's in fight or flight mode.
187
It's in scarcity mode.
188
And there are moments that we need to be discerning.
189
I'm not just saying be lollygagging around all day long without worrying about what's happening around you.
190
We have to be discerning in relationships.
191
We have to be courageous when we're taking on business opportunities
192
and make sure we're doing the right things and follow the steps and all these different things.
193
I get it.
194
but in general, we need to be thinking about gratitude.
195
We need to be allowing ourselves to expand our heart to receive, because if we're always closed off, it's gonna be very hard to receive what you want.
196
And this gets you into the emotional state where your future finally has somewhere to land.
197
Now, let me say this again.
198
This gets you into the emotional state where your future finally has somewhere to land.
199
Now, let me give you some context here.
200
When I was starting with nothing, sleeping on my sister's couch, broke, no money, living off credit cards, student loan debt.
201
The economy was crashing in 2008, 2009.
202
At first, I didn't do this.
203
I was focused on all the problems I had in my life.
204
Why am I broke?
205
Why am I struggling with these credit cards?
206
Why do I have student loan debt?
207
Why won't the government just forgive this student loan debt
208
so i don't have to deal with it why did this happen to me why did i get injured
209
and break my wrist why is it taking longer it's taking six months to get out of a cast
210
why is this happening to me why did this accident happen
211
to my father where he got into a car accident at
212
the same time as well why why why why why why all these bad things happening to me
213
i was focused on scarcity i was focused on lack i was focused on upset anger frustration insecurity, self-doubt, blame.
214
I was focused on everything else except for gratitude.
215
Everything but gratitude I was focused on.
216
And what did I create?
217
All of that focus on everything that I was not grateful for created more energy of things that I wasn't grateful for.
218
More of that elevated feeling that we talked about in section one.
219
I would think about it.
220
I would ruminate on it.
221
I would focus on it.
222
And then I would feel frustrated.
223
I would feel depressed.
224
I would feel the weight of resentment of why is this happening to me?
225
Why did these people do this to me?
226
Why did I struggle?
227
Why, why, why?
228
Instead, the moment everything started to shift was when I said, you know what?
229
I'm going to practice gratitude every morning.
230
I'm just going to wake up and say, you know what?
231
I'm grateful to be alive.
232
I'm going to find something to be grateful for.
233
I'm grateful for my sister who's given me a place to sleep for free for a year
234
and a half man it's a pretty good big sister i'm
235
grateful for my sister i'm grateful for my sister giving me food
236
because i couldn't afford food i didn't i didn't find gratitude
237
in big things i was just like how can i find gratitude in the littlest things throughout the day
238
when i started putting my focus
239
and attention on all these little things ah it's i was
240
like the grinch it was like my heart just like started to get bigger it's like it doubled
241
and i just got more joy more gratitude brings more joy, more love.
242
And I started seeing things differently and I started acting differently and I started engaging with people differently.
243
I started asking questions
244
and being curious about others instead of focusing on what was wrong with me
245
or what I was struggling with and putting all this victim energy and victim frustration on myself.
246
I started looking outward.
247
I started service mindset.
248
I started asking questions, being curious.
249
And that is literally how my business grew by building relationships, by asking questions, by taking action on what I was learning.
250
I was grateful for the couch that I slept on, for the books that I could borrow, for the one person who believed in me, for the mentors who showed up.
251
And that gratitude lifted my state.
252
It helped me think differently.
253
It helped me act differently, believe differently.
254
And when your state changes, your results change as well.
255
And I have a challenge for you.
256
I want you to take 60 seconds right now, and I want you to feel your future now.
257
Not just think about it or just see it in your mind, but I want you to actually feel it.
258
Your brain doesn't know the difference between imagination and memory.
259
So I want you to use that to your advantage.
260
And what this could look like as part of this exercise, if I'm seeing the future of something I want to create, I want to write a book, I want to be a bestseller,
261
I want to speak on stage in front of 10,000 people and get paid a certain amount of money, I want to be in this beautiful relationships, I want to have the,
262
this, this health that I've never had, then I want you to see it and just start imagining for 60 seconds.
