Big Sean talks about trusting his feelings over external signs when manifesting goals. He says the exact how of outcomes matters less than internal conviction, and cites early tracks like "I'm Gonna Make a Million and One Dollars" as proof he was applying manifestation principles while making party music.

How did you learn to trust in the universe that you would manifest something when there's nothing happening for years? How did you continue to trust the invisible bridge that would take you from where you are to where you want to be?
You can't trust everything you see, but you can trust everything you feel. It's one of those things where I didn't know how it was going to happen. And I think that's one of the things we don't have to worry about all the time, is the how. I think we get racked up on those details of, like, how is it going to happen, how? But if you feel it, if you trust it, then you also have to let it. Let it out in the world and know that it's going to happen at the right time. You just got to prepare for it. So that's kind of like, was always my mentality and even, like, in my early music. Like, I do make, like, a lot of fun music, party music, but I always have a sense of, like, my essence, of my spirit in some of those songs too. Like, you know, even songs like Bounce Back or even. One of my first songs was I'm Gonna Make a Million and One Dollars. And it was, like, still, like, manifestation, but really, yeah, it was like I was applying it to, like, my stuff, you know, But I also was just, like, having fun with it, but I think that' too, to have fun with it.
