HOW DID I MANIFEST THIS?

I’m always amazed at how simple the concepts are that Rey shares with me. I’m also astounded at how difficult it sometimes is to put these simple concepts into effect.

Rey believes that you manifest everything that happens in your life. Therefore, you have to take responsibility for the good as well as the bad. It’s a hard concept to swallow because you “can’t” even share the blame for your stress, sorrows or failures with other people. There’s a lot to be said pro and con about this concept. I decided to sit on the pro side of the fence, take a look at my life and see what things I could change to become more successful.

When I first met Rey he suggested a simple practice to help me get started. Always answer the question “how are you?” with “I’m happy!”  “You don’t have to believe it” he promised. Just say it every time and make the choice to be happy when you wake up in the morning and your life will change.

I thought that was pointless. How can I choose to be happy when I’ve got bills I “can’t” pay, things I “can’t” do, stuff I “can’t” buy, places I “can’t” go, stress I “can’t” handle… His second suggestion was to eliminate the world “can’t” from my vocabulary. I decided to follow his lead and apply this seemingly simple and ridiculous approach to my everyday routine.

It was uncanny. Within days everything in my life began to change. I called my minister cousin whose life’s work is to empower our people by giving us the means to become stronger and more successful, to help the needy and build a self-sustaining system of education, health care and black owned businesses in our communities around the country. He was glad to hear from me and of course his first question was “how are you?” My reply of course was “I’m happy!” My cousin was extremely happy to hear it (he’s under so much pressure dealing with world problems). He said “you made my day” and sent me a gift of $1,000 for cheering him up. At that moment I was totally relieved from the financial stress that I was thinking I “can’t” let go of.

This thing “can’t” really work. What a coincidence I thought. I continued to do it anyway. Every day, every time someone asked “how are you?” I replied with “I’m happy”. I was always meeting new people because we go out a lot. I never really enjoyed hanging out so much and dreaded polite conversations with strangers. I really felt like I’m too old for partying and wasting my time talking to people who “can’t” help me.

Whenever I met someone new they would eventually ask “how are you? and of course I would reply with “I’m happy.” I started getting gig offers and invitations to events I didn’t think about going to because I didn’t have the money. Suddenly people wanted to do things for me and with me again. I got my groove back. My life is once again exciting, exhilarating and filled with inspiration.

Because I followed these simple suggestions I’ve manifested a world of opportunities and started a new life where I am healthy, content and happy! Rey is consistently empowering me to make changes that take me even further. I’m not ready to tell you about all of my transformations and routines for happiness and success. I do invite you to follow my blog and find out how to be happy, young and free NOW instead of waiting until you retire.
