Dear Katherine,

I’m seeking your opinion on the journey to success. Specifically how to manifest the outcome you are hoping for. Maybe you’re in fact not the best person to askthis given your history of manipulation and violence in order to get what you want but alas here we are. I do know you select your relationships and goals carefully but maybe you could shed some light on confidence and how to command a room? How to set yourself up to win! What’s the secret to being successful in all my endeavours?

Sincerely

Kila

My Dearest Kila,

You’re right—I do have a reputation for getting what I want, though I prefer to call it determination with flair. But since manipulation and body counts aren’t exactly on your vision board (probably for the best), let’s focus on the more socially acceptable ways to manifest success.

First, confidence isn’t something you wait to feel—it’s something you decide to have. Walk into a room like you own it, even if you don’t. Speak like people should listen, even if they weren’t planning to. And never, ever ask permission to take up space.

Second, success isn’t about luck—it’s about strategy. Set goals like you set traps: precise, intentional, and impossible to escape. If you want something, act like it’s already yours and make the world catch up. That’s manifestation.

And finally, relationships? Choose them wisely. Align yourself with people who elevate you, not anchor you. If they wouldn’t clap when you win, why let them sit at your table?

The secret to success, darling, is simple: decide you’re going to win, act like you already have, and never apologize for it.

With all my wicked little heart,

Katherine
