B asically, whatever you assume to be true will manifest into your reality. Whether you believe in manifesting or not, it’s fair to say that there are people in this world who either seem to have it all or seem to always be down on their luck. Whether you are one of these people or know someone who is, what is the first thought that comes to mind when you think of how this person lives their life? The people who seem to have to have it all believed they would (even before they may have had any proof that they would get what they desired), while the people who stay stagnant believe they could never achieve their wildest dreams. They assume their dreams are too big, too out there, too wild, so instead they assume their life is destined to be plain. If you are the person who believes your life is destined to be plain, it will be. If you
assume you will not do anything great or have anything extraordinary, then your assumptions will be correct, and you will live an extremely ordinary life, wondering why you were never able to take anything to the next level. What we believe ourselves to be is what we become. The Law of Assumption is incredible when put into practice because it allows seemingly ordinary people to do extraordinary things. All because they assume they can, and they will. We see this in the business world all the time. People with two cents to their name believe so much in what they are creating and assume they will succeed that they seemingly start pulling money out of thin air, create support networks from nothing, and go on to share their stories with the world, all because they believed they could.
It works the opposite way as well, unfortunately, and far too many people live their lives believing they cannot and will not achieve anything. We encourage kids to dream and believe they can be anything from astronauts to rock stars, but at some point, those same kids grow up to be told that their dreams are no longer attainable and that they must stop playing so riskily. So, those same people who once had those big, uninhibited dreams now shrink themselves down and assume they are not destined for anything great because they are too scared to take a risk. For fear of failing, they live their lives on the sidelines, only wishing, instead of ASSUMING, their life could be different. Because even when you fly, you need to fall for a few seconds first. And it is those few seconds of falling that hold so many
