Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor.
Neville GoddardRead
To be conscious of being poor while praying for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being, namely, poverty. Prayers to be successful must be claimed and appropriated. Assume the positive consciousness of the thing desired.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Being aware of your current situation while wishing for something better can keep you trapped in that situation. To achieve success, you must mentally accept it as already yours.
Neville Goddard emphasizes the importance of mindset in the process of manifesting desires. When one is focused on their current state of poverty while desiring wealth, they inadvertently reinforce their existing state rather than transforming it. The quote suggests that to genuinely attract success, one must adopt a positive mindset and fully embody the consciousness of possessing what they desire, thus aligning their thoughts and beliefs with their aspirations.

I play knowing that there is somebody watching me out there in the crowd that has never had the opportunity to watch a game before and it might be the only chance they ever to see one, live in person. Michael Jordan once said that in an interview, and I really took it to heart; whenever I step on the floor, I play for that person.

Perhaps we need to redefine our idea of role models; they're not always elite athletes whose success might seem too distant or unachievable. Sometimes it's our friend who just smashed her first 10k, or our Zumba teacher who is enthusiastic, encouraging and real.

Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination.
