Let’s start with a powerful truth, you will never get beyond scarcity or lack by simply striving for more. Instead, you must begin your journey beyond scarcity. In this blog post, we are going to explore your relationship with money, how money operates, and guide you on creating more money whenever you desire.
Understanding Scarcity vs. Abundance
First, let’s clarify the difference between scarcity and abundance. Scarcity is characterized by a mindset of worry and desperation, a constant fear that there isn’t enough. Abundance, on the other hand, embodies peace, gratitude, and love. Scarcity often stems from the belief that you must work harder for money, that you have to be deserving of it. This perspective treats money like a pie, and you must earn your small slice.
This notion can lead to overwhelm, pushing yourself too hard, and taking excessive action. However, if this belief held true, how would you explain the creation of 1,700 new millionaires every single day? Clearly, there’s more to money than most people think.
Money’s Reality vs. Societal Beliefs
It’s essential to recognize that many societal beliefs can hinder your ability to embrace abundance fully. The prevailing narrative often contradicts the idea of money’s ever-abundant nature. Most societal beliefs paint a picture of a broke, overwhelmed, overworked, and overweight population, living in scarcity.
Given this, it’s crucial to assess your sources of information. Does it make sense to learn about money from those who lack it, or would it be wiser to learn from individuals who have overcome financial challenges and created wealth?
Money: An Ever-Flowing Resource
Here’s a paradigm shift, money is not a finite resource that you need to earn or deserve. Instead, it is an ever-flowing, ever-abundant resource. When you worry about money, staying up late at night or calculating your finances obsessively, it doesn’t bring more money into your life. In fact, it pushes it away.
Worrying about money never solves problems; it exacerbates them. So, consider what causes financial pressure for you. Is it more money? Probably not. If you spend more than you earn, having more money won’t lead to wealth. Instead, a change in focus and perspective relieves financial pressure.
The Power of Beliefs
Let’s examine your beliefs about money. Many of these beliefs weren’t consciously chosen by you but were imposed by your environment, often early in life. It’s crucial to recognize that these beliefs may not serve your current goals and aspirations.
Ask yourself, when did you decide to believe that money is hard to make, or that you can’t be happy without a lot of it? These limiting beliefs may have originated from your upbringing or other influential experiences.
The Exercise That Can Transform Your Relationship with Money
To uncover and address these limiting beliefs, try a powerful exercise: Write a letter to money as if it were a person, expressing your feelings about it. Pour out everything, the doubts, frustrations, and anxieties. Then, step into the role of money and respond to the letter. This exercise can reveal your deepest beliefs about money and help you recognize what needs to change.
Abundance as a Choice
Remember this fundamental truth, you will never outgrow scarcity by chasing after more. True abundance begins with a shift in your mindset. Evaluate your relationship with money, cultivate a sense of gratitude and openness, and trust in its ever-abundant nature. When you start beyond scarcity, you open yourself up to a world of financial possibilities.
