Having Enough
Don't feel ashamed of being stuck in scarcity. In much of the world, you’re surrounded by a culture that repeatedly tells you that you don't have enough. Small children happily share anything they have. They must be taught to hoard what they have because there is not enough. They don’t understand that the family needs to use money to replace the possessions they would give away to others. That’s the beginning. Everything becomes a competition. In grade school, only the group that gets done first gets the reward. Later, grading is on a curve and you’re always wondering where you fit. You are urged to get more and more stuff, with the promise that it will bring you happiness. Of course, it won't... If I let down my own awareness, I am prone to feeling guilty because I am not buying enough stuff to make my contribution to something...I am not sure what. Becoming aware of the energy fields around you is one step toward reclaiming your own energy and searching for what will bring true joy and satisfaction. Discovering your true life work is another. This becomes your lifetime guideline. Use Embrace Prosperity, to learn how Logosynthesis processes can help you take these steps and engage in learning how to experience and achieve true abundance for yourself.
Book Excerpt
Embrace Prosperity
Life energy either enlivens you as it flows, or it blocks you if it doesn’t. It is in the right place or the wrong place. Carolyn’s energy not only wasn’t flowing, but she had left some of it locked in a memory for 50 years. In the midst of material wealth, she had never experienced having enough. She not only believed in scarcity; she was stuck in scarcity.
Are You Stuck Too?
If you believe “I don’t have enough” or “There isn’t enough”—whether that’s enough money, enough time, enough love, enough friends, or enough resources to do what you want to do in any area—then the answer is yes.
Laurie: I have been there. I once needed to make a daily choice between buying the lunch drink I wanted and the one I could afford. The difference in price was only two cents. This happened a long time ago, but the difference was very real to me when my personal spending budget was only five dollars a week.
Willem: I have been there, too. When I was 14 years old, my family was poor. One of my shoes had a hole in the toecap, because I had worn them for a long time. Because they were my only pair, I couldn’t bring them to the shoemaker’s shop to have them repaired. It took my parents weeks to collect the money for new shoes. In that time, I learned that there wasn’t enough.
After many years of struggle, we learned a process that helped us release the last vestiges of those struggles and discover the abundance that truly exists in our worlds.
This book will help you discover and experience abundance in your relationship to money. But it just might overlap into those other areas, too.
You Need to Start Where You Are Now
If you don’t feel like you have enough money, you’ve probably learned to believe some ideas like these:
- Money burns a hole in your pocket
- The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
- You can’t win for losing
- Money is the root of all evil
- One way to lose a friend is to lend him money
- Save it for a rainy day
- Marry a rich man—or woman
- Money doesn’t grow on trees
- You spend money like it’s going out of style
- We can’t afford this
- It’s only money
Did you hear your parents, grandparents or religious institutions insist that this is the truth, even the absolute truth? How did hearing them help you learn to believe in scarcity?
