Why it works:
1) It makes no attempt to control anything -> no fear
2) Your ego cannot attack a "surprise" because it doesn't know what it IS yet
3) You
feel ZERO resistance to the statement because you are NOT trying to be 100% certain
4) You feel excitement saying it and thinking it -> positive expectations
Zero resistance + Happy
Expectation = Easy Manifestations
There's only two ways to mess this up - the first is by trying to make the statement MORE concrete, solid and locked in. Lots of folks want to take this statement and change the word "bet" to "know" - don't do it!
Your ego is just playing off of your vanity that you feel you should be able to use the word KNOW instead of the word bet, because you're special and have magic certainty powers!
98% of you should let it stay
loose.
The other way to mess it up? Try to direct where the happy surprise should show up.
Here is my belief, distilled from my favorite teacher Florence Scovel Shinn: You can have anything you want, if you let God deliver it however He wants.
