Make Winning Feel Normal
This is the secret...
Here’s what people don’t understand about desiring something:
The more important you make it… the less likely it is to happen.
It seems completely counterintuitive.
You’d think that the more important you make it, the more you’ll prioritize it, and the more likely it’d be to happen.
But see, when you make something you want suuuuuuper important… like a career, a relationship, a physique, or any sort of desirable outcome…
You attach to it a level of resistance. You create a gap between you—someone who doesn’t have that thing—and the version of you who does have it.
I call this an energetic discrepancy.
You can only receive in your life what you feel worthy and capable of receiving.
And it turns out that the things we desire the most are often times the things we see as the most unlikely to happen.
Imagine that you have a job where you make $50k a year. And then you get offered two new job opportunities.
One is as a drive thru worker at McDonald’s, where you make $30k a year instead of $50k.
The other is a high-end position where you’ll make $100k a year.
Which one do you feel like would create the most resistance?
It almost always ends up being the more desirable job position.
And because you want it so bad, it creates resistance that causes you to act differently.
You think, “oh, I really want this job. I better not make a fool of myself. I better not stumble over my words. I really hope they hire me…”
And then when you show up to the job, you broadcast that energy.
Whereas the job at McDonald’s, you probably don’t really care, or don’t even really want it to begin with.
And in that, there’s an energy of casualness, of relaxation, of confidence. And that’s precisely what would allow you to most likely land the position with the job you don’t want.
All because you’re operating from a level of relaxation.
You receive what feels normal to you.
If a $100k salary job, or a relationship, or living in your dream home doesn’t feel normal…
You’re telling the universe, “I don’t see myself as someone capable of having this thing.”
And then your mind and body go to work to make that a reality.
Whereas if you were able to make having your desires feel more normal to who you see yourself to be, you emit a completely different energy to the universe.
One that’s says, “winning is normal for me. Success is normal for me. Abundance is normal for me.”
And in that, you operate in a completely different way.
So the name of the game is making that thing you want… normal.
Not this grandiose, fantastical thing.
You can also think about getting hit on by someone who you don’t find attractive, versus getting hit on by the person you have a crush on…
How will you act differently in those two situations?
The person you aren’t attracted to, you won’t really care that they hit on you. You might be flattered, but not pressured in any way.
Now take that person that you have a crush on. They come up to you and tell you they kinda like you…
Completely different energy. Completely different desire level. Completely different outcome.
If you don’t practice making having your desires feel normal to you, when the opportunity comes to make those desires a reality, you’ll miss the mark.
This is why it’s so important to familiarize yourself with the energy of fulfillment, abundance, and living from the feeling of having what you want.
When the time to reap your harvest comes, you’ll be ready, and you won’t push it away.
