I want to change this belief

[diegosch]

I was taught that money is hard to come by.
I was taught that money comes as a result of incredible ACTION effort + "LUCK"
I was taught that money=happiness

I want to change my relationship with money.

I have realized that every decision I've made in my life regarding what to do with my time was based in the amount of money that I thought I could make by spending my time and effort in that way.

My personal preferences were not high in my priority list, making money was priority #1 becasue that was my path to happiness.

So, because of that, I always ended up in places that I didn't enjoy, doing things that I didn't enjoy and doing things that felt difficult. And on top of all that I thought THAT WAS NORMAL!

No wonder my last 5 businesses didn't work out... I wasn't having any fun!..everything felt like torture... You would never think I voluntarily choose them, right?

I can now see that I was going about it in a very screwed up way. I NEED TO DO THINGS I ENJOY REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH OR HOW LITTLE MONEY I THINK I CAN MAKE OUT OF THEM BECAUSE IF I AM HAVING FUN, I DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE. ALL I WANTED THE MONEY FOR WAS TO HAVE FUN WITH IT ANYWAYS.

So now I have decided to be UNREASONABLE in putting my preferences first.
I will only do things I enjoy. No exemptions.

I don't think that I have to do anything to receive health. I think I am supposed to be healthy by default. There is nothing I need to do in order to believe that health is around the corner. Health is always available to me just because.

I want to have a similar belief about money.

It is my intention to come to measure my success by the amount of fun I have on a daily basis instead of the amount of money I have in my bank account.

If I can pull that off, money will not be an issue ever again.

Can you feel it?

Wow Diego, you said some really good things to work with. It's good that you can recognize how you want to feel about money (the same way as you do about health)
A good way to change a belief is (I think Sierra taught me this :biggrin: ) to find proof of the new belief you want to believe in. so a little proof for you: For the last year and a half I've done NOTHING, no work, nothing to get any money, and I've been more wealthy that I've ever been. Money kept coming to me thought other people who wanted to give it to me, who wanted to give me presents and my boyfriend who loved to take care of my finances. And all I did was just feeling good overall, just feeling happy that I could do with my days what I wanted. So indeed, it works!
So go and feel good about what you do! Think about what you would like to do most Because you deserve to do what you love, it's all about feeling good anyway!!
love :heart:

Thanks Tai for your words.

How did your situation come about?

did you just one day decided to allow money into your experience regardless of whether you were working or not?

It is very interesting what you are telling me... And you are right, it makes me feel better to know that others are already creating the same thing I want to create.

I you can create I can create it too, right!?!

Overall I think I am getting better with all this...

I know it will take a little time to get a handle on the vibration that I offer through the day but I know I will figure this out and it will be beautiful.

:heart: love :heart:

Hi Diego! :wave:

I just love the way you explained your situation. It's such a beautifully illustrated path. You had a few businesses before, you thought money could only be earned the hard way, you didn't enjoy your work, and NOW you have such clarity! With this clear intention

It is my intention to come to measure my success by the amount of fun I have on a daily basis ...

new ideas will flow to you, and as you put all the pieces together, you will know exactly what to do. Just allow yourself to think in the direction of your intention, talk in the direction of your intention and observe other people and circumstances around you that you are beginning to attract as the proof of what's coming to you.

I can tell you my story: I used to be a teacher of English for 4 years, the salary wasn't much, I had a good time but something wasn't clicking... so I decided I wanted to do something else, but I didn't know WHAT. I trusted that I will know it very soon. Then one day I was surfing the internet and I came across a wonderful website of an author whose book was so amazing I felt it needed to be published in my language for all the people who didn't understand English. I loved it so much I was inspired to do it. I contacted the author myself, he sent me the book in Word format, and I translated it. Then I found a publishing house and now it's one of the bestsellers.

Later on I attracted the Hicks's books and have been translating them ever since. (Now THAT was something that fired me up the day I discovered them!) They are bestsellers too. The funny thing is I am not officially self-employed, but I AM self-employed coz I've created it myself, and what I do is called contract work. Having been translating for a while, I now know which is the next thing I want and it's unfolding beautifully. My life has also been way more abundant in every way since I've started this and now I'm looking forward to my very own businness.

What I love most about clarity is that once you are clear about what you want, it's only a matter of time when something is going to inspire you. It's already here, waiting for you to align with it. :heart:

Hi Diego!
It looks like you're getting better at creating a better relationship with money, since you're attracting people here (Natasha and me, and probably more) who tell you how you CAN trust on feeling good :biggrin:

I actually told my story on how I created money on another thread a week or so ago, so I'll just copy and paste :biggrin:

It was a few years ago, when I was still studying. During the day I was in school, and every night I went out, to clubs, parties, whatever, most of the times till 6 or 7 in the morning, so I hardly got any sleep. But at that moment, it felt the only thing worth something, just having fun. The study was pretty boring, but it gave me the money that I needed. (I don't know how that works in other country's, but here we get support money (a monthly amount) from the government when you can't afford all the money for school, plus you can get a very very relaxed monthly loan with almost no interest. So I did that of course :biggrin: and I was able to pay for my lifestyle)
So after a few months, my study began to feel pretty upstream. At that time I was a vibrational match to partying all the time, and not to this study at all! BUT of course I was afraid to quit school, because that would mean no more money, or I would have to get a job, which would also mean no more partying. I tried to find some lousy jobs while I was still in school, just in case something better came along. Of course it didn't, because REALLY I wanted to only have fun and not go to school or work whatsoever. At that same time William (my boyfriend) introduced me to Abe, and I decided at one point to just take the leap, to not worry, only focus on what I WANTED, and just don't think about what I did not want. So instead of trying to raise my vibration on my fear of not having any money when I quit school, I just didn't think about that and payed attention to what I wanted (fun fun fun mostly :biggrin: and of course enough money to pay for my house and electricity etc.)
So, I quit school, without knowing what would come. And within 2 weeks, it turned out that the government always pays out a whole year. Plus I could still get the loan for the rest of the year (all it means is that in a few years I will have to pay back some more). That meant that I still had the exact amount of money that I had while I was in school, but now I didn't have to go to school anymore! And I didn't have to find a job. EXACTLY what I wanted. No obligations and enough money! So only fun for me! And after that year was over, me and William lived together and he told me that he was fine with me not working or anything, that he would pay for me and my expenses. So MORE freedom for me!
It was really good for me to have that time for myself, and I only started looking for a new job when I WANTED a new job.
I really believe that this happened because I started ONLY paying attention to what I wanted, and not on what I didn't want. If I did focus on what I didn't want, I probably wouldn't have found out that it was an option to keep your loan etc. and I would've acted out of fear. Even though I believe a lot of the times it's good to raise your vibrations on some subject, sometimes a good thing to do is just focus your attention to what you want.

Good luck Diego!
