"I have a poor-man mentality"
A Money Problem
GK wrote:
Darel, I have a problem that I have had for years and years. It is a problem with money and lack of it. I know that I have a poor man mentality, and I am trying hard to get out of it.
I am in a commissioned sales business that seems to be feast or famine. More famine than feast lately. All of my credit cards are maxed; I can't even pay the minimum mo. pays on them. So, I am seeing money go away from me instead of to me.
Everyone tells me to go and get a regular job with a monthly salary, but I try to look at the greener grass on the other side, and when I get there, the grass is brown. All my life I have been struggling with these types of problems, and I am sick and tired of it and drastically need a change in my "Being".
I am talented in many ways, make friends easily, and most of the time I have a good outlook on life. Like "things will get better", but, it seems lately they are only getting worse.
I am concerned about my future and the future of my family if I don't make an about face in my life and start to attract the "Being Choice" that I want. I want to be successful and rich, and happy. I am in the midst of reading your book as I type this and I seem to be having a hard time with the EGO thing of my past.
I know that my EGO chooses the wrong ways, but in practice to put my EGO to death is not that easy. So, if you can give me some golden nuggets that I can apply to my situation, I will greatly appreciate it.
GK
A BEING Solution:
GK, you, like a great many others trying to survive in these trying times, are in a catch-22 situation that sort of feeds upon itself. Your lack of sufficient income has you feeling poor, and when you feel poor, you’ll just naturally repel the money you desperately want to attract.
What you must have, in order to attract money, is a prosperity consciousness, which is nothing more complicated than feeling good about yourself as you reflect on your positive cash flow and your relationship to money.
What you have, now, is called a poverty consciousness. That’s when money flows away from you like water flows off a ducks back.
If you’re serious about solving your money problem, you will have no choice but to create a new relationship to money. You must acquire a prosperity consciousness. In essence, that means you must change how you relate to money in a way that will have you become a magnet for attracting it.
The creative process in man is BE DO HAVE. In other words, you must choose to BE prosperous before you’ll do what will be necessary to HAVE your cash flow turn positive.
But there’s a big step that must be taken before you can begin the process of creating your new prosperous reality. You must give up your attachment to your old way of being. You see, GK, you actually created that negative-cash-flow problem. The reality you now endure with displeasure is the reality created by your previous BEING choice.
Until you get that you created the problem, you’re stuck with it. To change your life, you must take full responsibility for what you’ve created and then reject it—rebel against it. You must say NO to what you don’t want before you can say YES to what you do want.
Look closely at your life, and you’ll see that your current reality (who you are being) is your excuses for having failed. First you must give up you attachment to being a failure. I know you’ll not agree with this at first, but a prime truth about life is that we attract what belongs with whom we’ve chosen to be.
Look at what you’ve attracted into your life and you will know who you are!
Another way to accept responsibility for what’s in your life, is to acknowledge that: Intention = results, always. As soon as you can accept that formula as a fact of life, you can take another look at what’s in your life now, realize that what you have is what you intended, and then change your intention.
I want you to see that taking full responsibility for your life is what gives you back the power to change it. You have the power now, (you’ve always had it) to change your reality by simply choosing a new way of BEING.
So, GK, destroy your attachment to status quo, (give up your excuses for failure) and then we’ll begin the process of creating a new you.
Visualize yourself BEING wealthy. Your income, now, far exceeds your expenses. You’ve just come back from a vacation cruise with more money in the bank than when you left. How does that feel?
You’re living in your new home, driving a new car, and life couldn’t be better. Now, empower that vision with joy and enthusiasm. How would that feel to be living your dream? Once you’ve captured that feeling, choose to be the one living in that dream. Choose to BE wealthy.
Assuming that you’ve chosen to BE Wealthy; what would you be Doing now? I suspect that you’d be working at creating a consciousness that would attract money. So, how do you do that?.
What you must have in order to attract money, is a prosperity consciousness. But it’s next to impossible to attract money as long as your cash flow remains negative.
To convert your cash flow from negative to positive, you have two choices; either you cut your expenses or increase your income. And since you’d need a prosperity consciousness to attract money, I would suggest that you budget your expenses. It won’t be easy, but you can do it if you’ve truly made the being choice of BEING wealthy.
Once your cash flow turns positive, focus your attention on noticing how good that feels. Be grateful; thank God for your abundance. Being grateful for what you have opens the channel for receiving more.
Notice, now that you’re feeling prosperous, that your income has increased. Revel in the magic of the Universe and BE Grateful for the increase. Now you see how it works, you can keep the channel opening wider and wider.
What you’ve just seen, here, is the laws of the Universe in action. What Laws?
We become what we think about.
We attract what belongs with us
To him that hath it shall be given and he shall have more abundance
You have just made a conscious BEING choice that put the Laws of the Universe to work to solve a big problem in your life. Doesn’t that make you feel powerful?
