The warmth of the sun on my face… I pause, just for a moment, and let it soak in. Not just the physical sensation, but the feeling that accompanies it. A deep, quiet joy that bubbles up from somewhere deep inside. It's a feeling I recognize now, a familiar friend: gratitude. Have you ever noticed how a simple sensation can unlock a flood of positive emotion?

My mind used to be a battlefield. A constant barrage of thoughts, worries, doubts, all clamoring for attention. It was exhausting, a never-ending internal struggle. But something has shifted. Now, there's a sense of spaciousness, a quiet hum of contentment that underlies everything. The thoughts are still there, of course, but they no longer hold the same power. They're like clouds drifting across a vast blue sky—interesting to observe, but ultimately transient. If your mind were a sky, what kind of clouds would you see drifting by right now?

I remember a time when I was constantly chasing after something, always striving for a future that felt just out of reach. I was convinced that happiness lay just beyond the next achievement, the next milestone. But I was wrong. Happiness wasn't something I needed to acquire; it was already here, within me, waiting to be discovered. This echoes the teachings of Neville Goddard, who emphasized the power of imagination and assumption in creating our reality. He encouraged us to live in the end, to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled as if it were already true. What if everything you've ever longed for was already a part of you, a present reality waiting to be fully embraced?

This realization didn't come in a sudden flash of enlightenment. It was a gradual unfolding, a gentle awakening to the truth of who I am. I started by simply paying attention to the present moment, noticing the small details I used to overlook: the way the light filters through the leaves, the sound of birdsong in the morning, the feeling of my feet on the ground. These seemingly ordinary experiences became portals to a deeper sense of connection, to myself, to the world around me, to something larger than myself. What small detail in your current environment can you focus on right now to bring yourself fully into this moment?

The more I focused on the present, the more I realized how much I already had. I have my health, my loved ones, my passions, my purpose. I have the ability to breathe, to feel, to experience the incredible richness of life. And in that realization, gratitude overflowed. It wasn't a forced or contrived gratitude; it was a natural outpouring of appreciation for the abundance that already surrounded me. This aligns with Neville's teachings on feeling the feeling of the wish fulfilled. It's not just about thinking positive thoughts; it's about embodying the emotion associated with your desired reality. What are three things you can appreciate about your life right now, in this very moment, feeling the genuine emotion of gratitude?

The mental chatter hasn't completely disappeared, but it's lost its grip. When a negative thought arises, I simply acknowledge it, observe it without judgment, and then gently redirect my attention back to the present. It's like training a puppy. You don't get angry when it wanders off; you simply guide it back to where you want it to be. This is akin to Neville's emphasis on controlling your inner conversations, choosing to dwell on thoughts and feelings that align with your desired reality. If your thoughts were a puppy, how would you gently guide them back to the present moment, back to the feeling of your wish fulfilled?

This sense of already having has permeated every aspect of my life. It’s not about complacency or giving up on my dreams. It’s about approaching them from a place of fullness, not lack. It’s about knowing that I am already worthy, already capable, already loved. And from that place of knowing, I can create anything I desire. This is the power of assumption that Neville spoke of – living as if your desires are already manifest. What would you create if you knew, without a doubt, that you already had everything you needed to succeed, embodying the feeling of that success right now?

This isn't just a story I'm telling myself. It's the truth I'm living. It's the feeling that permeates every cell of my being. It's the overflowing cup of gratitude that I carry with me wherever I go. And it's available to you too, right now, in this very moment. All you have to do is pause, breathe, and remember. This is the kingdom of heaven within, the divine spark that resides in each of us. It's not something we have to earn or achieve; it's our birthright. Can you feel it, even just a little, that sense of inherent abundance and worthiness within you, the feeling of your wish already fulfilled, the presence of the divine within?
