There’s a related saying in show jumping: Throw your heart over the jump, and then jump after it. I use that all the time and by God it works! Connect with the thought that what you want is already yours and it will be. As the beloved podcaster Momo says, the reason manifestation works isn’t that it changes the outside world, but rather that it changes YOU. The universe is constantly offering us opportunities, but we never see them until we are ready.

“Act like you know what you are doing and you can get away with anything..” Has been my mantra since highschool when I use to hang out in the teacher’s lounge. It has never failed me and has gotten me all sorts of places! Fun!

Great list, Raincoaster! I would add that improvisation and imagination are your friends. When people know they can depend on you to come up with great ideas on the spur of the moment, you’ll be in demand for parties and outings where someone else picks up the tab.
