Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor.
The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference between success and failure.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Taking action and being present in the moment is crucial for achieving success, rather than merely visualizing it.
This quote emphasizes the importance of engaging fully in the present moment and taking real actions toward one's goals, rather than just imagining success from a distance. Neville Goddard suggests that there is a stark contrast between the immersive experience of feeling oneβs efforts directly and the passive act of visualizing them, which can lead to a significant difference in outcomes, manifesting the idea that success arises from active participation rather than mere contemplation.
