Andre Agassi became the number one tennis player in the world… and felt nothing. 😳

He revealed this in his memoir, Open, along with something that stunned tennis fans everywhere: he hated tennis, and he always had.

From the day Andre was born, his father had one goal for him, which was to become the number one player in the world. Andre spent his childhood hitting ball after ball, and he’s said himself that tennis was never his choice.

So in 1995, when he reached number one, he expected it to make sense of everything. Instead, it left him feeling empty.

Within two years, he’d fallen all the way to number 141 in the world.

That’s when his coach gave him a choice: walk away from tennis, or start over. Andre chose the latter, and this time he played for reasons of his own. 

He went back to small tournaments on the Las Vegas courts he grew up on, and he started pouring his heart into helping kids in his hometown, which grew into a school he founded for at-risk children.

In 1999, he climbed all the way back to number one.

Reaching the top felt empty while it was his father’s dream, and it meant so much more once he’d chosen it for himself. 

Andre retired from tennis in 2006, and he says that now he wakes up with more purpose than he ever did as world number 1 💖

I’ve always believed that manifesting is ultimately a healing experience. When you manifest a True Desire, it brings you closer to who you are.

False Desires work differently. They’re the desires we absorb from other people’s ideas of success, and they can look wonderful on paper. When they show up, they tend to leave us feeling depleted.

The tricky part is that a False Desire can feel completely real while you’re thinking about it. Your thinking mind often can’t tell the difference on its own 🤔

My go-to tool for this is the Stop and Drop Technique from my book Manifest Anything You Want. Here’s a quick version you can try today.

Stop. Bring your attention to your heart and say, out loud or in your head: “I am now open and willing to connect with my intuition to receive wisdom for my highest good and for the highest good of all.”

Drop. Place your hands over your heart and take 1 Healing Breath of Serenity (see below on how to do this).

Then bring to mind one desire you’ve been dreaming about and notice how you feel. If you feel open and expansive, you’re looking at a True Desire, and if something in you closes up and contracts, that desire may not be yours after all.

Here’s my invitation for you this week… pick one desire you’ve been working toward and give it the Stop and Drop treatment.

Whatever you discover, it’s good news. If it’s a False Desire, you can lovingly let it go and make room for something that’s yours. If it’s a True Desire… congratulations! Every True Desire you follow brings you home to who you truly are 💖
