If you want magnificent abundance you have to believe you can have it.
You have to cultivate a firm and unwavering belief in yourself. You have to believe that the things you desire are possible for you, and you have to have enormous faith in your own tremendous success.
Belief is the number one ingredient of manifesting abundance. That’s because when you believe something is true, you go into that “state.”
Ask yourself:
- Do I really believe that I have what it takes?
- Do I really believe that I am capable of the kind of success/ money/ happiness that I desire?
- Do I have faith in my power to succeed?
- Can I keep growing my belief in myself until it becomes so strong that I feel I already possess what I want?
Another thing to do is to identify what exactly abundance means to you.
If you can get clear on this, it will be easier for you to manifest. For some people, abundance is earning a six-figure salary, while for others, it’s having a bigger house in a better neighborhood and taking a couple more vacations each year. Some, it’s the freedom to travel more and buy nice things. Someone else might be prioritizing an abundance of health or creative ideas. You might want all of these things! It doesn’t matter, what does matter is the clarity of vision.
If you have a specific sum in mind, write it down. If you want an extra 20 thousand dollars a year, be clear about it.
It will be much easier for you to believe in your ability to become successful and have what it takes if you know exactly what you want.
Once you know what abundance means to you, and you accept that you have to cultivate a firm belief system, you can start to look at what comes up in resistance to that self-belief.
We have a lot of integrated beliefs that do not serve us in our quest for a happier, more abundant life. Often these are learned in childhood, passed down through our parents or school.
Many of these negative beliefs are hard to let go of, especially when it comes to money and what we feel we deserve to receive.
The biggest negative belief that I have come across in my experience is the belief many of us share. The belief that we are not worthy.
It’s a big one, and no matter how universal it is, you must do all you can to change this belief for as long as you hold it, you are holding yourself apart from your abundance.
- You might feel you are unworthy of receiving money because your parents never did.
- You might feel you are unworthy of monetizing your creative work because it’s not good enough in your mind.
- You might feel you are unworthy because you’ve never felt proud of yourself.
- You might feel you are unworthy because your life until now has felt small.
The list of reasons for feeling unworthy is long and specific to our individual lives and past experiences.
The bottom line is that as long as you continue to feel unworthy, you use it as an excuse for procrastination.
Feeling not good enough, means you create more and more reasons to not focus on what you want.
When you feel unworthy you just create more procrastination which keeps you from getting where you really want to be. It’s so easy to rationalize this form of resistance.
As Steven Pressfield says in his excellent book “The War of Art,” we don’t tell ourselves, “I’m never going to write my symphony.” Instead, we say, “I am going to write my symphony; I’m just going to start tomorrow.”
Start to change this belief of being unworthy today. Read stories about people who have done the things you dream of doing.
What did they do to get there? I bet you none of them got there by procrastinating and feeling unworthy.
At the heart of every success story are passion, belief, and self-worth.
When you have these three things you get laser-like focus to take action to make your dreams reality.
Wondering how to release any feelings of unworthiness?
- Affirmations.
- Meditation.
- Journaling.
- Working to raise your vibration overall.
- Letting go of past resentments and negative patterns.
Yes it’s hard work, but it’s totally within your reach.
You must believe that you are a 100% worthy of the incredible, infinite abundance of the Universe. Just as every single person alive is.
There is no real difference between you and someone who you admire who seems to have it all. Yes, they may have had a different start in life, different influences and so on, but in terms of being a human being capable of manifesting all that you desire, there is no difference.
You are more capable than you know!