263
Like I want to be on a big stage to 10,000 people where I get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.
264
Just imagine what you want, see it.
265
And then I want you to feel it and actually walk yourself through the future.
266
Like a memory of the past where you walk yourself in the past of pain.
267
I want you to walk yourself into the future of purpose and feel the emotion.
268
You're backstage.
269
You've got your mic in your hand or they're micing you up around your ear, around your mouth here with a little earpiece.
270
You've got your suit on.
271
You've got a certain outfit on.
272
You're getting excited.
273
You're doing your pre-speech warm-up.
274
You're talking to people behind the scenes.
275
There's photographers.
276
There's a videographer.
277
They announce your name.
278
You walk out, they open the curtain, you go on stage, the audience erupts.
279
Feel that excitement, feel that joy, put yourself in the future of your life that you want to become that identity of who you're becoming.
280
If you can do that every single day for 60 seconds
281
and then act on the person you're becoming to create the skillset, to create the relationships, to create the personal brand,
282
the awareness that attracts that, your life will completely change.
283
Use this challenge to your advantage.
284
Feel the future before it arrives.
285
In this next section, I want to talk about the third step, which is bold, imperfect action.
286
That is step three.
287
Take one bold, imperfect action every single day.
288
Every single day, take one bold imperfect action.
289
The universe responds to movement.
290
You cannot sit still and expect a new life.
291
You can't think your way out of fear.
292
You have to move through it.
293
Check this out.
294
So it's conscious thought multiplied by action equals manifestation, which I then read later in ancient texts.
295
That's what the shirt is.
296
Well, CT multiplied by a equals m conscious thought multiplied by action equals manifestation wow that's the formula
297
and you can't get to that formula unless you go through
298
that process and these ancients knew this a very long time ago
299
and uh because they knew this
300
that reaffirmed in me i can really create the reality
301
that i want to be a part of yes there will
302
be things to come in blindside you yes it will be things
303
that will sidetrack you yes it will be hurdles to overcome
304
but those things are all just problems
305
that need to be need to have to you have to
306
find solutions to those problems instead of seeing those things as negative
307
or this thing is attacking
308
or this is this is it it's over for me it's
309
okay we have a problem now how can i be a
310
part of the solution to this problem wow conscious thought multiplied
311
by action equals manifestation that's the formula you can't just only think about what you want
312
and have clarity on what you want
313
and then not act to go create the skill set go
314
create the momentum go build the relationships you have got to have courage on a daily basis
315
and it takes bold action every single day it takes putting yourself out there
316
and allowing yourself to be rejected by people people are going to say no to you
317
and that's okay it's you showing up consistently
318
and the universe is going to reward you the more you show up
319
but if you can't deal with rejection or you can't deal with embarrassment by other people judging you,
320
then it's going to be hard for you to create what you want
321
because that's the entry price for creating and attracting all the things in your life.
322
You have to be willing to fail.
323
You have to be willing to put yourself out there.
324
You have to be willing to be misunderstood by people.
325
And unfortunately, sometimes the people closest to you, your spouse, your partner, your parents, your siblings, your friends, teachers,
326
people may misunderstand your vision, but your vision is not their life.
327
And you have to be willing to focus on what you want.
328
And their opinions of you are not your business.
329
So don't allow them to hold you back from going with what you want.
330
Now, a story for me to share with you right now is that the day my life changed.
331
it wasn't the day that I had a clear vision because I wrote down my vision for different things I wanted.
332
I would frame the vision.
333
I would put it on the wall.
334
I would actually put the date of when I wanted to accomplish these visions by, and I would have those on my wall and I would look at them every day.
335
Now that was part of the action step was getting clear on what I wanted, but it's not just going to happen if I don't take bold action.
336
The day my life changed was the day that I started to take massive,
337
massive, courageous, bold, imperfect action, messy action.
338
I mean, this is like sloppy, messy, you know, embarrassing action over and over again.
339
But when you take action with courage and you put yourself out there, and some people that they want to help,
340
they want to feel useful.
341
They want to give, Whether it's advice or give you an opportunity.
