We
know that everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence. After every
night, there is a day. At the end of a tunnel, you usually find a ray of light.
If for some reason, you find yourself to be in mid of many troubles, that does
not mean that those troubles will remain always there. Sometime, troubles make
you aware of the circumstances why they have come about, if they are there in
result of your wrong decisions and/or you have mismatched your resources with
your targets.
Similarly, poverty is a choice that we
make everyday without our active knowledge. It's the choice to be
uncreative, feel limited in resources, thinking inside the box, smaller than
life, deeply powerless, incapable of receiving love, and not believing that
anything is possible. Poverty thinking is a disease and an unconscious
choice that is based in the ignorance of our true power. This unawareness
is the one deciding factor as to whether someone continues to remain broke and
struggling for another year, or starts to shift their energy into receiving a
new source of income next week.
The moment you choose to believe in any
poverty based thought, you start thinking more small, limited and negative
thoughts about life. It has a snowball affect to it, where you begin to
attract more limiting thoughts based in that misunderstanding. When
negative thinking becomes your habit, you begin to invent thoughts that support
your old poverty minded thoughts. The repetitive cycle of poverty
thinking is a social disease that festers and feeds upon itself.
Every time we identify with the poverty
mindset in other person who thinks there is "not enough", we slowly
inherit and mirror their disease. By accepting the limiting beliefs of
others, we forget our original abundant nature, and stop realizing who we
really are, are all-powerful beings. The moment we can understand the
foundational lie that poverty is based upon, and take full responsibility for
the suffering we are creating through our choices, then we can begin choosing a
new path and acting from a new mindset to create a new world.
It's good to know that poverty thinking is
not our original nature. Our real inherent nature has no boundaries or
limitations on what is possible and what isn't. This original abundant mind is
something we were born with, and is rooted in knowing that we are all
absolutely loved, free and totally abundant. Poverty consciousness is a
limiting mindset that was inherited by your community in order to be accepted,
fit in, and welcomed into the social norm. We often would rather be accepted by
others than seen as an outcast who is believing they are bigger, better and
richer. If your friends, family and community never had any poverty
thoughts on any level, you wouldn't have it either. You would only know
how to be creative in ways where you'd think anything is possible, and know
deep down that abundance was your birthright.
When I connect with people who are
struggling financially, I always find there is one thing they have in common.
They all continuously choose to support their old limiting thoughts and
negative beliefs around money. Rather than actually doing something
radically different and exciting to move through them, people live and hide
underneath their excuses. They become cowards to discovering their real
power, hiding behind their pride, rather than revealing and healing their
feelings of fear, self-judgment and financial intolerance. Each time their mind
unconsciously creates this pattern of choosing a desperate needy response to
life. The habit becomes so natural that
they have to something very radical to alleviate this perpetual addictive state
of financial frustration. They have to accept the fact that they are
following their old excuses, and now choosing to live a life that is
continuously moving through the fear.
Remember, the impoverished mindset is one
that continuously resists fear, controlling the emotions and creating
distractions so they do not have to feel their fear. This type of
controlling energy tends to say NO to life, denying new ideas, opportunities
and people. It abides in a feeling there is never enough to go around,
and we must compete, suck it up, and live a life of compromise if we are to
survive. It thinks you must stick to doing your duty, live in
obligations, always work hard, struggle to survive, and not think too big just
so we don't upset others. It's in this very uncreative approach to life
that people escape from their true power and get to be irresponsible for their
real life purpose which is to know themselves.
Poverty thinking is the one disease that
can completely destroy the great potential of love and joy your life
contains. People continue choosing to play small, helpless, lazy,
abandoned, unloved and unwanted because there's nothing
they can do about it and
it is their "destiny". It's actually a very selfish self
absorbed way to live, never considering how to help out others, and thinking
only of yourself and how your desires, wants and needs are not quite fully
met. Poverty consciousness is perhaps the most unconscious, self
destructive and addictive pattern that people have which will ruin their
chances at enjoying their life.
The poverty mindset can be brilliant in
the way that it will rationalize things, thinking that by consuming fewer
resources we are thus helping the world out and saving our planet. By
spending less money we become wealthier and less dependant on money or the
world for our survival. Of course, there is a grain of truth in
everything, and the best path is to create a world of total sustainability
within a conscious loving lifestyle. Yet the intention of holding back
out of fear and not fully honoring your true power is the greatest loss of
all. If you're constantly holding tight onto money, you're creating
struggle and strive within yourself and always feeling that you don't have
enough. This manifests in many forms, one will show up as your inability
to contribute your full unlimited unbounded joy into your community. You cannot
show up for a wild free abundant loving life purpose if you are holding tight
onto anything and living in fear on any level.
The feeling of being poor is so terrifying
for some people that every thought and action becomes about avoiding that experience.
