Self-Imposed Poverty

The title above references self-imposed poverty, but it could also read self-imposed sickness, failure, or misery. Because preventing yourself from becoming wealthy, healthy, successful, or happy all arise from the same root cause.

Why You Love to Hate Rich People

On a singular level, we love to hate characters like Logan Roy and JR Ewing because then we can tell ourselves, “Obviously rich people are evil. I sure am glad I’m one of the noble, spiritual, good-hearted poor people.” Or as Peter Parker’s uncle tells him in the original Spiderman movie that started the franchise, “We may not be rich. But at least we’re honest.”

Money-Grubbing, Rich A$$holes

All you need to know to determine if a book, TV show, or movie is going to be a breakout hit, is to determine if it panders to a majority of people’s limiting beliefs.

Breaking News, Painted Donkeys, and Buddhist Monks with Attitude

From a prosperity standpoint, here’s the most important thing to remember: there are lots more countries not at war than at war, lots more people doing good things than bad things, and most zoos have a real zebra. But you’ll only be aware of all the great, positive and beneficial things happening around you if you seek them out and create channels where you’re exposed to them.

Ask Better Questions

If we break it down to its essence, critical thinking is having the discernment to intelligently process information. Process it in a way that is relevant to your desired results. And that means asking the right questions.

Throwing Off the Shackles of Slavery

I believe that self-imposed slavery is worse than slavery that is imposed on you by someone else. Because if you actually are a slave, you probably had no choice in the matter. But to exile yourself into servitude and limitation, what a horrific tragedy that is.

The Value You Assign Yourself

Every time you interact with another human – whether it’s your boss, client, spouse, family member, neighbor, store clerk, or the kid who mows your lawn – you are sending a message on what you’re worth. And they decide what you are worth, based on how much it appears you think you are worth.

Circulate Your Prosperity

Think of prosperity in terms of a brisk, flowing river. It’s always moving, releasing pressure, and seeking its proper level. On the other hand, when water pools in a stationary place, it becomes cloudy and stagnant. The laws that govern prosperity operate the same way. When you circulate substance, you break the energy block and keep the river of prosperity flowing freely.
