Why don’t you have more money?
Monday, September 29th, 2008
Although limiting beliefs specifically concerning money can be the cause of your lack of abundance, the causes are usually a lot more general and can be found manifesting in many areas of your life, not just financial well-being.
- feeling unworthy
- not feeling a part of global community
- not feeling appreciated/loved
- fear of failure and success (these are really the same thing)
- perfectionistic attitutes
- fear of changes in others, for example that your friends will be jealous and start talking behind your back, and/OR that they will expect you to share your newfound fortune with them
- fear of losing it all
- belief that you lack certain skills and talents, which you also believe are necessary for financial success
- Fear that people who give you money will own you and exploit you
- Fear of partnerships because someone else might take credit for your work
- Fear of getting used to a better lifestyle and then not being able to continue supporting it
- Belief that there always has to be an exchange between things you give and things you get, and that you have to give a lot to get a lot
- Belief that people don’t want to help you or see you doing well, because people are stingy and always want to bring you down to their level
- Fear of confict
- Fear of being seen and of being criticized
- Fear of people expecting you to continue living up to your newfound success or committing to certain decisions/actions
- Fear of losing your freedom, ie. gaining all kinds of new obligations
One of the ways to find out what’s stopping you is to ask yourself what kind of a person you think makes lots of money? What talents and skills do you believe they have? Then, think about whether you fit that profile. Here are some examples:
- confidence with people
- talks easily with people
- has a big network
- charismatic
- easy-going
- great verbal skills
- not afraid to make propositions and represent herself/himself
- action-oriented
- lots of energy
- enthusiasm
- great leader
- knows how to handle conflict
- not bothered by criticism
- assertive, self-assured
- has had great mentors who were financially successful
- had a loving childhood
- determination
