Does the word “manifest” sound like magical thinking to you? Or does it remind you of the movie, The Secret, where all you need to do is think about something, and *poof,* it appears right in front of you?

Even though I teach people how to get what they want in life, I stay away from the word “manifesting” because I feel like it has been used and abused. If you feel the same and want to know how to t...
