Latest / Walking Manifestator Podcast- Aligning Mindset with Spirituality / 113: Your Manifestation Isn’t Delayed… You’re Being Prepared
Transcript
- Alexa Pena: What if the reason your manifestation isn't actually happening isn't just because God is telling us no, but what if it's actually because it's allowing you to be able to become the person that can actually hold this manifestation? You see, a lot of us are praying for more money, for more success, for a relationship, for a business opportunity, for just more blessings in general. But we don't realize that if we received those things too early, they could actually destroy us instead of actually helping us get to our goal. And this is really where faith becomes essential because true faith is not about believing after you see something. True faith is actually coming from when you are currently not experiencing any evidence in your reality that is showing you that your blessing is on the way, but you decide to believe in spite of what you're seeing. And in today's conversation, I want to really get into why God's timing is always perfect, how our identity is actually manifesting and attracting the things that we're seeing in our life. why your current story is actually the thing that is keeping you stuck and the neuroscience behind repeated thought patterns and the practical steps to start creating a new reality for yourself. And I really want this conversation to just help you understand that you're not behind, that you are simply being prepared for the blessing that is to actually come into your life. Now, God is never late. He is never early. He is always right on time. And a lot of the times we think, why isn't it happening yet? Right? Why am I struggling so much? Why do other people seem ahead? Why do things always feel like they're falling apart for me? Right. But what if the delay is actually God's protection? You see, I've always said that every rejection is a redirection. Now, let me give you a quick analogy here. Let's just say you have a trainer, right? And you want to go and lift heavy. But let's say you just started. and you are actually more comfortable just doing 20 to 25 pounds on the dumbbells that you're utilizing, or maybe you're doing the hip thrust and you're starting off with the 10s or the 20s, but you're telling your trainer, no, no, no, I wanna go up to 300. Your trainer would look at you and say, you are crazy, you're gonna hurt your back, you're gonna pull a muscle, and you're never going to wanna do this again. And what if that's the very thing that we're doing in our life right now? You see, not because you're incapable, but because you actually haven't developed the capacity to hold the very thing that you are asking for. And here's the thing, a lot of the times when we force things too early, we sabotage, we actually feel overwhelmed, we unconsciously have injuries during the process, right? We have something that we get so consumed by the thing that we're trying to get to that we forget about enjoying the journey and we're all about the destination. So the same thing is happening every single day in your life. You see massive success, massive visibility, massive abundance, influence, but internally we are still panicking when we are around money that we're uncomfortable with. or we're sabotaging opportunities because we're still operating from survival. And we actually fear more responsibility because that means that with more responsibility, that means again, more people that you're having to serve. And if you don't have a system, you actually end up sabotaging it. It's like if I tell 100 people right now, come and try out my cookbook. I don't have a cookbook, guys. But let's say I did and I don't have a cookbook. And you guys all decide, hey, yes, yes, yes, like send me the cookbook right now. And I said that the cookbook was ready. Now it's very different if I said, hey, well, you're going to be on a waiting list. I'm going to have it ready by the end of the week. That's very different. But let's just say I promised you something. Well, what ends up happening is that without you realizing you're actually sabotaging it because now you're not ready to hold that amount of blessing. Now, in Luke 12, 48, it says, whom much is given, much will be required. And those of you that are new to the podcast, you know that I've been doing my very best at understanding how to bridge the science to the actual scripture that has been here for generations. If you know anything about me, you know that I've had my own battles with believing everything that the Bible says because some things I believe maybe they were more so meant in a theology, like a story, something that is more to be experienced versus something that actually happened and at one point in my life I didn't believe in anything I've talked to you guys about that in my first episodes and I think that right now where I'm at with my overall believe Is that I believe that God created everything so I'm not going to worship some crystals I am not going to worship the stars the moon because I believe that God was actually the creator of everything I believe that God actually sent Jesus to teach us how to manifest I believe that if you actually look at the story of Jesus and everything that he sacrificed in the amount of Countless witnesses that talked about all his miracles. It's so crazy how and again, I've been there I used to actually question a lot of the validity of the Bible because I was like, well, King James wasn't a really good person to begin with. And that's a whole other conversation that we can get on another cover on another podcast about. But what I ended up hearing throughout all of this was like, Alexa, stop allowing the man side of what society has tried to brainwash people into believing that it's about you being Catholic, you being Christian, you being Muslim and actually understanding the core message. And this is where really I shared that piece of scripture for you because I believe that there's a lot of truth in the scripture that has been passed down by generations for us to use as a blueprint. Now, the blessing that you're asking for actually requires the identity for you to be able to hold it. And on our last conversation, we talked about the meaning you're giving to things is actually the thing that's either going to allow you to get closer to your manifestation or it's actually going to push you further away. Now, the next thing I want to get into is that your current story is actually shaping your reality. So most people are not stuck because of what actually they're experiencing. They're stuck because of what they keep repeating in their mind. They're telling themselves, I'm always struggling. Nothing works out for me. People are always winning, they're always leaving, I'm