342
And so many people have given me opportunities throughout my seasons of life at different stages.
343
They've said, yeah, I'll give you a shot.
344
Yeah, I'll take 10 minutes.
345
Yeah, I'll do the interview with you, even though I was small time.
346
Whatever it was, people gave me opportunities because I shot my shot.
347
I reached out to mentors.
348
I went to events.
349
I showed up uncomfortable.
350
I would go on Greyhound buses around the country.
351
I would stay in hostels.
352
I would just find a way to meet people and put myself out there.
353
I would make uncomfortable calls.
354
I would post cringeworthy videos online, but I showed up before I felt ready.
355
If I didn't show up before I felt ready, I wouldn't have never gotten anything because I still don't feel fully ready.
356
And that's the secret is showing up before you feel ready.
357
When you do that, you become more ready over time.
358
And imperfect action creates momentum and momentum creates opportunities.
359
That's the game changer.
360
So I got a challenge for you.
361
I want you to ask yourself, what is one courageous step my future self would take today?
362
If you had all the courage in the world, if you were you five, 10 years away with all the infinite wisdom
363
that you're going to gain over the next five to 10 years in your life, If you could step into the future
364
and tap into this memory bank as an artifact
365
that you create over the next five to 10 years of memories and new skills and new wisdom.
366
And you said, what would my five to 10 year future year self do?
367
What actions would they take?
368
What calls would they make?
369
How would they show up?
370
What skills would they learn to get me to my future self?
371
ask yourself, what is that one courageous step that my future self would take today?
372
And you've got to do that every single day.
373
You can't just do it once.
374
You've got to do it consistently.
375
I want you to send the message to whoever you need to send it to right now.
376
I want you to apply for the job.
377
I want you to start the project, sign up for the program, have the conversation, whatever it is that you need to do.
378
I want you to have that bold action right now.
379
Do it right now.
380
Text the person, call the person, start the thing, write the email, whatever it is, do it right now.
381
Because bold action is the bridge between intention and manifestation.
382
And man, this is a game changer.
383
Take one bold and perfect action today.
384
Now this next section is the blocks that sabotage manifestation.
385
Now that you know the first three steps, here's the number one block that kills manifestation.
386
Are you ready for it?
387
Are you ready for it?
388
I don't know if you are, but here's the number one block that kills manifestation.
389
You can't receive what you keep sabotaging.
390
Oh man, this is a good one.
391
You cannot receive what you keep sabotaging in your life.
392
And if you have been someone who has sabotaged anything in your life, then let me know in the comments
393
or send me a message on social media and let me know
394
that you have sabotaged yourself because I know I have in the past and it has crippled me.
395
It has held me back.
396
No one else has done this to me.
397
I did this to myself because you can't receive what you keep sabotaging.
398
Manifestation is not just about attracting what you want.
399
It's about removing what's blocking you from creating what you want.
400
And here are the biggest blocks.
401
You ready?
402
This is big.
403
I want you to write this down.
404
And I want you to reflect on, is this something that you've done?
405
If it is, again, take notes, write this down.
406
And also, if you're getting any value out of this, please share this with one friend that you know could increase the quality of their life,
407
that you know has so much potential.
408
Send this to them so they can start unlocking new levels in their life.
409
If you see potential in them, if you see opportunities in them, but they've been blocking themselves, please send them the link to this episode right now.
410
And here are the biggest blocks.
411
Self-doubt disguised as being realistic.
412
fear disguised as being practical, staying small.
413
So others feel comfortable, people pleasing instead of pursuing your purpose.
414
Oh man.
415
Just give me a nod or a sigh or raise your hand virtually.
416
If you, if you feel that, if you've done any of those things, because for years I kept people in my life who doubted my dreams or who held me back emotionally.
417
And I just kept them.
418
I didn't create the boundaries I needed to create.
419
I didn't have the courageous conversations because I was so afraid of people liking me.
420
I didn't want to offend people.
421
I was an extreme people pleaser.
422
And, you know, it wasn't because these people were bad people.
423
It was because I didn't value myself
424
and I lacked the courage to either let go of their approval or let go of them completely. And proximity is power.
