Why Don’t Positive Desires Produce Positive Outcomes?
The Real Reason Your Manifestation Isn’t Matching Your Intentions

Want to know why sincere desires for positive outcomes don’t often match actual results? I’m going to offer an answer that may finally end the mystery of all mysteries. The answer is quite simple—yet it often eludes even the most diligent positive thinkers. Understanding it is the key to creating outcomes that actually mirror desire.

It’s not necessarily because you don’t work hard enough or aren’t disciplined enough. It’s not because you didn’t win the lottery of exceptional looks, inherited wealth, or a healthier or more stable upbringing. It’s not because you’re unlucky or unlovable.

You know the saying, “It’s the thought that counts”? That sentiment couldn’t be more accurate—especially when it comes to the incongruence between what we desire and what actually unfolds. More specifically, it’s about the thought inside the thought.

That’s the insight that solves the age-old dilemma of why conditions often don’t match intentions. Let me break it down for you—and once you see it, you’ll never again wonder why things don’t turn out as you hoped.

Understanding the Thought Inside the Thought
How Inner Beliefs Can Cancel Out Sincere Desires

A particular hypnotherapy client comes to mind. She was deeply frustrated. Despite diligently listening to her hypnosis sessions, thinking the “right” way, and sincerely trying to apply what she understood to be more evolved thinking—she was gaining little traction. And to make matters worse, she witnessed others succeeding with the very same support I offer through my Practice.

One day, in session, she voiced her frustration. I responded candidly, “It’s the thought inside the thought.”

She tilted her head, puzzled. Her expression on the virtual screen said it all: What the heck does that mean?

Simply put: There’s your outer thought—your conscious desire for a goal, experience, or outcome. And then, there’s what I call your thought position about that very thing—the inside thought position.

When Desire and Thought Position Don’t Match
How Inner Contradictions Disrupt Momentum and Success

Let’s look at an example. One of the most common inside thought misalignments comes up around money. I recall a client who had just finished what she herself described as a transformative hypnotherapy session. But as it ended, she said she couldn’t schedule a follow-up because she’d already budgeted her money.

Her outer thought reflected the resonance of her breakthrough. But her inside thought position was: I can’t afford it. That inner stance was driven by conditions—without realizing that your thought is independent of any condition.

It costs nothing—not one red cent—to think independent of circumstance and to align your inside thought position with your resonating outer desire. A more congruent thought might be: I permit what is necessary to accommodate what resonates.

That’s not denial, or delusion, or wishful thinking. It’s congruence. And here’s the breakthrough: Changing your thought position costs you nothing.

But it does permit confluence—the flowing together of two things: your outer resonating thought and your inner thought position. Confluence is what permits. Write that down.

Beneficial outcomes don’t magically appear from this alignment—but they do begin to occur consequently, because thought is no longer undermining itself.

This is the sacred key to witnessing conditions that reflect your intent, rather than endlessly hoping for them. (Hope, by the way, is often a sincere outer desire—but one that hasn’t yet been anchored to a congruent inside thought.)

Aligning Inner Thought for Real Results
Why Inner Freedom Determines What Becomes Possible

Another example: ‘Troy’ is passionate about securing funding for his innovative product. His outer thought is: This product is so beneficial. But his inside thought position? My presentation probably won’t be convincing.

The thought inside the thought is your feeling position—and if it contradicts your desired outcome, it weakens your momentum and results.

This is why so many endeavors begin strong and then fizzle. The inside thought position begins aligned… but then starts to divide, influenced by external noise and absorbed propaganda.

Ask any actor—statistically in one of the most competitive industries. They may quickly book a role or sign with an agent right at the start. But then, as the “actor’s life” narrative creeps in, their inside thought gets corrupted.

So how do you fix this incongruence?

As I mentioned earlier, you remind yourself—profoundly—that you have the freedom to think independent of circumstances, history, or anyone’s opinion. Need proof? Try this:

Think of a bright yellow elephant.

As far as we know, there’s no such thing as a naturally occurring yellow elephant. And yet, your mind just imagined one. That’s the power of your thought—independent of “facts.”

Nothing stops my client from saying: Yes, I’ll schedule my follow-up and welcome what’s necessary to support what resonates. Will this lead to me getting a flood of cancellations? Not if the consideration comes from the integrity of this understanding.

The more deeply this idea sinks in, the more leverage you gain in allowing beneficial outcomes to flow.

Let me be real: Resetting your unconscious, typical thought patterns—especially to reflect independence from conditions—can feel challenging. That’s only because conditioned assumptions have become normalized.

But in truth, thought always precedes what follows. We simply allow what follows—our current conditions—to backfeed into our thinking, creating a self-perpetuating loop.

(When you pick up my Sourcing Power book during this weekend’s Power Blitz Bonanza, check out Chapter 6 where I go in-depth on this Feedback Loop and how to exit it.)

So go ahead—think of that yellow elephant again. You may never see one in real life, but you can think of one. And if you can think beyond what “is,” imagine how that independence of thought impacts what is actually possible.

Be your own salvation.
Your yellow elephant is waiting.