always behind, I'm not smart enough, I am not pretty enough, I'm not whatever it is for you. Whatever your I am not enough of is for you, we all have it. And you see... Dr. Joe talks a lot about this, neurons that fire together actually get wired together. Meaning that the more you rewire those neurons to believe something, that becomes truth for you, whether it's true or not. Eventually, your brain actually begins filtering reality through that identity, through that lens. Meaning, your reticular activating system, which is the thing that actually tells you like, hey, look around your room right now and tell me everything that is pink. And let's say you look around your room and then I say, hey, tell me everything that was black. Well, chances are you're going to be like, well, I was just focusing on the things that were pink. It's the exact same thing when it comes to success. If you're always looking at the world as if everything is falling apart, nothing ever works out for me, everything is always so easy for other people, but it's hard for me, then that is the thing that you're going to. experience. And in Romans 12, 2, it actually talks about renewing your mind. By doing that, you renew, you transform yourself into a completely new person. Faith requires movement before the evidence actually shows up. Most people are waiting, right, for certainty before you actually take the steps. But what if God is literally looking at us right now and saying, hey, well, if you want that blessing, if you want that level of success, if you want to be able to serve all these clients, then how are you showing up right now? You see, I had a client the other day that was telling me that she was really excited, but she was really nervous because she's starting her very own ⁓ TikTok. And she's been wanting to sell like her digital products for some time. And she is somebody, she's a teacher and she, you know. has a salary that she hasn't been the most happy with, but she's been investing in herself. And I'm so proud of her because she actually decided to go all in with her business. And it's so crazy because as she's telling me the story of what was going on, she tells me there was a point, Alexa, where I felt like giving up. There was a point where I started crying because the video that I was looking at that was trying to tell me how to do the very thing that I needed to do actually wasn't working. And later I end up realizing that Again, I just need to take a deep breath and everything came full circle. So what are you trying to rush in your life? What are you trying to force in your life that is actually the very thing that God is telling you like, hey, we're not ready for that, but keep having certainty. And as you continue to have certainty, the next step is going to show up for you. So here's really where you need to stop identifying as the victim. You see, The biggest blocks in manifesting the dream life that you want is that you are always in this victim mindset. You're always thinking that everything is happening to you instead of switching in and saying everything is actually happening for me, for my growth, for my development, for my teachings and my learnings. And this is really where life can really feel painful for you. But the moment that you take ownership and you change the meaning that you're giving to those circumstances, everything feels like it's flowing. And it says it in Proverbs 23, seven, as a man thinketh, so is he. So all I want you to take from that is that the more you're thinking of something, the more that you have that in your heart, that is what you're going to manifest in your reality. Now, here is really where I wanna leave you. You may not be able to control every circumstance that is, you know, being thrown your way, but you do control your response. You do create, you do have the opportunity to actually control your habits. your identity, your actions, all of these things are actually part of what you can control. Our responsibility is simply the response, the ability in which we respond to things. That is what responsibility is. So manifestation isn't just about attracting more things into your life. It's about becoming in alignment with the person that can actually hold those things into your life. Money without discipline is just going to fade away. Love without healing is just going to become toxic because a lot of people leave a relationship because they're like, oh, that guy was the worst. That girl was the worst. And then they get in another relationship and guess what? They didn't face their demons. So they're right back at the same place doing the exact same thing that they did with the last person. And now they leave that person because again, it's them and it's never them. Disability without confidence. is always going to all this uncertainty and anxiety. Opportunity without preparation is going to always make you feel overwhelmed. So if you do not raise your goals, you are actually... falling short of the identity and you're not that identity that could actually hold that because again, a person that has higher standards is not going to settle for anything lesser than what they know they deserve. So some action steps that I want to leave you with today is I want you to ask yourself, what identity are you still holding onto today? What story are you constantly repeating every single day? What habits are you actually reinforcing that feed that story? What would the future version of you actually do differently? I'm talking about the person that you're trying to become. How would they act? How would they respond? How would they carry themselves? What would they eat? What would they not eat? What would they not hang out with? Who would they hang out with? And what action can you actually take today? Just one action step that you can take today that is going to get you closer to that desired outcome that you are looking for. So with that, I hope that you can understand that manifestation is not just a thing about receiving, it's a thing about alignment. And maybe the delay isn't actually punishment, it's just preparation. Maybe God is not just withholding something from you, but he's actually strengthening you for you to be able to hold what you want. Because one day the opportunity that you prayed for is going to arrive. And when it does, you're going to realize that The season of waiting was actually never wasted. It was simply building you. So if this episode resonated with you today, I would greatly appreciate if you shared it with somebody that you think needs to hear this. And I will talk to you guys on the next one. And remember, if nobody has told you this today, remember that you are loved, you are worthy, and you can absolutely manifest anything you desire. I'll talk to you on the next
