People love to talk about "manifesting" or "shifting their mindset." That’s just a way to avoid looking at the bank account or the mirror. Waking up to reality means acknowledging that the world doesn’t owe you a "win" just because you showed up and didn’t break anything. The universe isn't indifferent, it’s worse. It’s busy. It has its own schedule, and your reality is just a footnote in a much larger, much messier document that nobody is actually proofreading.
