changing my self-sabotaging belief about wealth and consequences of a rich man’s life
What keeps me from being rich?
“That’s life, Bro.” a friend told me, after I’ve described him my financial goals in contrast to my financial situation. Rather than being content with the status quo, I really wanted to discover why I still wasn’t rich yet.
My thinking has changed radically over the time of one year. I’ve become definitely more positive and confident. That radiates into all of my life areas. As a believer in the law of attraction, I’m determined to work within me first, before taking action and working “outside” to achieve any goal. When I’m no vibrational match for my goal, all of my efforts are nearly worthless and self-sabotaging. I’ve shifted my emotions around many topics, but only the topic of money seemed to remain constantly on the same level.
It was yesterday when I’ve realized which deep rooted belief about being rich I’ve still got active within me. After having great talks with folks and being in my zone, I got a stroke of insight about why on earth I’m not working towards becoming rich.
My belief goes like this:
This world is full of great experiences in which I want to participate one day. Most of them can only be experienced by paying an amount of money which I’m not having right now. But those experiences are limited. Once I become rich, I will try to experience all of them in the shortest amount of time [is this really true?]. I fear that once I’ve experienced all of it in an early age [for example 30 years old], my life would become meaningless, boring and frustrating. There will be nothing exciting on earth to do anymore, I will have seen any beautiful sights and have done any extreme sports. Life would become pointless at that point.
That was my previous belief.
Stupid, isn’t it? Well, I guess it’s just a fear based perception of a rich man’s life. I don’t care when I’ve created this belief, I just care about changing it. But that isn’t a problem at all, now where I know my fears and what it is I want to avoid. I’ve written a new version of my belief that allows me to be happy in anticipation of being rich. I’m no longer sabotaging my wealth anymore, because being rich won’t lead to a meaningless and boring life, but instead to a life full of new and exciting possibilities.
My current belief:
Life is fun. It’s all about the fun of the ride, it’s all about the journey. That’s why there won’t be any end in sight, ever. I’ll always have new ideas, new desires and therefor new goals to walk towards. Once I become rich, even when I’m still in my twenties, I’ll be granted a lot of new possibilities to experience life. I’ll be bothered by different things then, so my thoughts won’t rotate around fears of poverty and survival anymore. These will be finished life quests I’ve conquered in the past. Now I’m on to new sights, new goals and therefor new quests. They may focus about uplifting the people around me and creating new ways to contribute to the whole of the planet. They won’t be focused only on myself anymore. I can imagine that there are endless quests in front of me, waiting to be conquered and solved. I have images of new ecologically beneficial technologies and cities. I have images of journeys into the depth of new galaxies, of under water built cities, of worldwide saturation and expanding growth of all humans on earth. There are endless ideas, possibilities and challenges to solve and have fun with. The game of life won’t ever end in boring ways. I have fun on the way, I love the idea of never ending quests and I love the fact that I know how to feel good in any given moment! Life is fun..
Feels damn good, doesn’t it? :’D