425
And the day I started surrounding myself with people who lifted me up, who challenged me in an empowering way and who supported my vision,
426
my manifestations multiplied like crazy.
427
Proximity is power.
428
If you want to create anything in your life, it is about getting clear on the vision that you have.
429
Clear, crystal clear.
430
and if people around you are not in a supportive of
431
that vision then in some ways you're sabotaging yourself now it
432
doesn't mean you have to kick everyone out of your life
433
and your family and your friends it's that's not what this is about.
434
You know, it's not that black and white, but it is about you being courageous and saying, Hey, this is my dream.
435
This is my goal.
436
This is the vision I have for my life.
437
And I would love for you to be on board with this just by empowering me.
438
Don't, don't limit me.
439
Don't say negative things.
440
Don't try to hold me back.
441
But knowing that this is my vision, this is my dream.
442
This is my goal for this season of life.
443
Can you at least support that?
444
Can you at least be behind it and not say negative, critical things?
445
That's my request.
446
Can we create an agreement that we are in alignment on that?
447
And whatever your dreams are, I'm going to be in alignment with what you want me to be supporting you as well, because your environment is either fueling your future or it's anchoring your past.
448
So you need to choose wisely who is in your life and what is in your environment.
449
Now here is why you become addicted to manifestation in one day.
450
Once you practice clarity, emotional alignment and bold action, you feel different.
451
You think different, you act different, you become a different person and you start to see proof all around you.
452
It's like, it's like the matrix, like things open up and you're just like a manifesting machine,
453
you see proof, you see evidence of how you can believe in yourself rather than doubt yourself.
454
You see doors opening.
455
People start emailing you opportunities.
456
You just feel like, oh, life is happening in my favor.
457
Like I'm just luckier.
458
And you just feel luckier.
459
You feel like things are just falling in your lap, but it's because you've done these three things to get you there.
460
You've gotten clear on your vision.
461
You're really taking the actions in a different way.
462
And you're feeling the emotion of that future that you're looking to draw into.
463
And again, you start to see proof.
464
You start to see micro wins, new connections, creative ideas, aligned opportunities.
465
And the more you see proof, the more your confidence grows.
466
It becomes addictive.
467
Like you're becoming a new identity.
468
You're literally shedding the old skin of the old identity,
469
which is your thinking and your emotions around thoughts, around beliefs.
470
You're starting to shed those beliefs, shed that thinking, shed those feelings that are familiar, but are not supporting you.
471
Just because it's familiar doesn't mean it's good.
472
Just because you feel stress and anxiety doesn't mean it's helpful.
473
Manifestation becomes addictive because you realize you are not powerless.
474
You are not stuck.
475
You are not waiting for permission from anyone.
476
You realize it because you are the creator.
477
You are the catalyst.
478
You are the author of what comes next in your life.
479
And that is powerful, my friend.
480
That is freedom.
481
It doesn't mean you're going to get everything you want.
482
It doesn't mean it's always going to be easy.
483
It doesn't mean everything's going to be perfect.
484
It might be some messy seasons, but man, you have incredible power when you realize you are the author of what comes next.
485
And so I want to give you a 24 hour manifestation challenge that if you could repeat this over and over again,
486
I'm telling you, it is going to unlock everything for you.
487
So here's your 24 hour manifestation challenge.
488
I want you to step one, Write a clear vision and
489
if you're not sure how to do this the greatest mindset unlock the power of your mind
490
and live your best life Today is the new york time bestseller
491
that this is the book
492
that I wish I had 10 years ago 20 years ago to help me get clear on writing
493
that clear vision And how to follow these steps step by step.
494
This is the book go get this book.
495
It's got tons of exercises and examples
496
it's like a workbook for your dreams coming true get the greatness mindset right now
497
and they'll show you a step-by-step process of how to step one create this clear vision for yourself step two
498
feel the future with gratitude fuel your soul with gratitude the more fuel of gratitude you have in your body
499
and your heart and your mind i'm telling you you are going to be you're just going to feel better.