Many people in this world choose to become insanely rich based out of their
deepest fear of being broke. This avoidance however morphs into another
type of poverty consciousness, as it never allows the mind to relax and rest
into its divine original nature. Any type of non-relaxed fear based
thinking is going to have a feeling of poverty connected to it on some
level. Be aware that poverty consciousness is a very sneaky beast and it
can show up in your life in a large variety of forms. It may be as
obvious as feeling you don't have enough money to pay your rent each month, the
paranoia that someone may rip you off, the idea that there is only one soul
mate in the world for you, or the idea that you have to eat everything on your
dinner plate, even if you are not hungry. Just know that if any thought
is formed out of fear, it is based in some level of poverty thinking.
The first step to transcending poverty
consciousness is to find out exactly where it is showing up in your life and in
your thinking. It is only through the awareness of these negative
thoughts that you can liberate your mind from repeating them. The moment
a limiting thought flows through the brain you must step back from it, see it
from a distance, and don't emotionally buy into the story that accompanies
it. When you are able to identify exactly where, when and how you
emotionally fall into your poverty stricken belief system, then you have a
chance at moving beyond it. Yet, you must keep a very close watchful
eye on poverty thinking if you're ever going to get beyond it. When you
can see how you justify being stuck, poor, or happily struggling then you'll be
able to find a way to invent a new story about how good it feels to no longer
live in a world filled with excuses.
People often tell themselves that its
easier to remain stuck in just having enough to survive, than to own up to the
fact that they are a super powerful manifesting being who can have anything
they desire. If they owned that empowering thought, it would either mean
their whole life was some sort of failure or they were a completely stupid and
ignorant person. So people make up all sorts of wonderful "feel
good" stories about their poverty, saying that it is more holy to be poor,
or its not ok to take "too much" and this takes up their energy for
remembering we have an infinite supply of creativity, love, energy and
consciousness available. These are the ingredients which actually create
money!
Living in poverty consciousness is
living a lie, based in deep denial to knowing the magical manifesting potential
energy inside you. The consequences for continuing to believe in such a
deep misunderstanding are the experiences of struggle, pain, desperation, and
lack. The more money you feel you don't have the more busy you become to
fulfill this need. Poverty thinking creates an energetic distraction from
knowing your intimate connection with the source. The mind is obsessed with
being right, and for it to admit how its choosing each day to remain stuck
manifesting more poverty stricken situations, would completely destroy it.
No matter how rich or poor you are (even
if you're a gazillionaire) the ego/mind will be addicted to wanting more.
It will always tell you that you need more and no matter how hard you try, you
can never completely satisfy the demanding desiring ego. Its purpose is
wanting, wanting, wanting and wanting more wanting! This incessant
wanting creates the feeling of poverty. So it is important to remember
that our ego is not designed to know what true satisfaction is, this is the
purpose of the soul and discovering your spiritual nature. The mind
doesn't have the time to be curious about this divinity inside you. It
wants you to believe it is a lie, and that you need more stuff if you ever want
to be happy. This lie that more things equals a better life is very deep, and
if accepted over time it may cause you to lose sight of your source of true
happiness, which is in your life purpose and spiritual nature.
To completely break away from poverty
consciousness you simply have to commit your life to a new way of being.
You have to totally retrain your brain to believe that anything is possible. Perhaps the most hidden secret to
transcending poverty consciousness is also the most powerful one which is
this. Ultimately, when we can truly relax into the core of our worst
feelings of poverty, the peace found in that relaxation contains an unstoppable
resource of abundance, love, healing and creativity inside it. It is only
through facing our fear that we can be released from it. What happens
this is we find a state of total emptiness inside that also contains our
greatest fullness. We do nothing and merge with everything.
It comes down to dropping out of the head
and into our heart, that we finally relax, and discover the natural state of
abundance inside. The heart contains the greatest freedom that is truly
freeing and life enriching. The feeling of great abundance naturally
comes when you live from the heart and abide in feelings of gratitude that are
already there. Check it out and see for yourself! Imagine what would your
week be like if you lived from your heart, and only practiced gratitude for the
life you already have? It is first through accepting the idea that you
are enough that can later manifest into the experience of having
enough. If you're thinking for one minute about what you don't have,
it means you've missed 60 seconds of feeling loved, rich, and abundant about
what you do have.
Poverty thinking is a cheap way of getting
scraps of love, which ultimately end up costing everyone in the end. It can be
very enticing to stay in as other people around you don't want to leave their
habits, and thus will give you tons of extra sympathy when you're broke and
struggling in the dirt with them. It is all about believing in the lie that you
are not an all powerful manifesting being that creates all suffering.
This lie is the greatest sin one can ever make. It is the original missed
mark of mankind, and is causing you to miss out on the deep source of joy
that is at the core of your being. You need to revamp your attitude and mould
it towards becoming a rich person as to how you would deal with yourself,
others and judicious treatment of your resources without being jealous with
other’s progress. You need to learn how the other one got success while you had
the same set of circumstances around you. If you lack something, you must try
to gain that and you will transcend your poverty consciousness soon.
Be Happy – Transcend Your
Poverty Consciousness Forever.
