You can test your creative power based upon your desires. You may desire something you think you cannot afford, or you don’t have the time or the know-how to enjoy it. You can think of a thousand reasons why its possession is impossible; but . . hearing that imagination creates reality . . you can imagine you have it. But to imagine is not enough; you must have faith enough in your imaginal act to believe in its reality.
When you imagine you are the person you want to be, you must firmly believe you already are it; then wait in faith for your assumption to appear in your world, for that imaginal act has its own appointed hour. It will ripen and flower. If it seems long to you . . wait, for it is sure and will not be late.
Neville Goddard
