Or Do You Have Enough?
by Graham Sampson
Do you find yourself doing things that you don’t really enjoy so that you will have the money to do what you really want to do?
Do you see others suffering from a lack of money?
Do you need a windfall to change your circumstances?
What effect would a major sum of money have on your life?
A few years ago I was desperately short of money and under great pressure as a result. I believed that somehow it was my fault. I was to blame. I believed that somehow, and I had no idea how, I was responsible for what I was experiencing.
I was far from pleased with myself. In fact, I was very unhappy with myself and the circumstances in which I found myself engulfed. I knew that I could not blame anyone or anything other than myself. So I blamed myself mercilessly to no avail. I found lots wrong with me—a seemingly endless supply. The more I looked for what was wrong, the more I found, because that was what I was looking for.
My attention was on the wrong things and was glued to them in the belief that I had to find both the cause of my problems and my own solutions. I thought, “When I have the money I will be free to do what I want.” I did not notice that whether I had money or not I did not really feel free to do what I wanted.
One viewpoint about money is that it makes people more of what they are. The greedy become more greedy. The anxious become more anxious. The generous become more generous. The insecure become more insecure. The spendthrift becomes even more of a spendthrift. The loser becomes a bigger loser.
Our attention, focused by our beliefs, is the creating force. Put simply, what your attention is on is what you are creating (and what you will continue to create) until you change the focus of your attention.
Most people agree that we attract what we fear. Wayne Dyer expresses it beautifully, You will never get enough of what you don’t want, meaning that you will keep attracting more of it. Harry Palmer says, What you resist will persist.
Money may temporarily alleviate some suffering, but will it eliminate the causes? Many people receive windfalls only to slip into worse financial circumstances. Their state of consciousness did not expand at the same rate as did their available cash.
Those who are short of money are not powerless. They are powerful creators flowing attention to lack and limitations simply because they have not learned the skills to create what they prefer.
So, where is your attention directed? Do you really know? Would you like to know? If your flow of attention is creating trouble, and you could redirect that attention, wouldn’t that be a benefit?
The more easily people can control their attention, the more easily they create what they prefer.
Would you like to bypass the have-to do’s, and get on with the enjoy-to do’s? The Avatar approach works.
Thousands of Avatar graduates will testify, “Avatar is the purest, most powerful personal growth course available at any price.”Graham Sampson, Australia