500
Even if nothing better happens to you, even if you don't manifest what you want, you don't create what you want, you're just going to feel better and people are going to want to be around you.
501
And it's a better life when you feel better.
502
And step three is to take one bold, imperfect action today on the thing that you've been ruminating on,
503
fearful of, afraid of, thinking about, dreaming about for years.
504
Because I know if you're watching this, I just have a sneaky feeling if you're watching this, you've had something inside of you, not for a few weeks,
505
but for a few years that you wanted to take action on.
506
Am I right?
507
Maybe you've wanted to write a book.
508
You've had like this little dream, this little like crazy dream.
509
I want to write a book.
510
Maybe you've wanted to speak on stage.
511
Maybe you wanted to launch a side hustle.
512
Maybe you've wanted to, uh, ask the person out that you've always had a crush on.
513
Whatever it is, you have chills or goosebumps around something that excites you.
514
That's your future self screaming at you through the goosebumps saying, please take action today.
515
Please take that step because you're meant to become that thing.
516
If you're feeling it and thinking about it and desiring it, you might just mean to become it.
517
But the longer you wait, the longer time you hesitate,
518
you sabotage, you delay, the more resentment you're going to build up for not the world, but yourself.
519
The more you're going to not trust yourself because you've been afraid of taking bold, courageous actions over and over again.
520
Or maybe you tried to take an action and you got humiliated or you got embarrassed or you failed.
521
But I'm telling you, failure is the key to success.
522
You must fail.
523
You must embrace failure and say, I want to fail more because I know failure is feedback.
524
It doesn't mean I'm a failure.
525
It just means there's information, skills, tools, knowledge that I need to learn so that I can be successful.
526
The more you take one bold and perfect action every single day in this 24-hour challenge, you do it over and over again every 24 hours, the more you're going to learn.
527
And it's going to be painful when you make a mistake and you're saying, oh, now I have wisdom on what not to do.
528
I'm going to do something different.
529
And I'm going to keep doing that new thing over and over again until I get the results I want.
530
Do this challenge and watch how fast things shift in your life because manifestation isn't about obsessing over what you want.
531
It's about becoming the person who naturally attracts it.
532
That's power.
533
That's freedom.
534
That's calm.
535
That's peaceful.
536
And I want that for you.
537
I want you to feel emotionally free.
538
I want you to feel light in the way you think.
539
I want you to attract what you want, but it's going to take you taking these three steps over
540
and over again and expanding your mind with a level of thinking that is grateful for what you have.
541
Even if you have nothing, even if you feel like you've been beaten down emotionally, physically, financially, relationally, whatever has gone in your life.
542
I remember the time on my sister's couch for a year and a half.
543
It was not fun.
544
It was a struggle.
545
I felt depressed.
546
I felt worried.
547
I had no clarity of how I was going to make any money or get off my sister's couch.
548
It suffocated me psychologically.
549
And it was so hard to think about anything I was grateful for.
550
And it felt so much like I was just had to hit rock bottom every day over
551
and over again and feel this pain until one day I made a decision.
552
I said, Lewis, no longer.
553
I'm going to sit here and suffering.
554
I don't like this situation.
555
I don't enjoy this.
556
This is not the situation I want to be in, but I need to find something I'm grateful for.
557
And that was when everything started to shift.
558
Once I started with gratitude and I started appreciating what I had,
559
appreciating the experiences, even appreciating the pain and saying, there must be a greater lesson.
560
Thank you for giving me this lesson.
561
I don't know what it is yet, but I'm grateful for this experience because one day it's going to make sense.
562
Appreciating the unknown.
563
When you start to live your life in gratitude and generosity, that becomes the gateway to abundance.
564
Again, when you start to live your life with gratitude and generosity, that is the gateway to abundance.
565
I want you to apply this, take action on this and become the person who naturally starts to attract what you want in your life.
566
My name is Lewis Howes, and I want to remind you, if no one has told you lately, that you are loved, you are worthy, and you matter.
567
If you believe rich people are greedy or that money is bad,
568
then your subconscious mind will push prosperity away from you because you don't want to become something that you didn't.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
