The only thing holding you back from manifesting your desires

The only thing that ever holds you back from manifesting what you want is you contradicting your own desire.
And I know — this sounds really obvious. But somewhere in the process, we often forget this simple truth: You’re not unable to manifest because it’s hard, or because manifestation doesn’t work. You’re unable to manifest because you are, consciously or subconsciously, contradicting the very desire you’re trying to experience.
Every manifestation coach or life coach out there is essentially doing one thing — helping you identify where those contradictions lie. Once you remove the contradiction, it becomes so much easier to experience your desire in the physical world. This is what a lot of coaches refer to as normalizing your desire.
To normalize something simply means you no longer carry resistance or contradictory beliefs about it. There’s no internal argument going on. And that’s what every teacher in this space is aiming to help you with — to dissolve that contradiction. Because everything is in your head.
Let’s say you’re trying to manifest a specific person or a specific amount of money. You affirm for it daily, visualize it, focus on it. And yet, it’s still not showing up. That’s not because manifestation isn’t real. It’s because, somewhere deep down, you’re still contradicting yourself. There’s likely a subconscious belief at play that says the opposite of what you want.
For instance, if you’re manifesting a specific person and it’s not working despite your efforts, there might be a core belief like “I’m not chosen” or “I’m not good enough.” You haven’t addressed that yet — and that belief is contradicting your desire.
If you’re manifesting a large amount of money, but it’s still not here, the contradiction might sound like:“Making that much money is difficult.” Maybe you grew up witnessing your parents struggle with money. So even if you’re not thinking it consciously, your subconscious mind is holding on to that story (if unaddressed) — and that’s what’s contradicting the desire of making large amounts of money.
Now you might be wondering: How do I find out what those subconscious beliefs are? I already have a video on how to do your own mental therapy, which helps you identify limiting beliefs.
So to summarise: it’s never that manifestation doesn’t work. It’s that you’re still contradicting yourself somewhere. You haven’t fully accepted the new version of yourself, who already has that thing. You haven’t accepted the fact that you can absolutely experience your desire in your physical reality.
Your physical life is just a consequence of what you’ve been thinking and who you’ve been. That’s all it is.
