The King of Pentacles is a man of few words. Which means you really must pay attention, because this sh*t is important.

What Manifests

Confidence is what manifests. Plain and simple. And through our latte the King of Pentacles is letting you know that it manifests really effing fast.

It doesn’t matter if you’re confident about your goals, your fears, your whatever. If you’re confident about something, you’ll get it. Even if you’re confident that worrying protects you from realizing your fears, you’ll get more worry. Your entire life experience is based on your level of confidence in the thoughts you have. Period.

Does life seem a bit repetitive? Right. Because your thoughts are.

But Wait, There’s More

What’s more, and your ego isn’t going to like this, every single person in your life isn’t affecting your life. Not one bit. They are simply showing you exactly what you’re confident about. You are being given the chance to hone or refine your thoughts every single second of the day. But you first have to realize (and accept) that life is not happening to you. It really is happening through you. It’s happening for you.

I know it’s a bit hard to wrap your head around. It took me a bit to really grasp this, too. But once you dismiss your ego from justifying that you’re the victim of circumstance, you’ll easily see that life really is all about how you see yourself.

Our experiences with people are so we can experience ourselves. (This helps make sense of the whole “reality is consciousness experiencing itself.”)

Trying to Explain

Just look at the way your parents, friends, lovers, spouses, bosses, etc. are “treating you”. Because this is actually how you think of yourself. It’s how you are treating yourself, with your thoughts. That’s what you’re trying to tell yourself!

Every single opinion you hold of another person, animal, whatever is an opinion you hold of yourself. Because you wouldn’t be having the experience if it wasn’t.

Even things you see in passing are giving you cues about what you do or don’t want to experience. The quicker you fully dismiss or embrace, the quicker you do or don’t have the experience.

Realizing this. Embracing this, makes it so much easier to live life intentionally.

An Objective Look

Take an objective look at the people and situations in your life so you can uncover what parts apply to your most confident thoughts. Identify those areas. And if you don’t like the experience you’re having, change the thoughts surrounding them. Because there is literally N-O-T-H-I-N-G you experience that doesn’t come from your thoughts.

Time For An Upgrade

You see, life is an ongoing upgrade. Every single person, animal, place, thing, etc. in our lives is showing us exactly what we are confident about. Even that job you are stuck in is showing you that you are absolutely confident that you are stuck.

Start changing the conversation in your head. I don’t care if you believe it or not. Change the conversation and the world around you will change. It has no other choice. It’s how the world works. So just as you accept the Law of Gravity, accept the laws which govern this really cool aspect of life.

The Old You

As the change begins to unfold, realize that static may occur. Arguments and disagreements are just The Universe shifting the old version of you out of your life. Think of it as the new you disagreeing with the old you.

And keep in mind that even though it physically and mentally hurts to let someone go, you need to let go of the ones who exit because they no longer mirror back to you the budding version of you.
