Assume It Now: Why Waiting Kills Your Dream
Most people don’t realise it, but the biggest thing keeping them from the life they want isn’t the lack of money, or bad timing, or even not knowing how to “manifest”.
It’s waiting.
Waiting for the right sign.
Waiting until they feel “ready.”
Waiting until circumstances prove it’s possible.
Waiting for their dream to unfold in front of them because they’ve made all the right plans and completed all the right actions.
But here’s the truth: the longer you wait, the longer your dream waits too.
Neville Goddard called this out clearly: assume the wish fulfilled. Not halfway, not “one day,” not “maybe when the numbers line up.” Now.
The Trap of Waiting
Why do people wait? Because it feels safer. If you don’t commit, you can’t be disappointed. If you hedge your bets, you think you’re protecting yourself.
But that “safety” is exactly what keeps you stuck.
Waiting says: I don’t really believe this is mine.
Waiting says: I’ll try, but I won’t risk being wrong.
Waiting says: I want the dream, but I’ll stay in the old story until something else pulls me out.
Waiting says: I’ll believe it when I see it.
And life answers back: okay, we’ll keep waiting too.
The Law of Assumption
Neville’s law is simple, but radical: live as though the wish is already fulfilled.
That doesn’t mean faking it or lying to yourself. It means shifting state — stepping into the version of you who already has it.
It means:
Choosing thoughts that align with your dream, not your fear.
Making daily decisions from your new identity and thus your new reality, not from your old one.
Feeling the relief, joy, and normalcy of already being there.
And when you do? Reality rearranges itself around you. It absolutely must. There is no avoiding it.
My $1K Experiment
One morning, I decided I would receive $1,000 by day’s end. That was it. No forcing, no spreadsheets, no checking. I simply set the intention, then went about my day.
By that evening, $996.96 landed in my account — a rebate from the Inland Revenue Department. I hadn’t filled in a form, hadn’t asked, hadn’t followed up. It just appeared.
That’s the law of assumption in action. Not because I strained for it. Not because I begged or hoped. But because I assumed it, let it go, and lived as though it was already done.
Practical Steps: How to Assume It Now
Set the identity. Start your day with: “I am the person who already has [X].” Say it until it feels natural.
Stop peeking. Don’t look for proof or check for signs. That’s just waiting in disguise.
Act from it. Make one decision today as though you already had what you want — how would you walk, talk, or choose differently?
Rest in it. Fall asleep imagining the relief of already being there. Let it sink into your subconscious.
Waiting feels safe, but it’s an illusion. You’re not avoiding disappointment — you’re avoiding your own infinite power.
When you assume it now, you step into the reality where it already exists, and life always catches up. You’re quantum leaping without even realising it.
So tell me — what are you done waiting for?
