From Homeless to Wealthy: How I Used Visualization to Manifest My Future

Visualization is a powerful tool in the quest for wealth and success. It’s a crucial step in every process. After all, everything that has come to be started with a vision.

I can attest to the power of visualization throughout my life. It was the key to going from being homeless to building wealth. I had to see everything I didn’t have as if it had already manifested.

Bringing ‘Mercedes’ to life

I have wanted a Mercedes Benz for most, if not all, of my adult life. So, I began to manifest it. I named my Toyota ‘Mercedes’ from Day 1. Very few people understood the logic behind it, but I understood the importance of that visualization process. I knew an actual Mercedes was just in the ethers, and I was claiming it.

One day, I went to the Toyota dealer to put my car in the shop. As I was leaving, the gentleman at the lot pointed out that my old car would keep giving me problems and suggested getting a new one.

I told him I didn’t want another Toyota. I told him my next car was going to be a Mercedes. He pointed me to a beautiful black Mercedes they had in the corner. I became a Mercedes Benz owner that day.

This happened because I visualized and manifested my dream car. I had called my Toyota ‘Mercedes’ and visualized having a Mercedes Benz for a long time. I believed that I would have a Mercedes, and that vision came to pass.

Today, that Mercedes is paid off. My son drives it, and I have another Mercedes. All of this happened because I understood the importance of visualization.

Manifesting the man of my dreams

I visualized what I wanted in a husband long before my husband and I met. India Arie’s song ‘he heals me’ perfectly captured my vision of the man with whom I wanted to build a family. I wanted someone who would be everything she sang about, and I visualized that person.

I visualized what it felt like to have a person who heals me in my life, and I got exactly that in my husband. I didn’t see what he looked like, but I knew it was him based on how he made me feel because I remembered that feeling during my visualization. He heals me and knows the real me.

That’s what visualization does. It takes you to another world and makes you feel things you have never felt before.

Buying our first home

My husband and I were homeless before our journey to wealth began. When we were newly married, we wanted to buy a house before the year was up. We found a house right around the corner from where we lived.

My husband parked his truck across the street from the new house. He visualized us as a family coming home and pulling up into the garage. He visualized us getting out of the car and walking into the house. He spent a lot of time in front of that house visualizing.

When we eventually bought the house and moved in, the neighbor told us he had my husband’s license plate written down because he looked suspicious when they saw him sitting outside the house. My husband explained to him that he was visualizing us buying the house.

We barely had enough money to move into the house when our offer got accepted, but we moved in either way. This was not because of all the actions we took but because of our capacity to visualize.

We paid off our debt, saved money, and got a VA loan because my husband is a veteran. However, none of these steps were as important as my husband’s visualization process. That vision manifested, and we had our first home.

Million-dollar home on a ‘dime’

When it was time to move after I had gotten a new job, my husband and I lived in a small apartment for over a year because we couldn’t find a house that we loved and could afford. I found a million-dollar home that had been remodeled. This home was incredibly gorgeous.

I took pictures of it and put them on the wall. I told myself I’d get that house. I didn’t know how because we couldn’t afford a million dollars at that point, but I knew that house was ours.

I visualized it and believed it was happening for us. Knowing how much we loved that house, our real estate agent found us another with the same floor model two doors down. The house was selling for way less than a million dollars, but it needed to be remodeled. So, we made our offer.

My husband is a contractor, so we knew the remodel wouldn’t be too stressful for us. I showed him the pictures I had on my wall and told him I wanted our home to look exactly like the million-dollar home two doors down.

My husband bought the same flooring, paint color, and everything else in that million-dollar home I wanted. I got it all, and our property value has skyrocketed. Our house is now worth over a million dollars, but we didn’t pay that amount for it.

I attribute all these great milestones to visualization. We took many actionable steps along the way, but those came later. Without an intentional visualization process, those big steps wouldn’t be as effective. You might not even be motivated to carry out those big steps if you don’t have a clear vision of how your life will be when you’ve achieved your goals.
