Letting Go Of Poverty Consciousness

I’ve mentioned a couple times that I’m actively working on getting myself out of poverty consciousness, also known as scarcity mindset, but one might ask what does that even look like? How do you graduate from feeling like you don’t have enough to knowing you always will? Poverty consciousness is a belief system, a mindset of feeling like there’s not enough that can often lead to feelings of lack or inadequacy. Many have been conditioned to believe there isn’t enough to go around leaving us feeling like we always have to scramble to make ends meet.

Poverty consciousness and scarcity mindset are perspectives shaped by perceptions that resources are limited and that we’re not worthy of abundance. It’s unhealthy because it can keep you in stressful states of chaos and fear. As direct descendants of Prime Creator, of Source, of God, nothing could be further from the truth. We’ve been programmed to think that there’s not enough and it’s a belief system I’m actively working on letting go of, and as the saying goes, because it no longer serves me.

I’ve pretty much worked paycheck to paycheck my whole life (and thus far) and that could have a lot to do with a lot. For me personally, it was set in place so I could know all too well what it looks and feels like to think I have to live in the state of lack whilst feeling as if I’m not worthy enough of abundance. It’s just part of my intricate plan to be able to report back on how it doesn’t work in the false matrix, and to also prove to myself and others that it’s possible to get yourself out of it.

You start by believing in yourself which means working on your self-esteem which you do by building your confidence which of course will look different for everybody. Once you’ve established that, which could take anywhere from a few years to many more depending on where you’re at (and a lot of it is even subconscious), you can then move forward with the belief system that you are enough and you’re certainly worthy of everything life has to offer. It’s taken me a few years but I’m finally ready to show the universe I no longer perceive myself unworthy and I’m now ready to show that I believe I’m capable of unlimited abundance.

One way I prove myself is by taking risks. For example, I’m about to spend all my savings to hire a lawyer to help me trademark my blog. Spirit has made it quite clear that it’s time to move forward, that my commitment and progress are ready to be seen. Then I have my intuition telling me it’s important that I take the proper steps to protect it. I’m taking a huge risk by pretty much emptying my bank account (with a big trip right around the corner) but at the same time I’m showing my team of invisibles I trust that I will always be provided for.

The Creator knows no such thing as lack, only limitless abundance and unconditional love. But when we are living on a planet with free will that’s been hijacked by dark forces that’ve imposed us to live in chaos and confusion (who literally feed off this fear and negative energy) it’s easy to get derailed into believing false belief systems and illusionary premises. This is exactly why humanity needs to wake up collectively and this is exactly why many of us have incarnated at this precise time, to make the necessary changes to get us out of this hole we’ve been forced to dig ourselves into.

It’s funny, as I contemplated the whole lawyer thing, and believe me I tried to do it myself but sometimes we need a little extra help and that’s okay because that too is provided, we just need to do our homework to ensure we’re getting the right help. As I was going back and forth on getting a lawyer a story kept popping into my head, I must’ve thought about this story half a dozen times before I finally convinced myself the lawyer was the way to go.

I read a story about Kyle Edwards (the nerd) from the movie Road Trip, one of my all time favorite movies by the way. If you need a good laugh just watch Road Trip or Bridesmaids, I can relate to both of them on so many levels. Anyway, as the story goes Kyle was talking about how he landed the chance for the role in the movie and how he was broke so he had to hock the pink slip for his car just to get a flight for the audition. It was a big risk but he took it and it ultimately paid off.

Trust is imperative and everything has been leading up to me trusting in the unknown. Taking this next step will ultimately get the momentum going that will propel me forward and be what’s necessary for me to start my new beginning. For the first time I feel like things are about to really start shifting. I know from now on my life will start changing and I have confidence for the first time that my life really is about to unfold like a movie. Everything I’ve been through and everything I’ve learnt is all for so much more than I ever fathomed.

Both these words of wisdom have been on my fridge since day one and I will go so far as to say they were some of my first knowings without even realizing at the time what exactly knowings were. Something compelled me to write them down and put them where they could be seen on a daily basis for encouragement and as a reminder to keep going. I understand now that urge to write them down came from an invisible force that I’ve now learned to trust and am still learning to depend on.

If ever there really was a grand finale for me, it would have to be these next few months. I have to be careful though, every time I think I have it figured out…I don’t. I stopped talking about grand finales because it always felt like I was in one but looking back now I realize I’ve truly been undergoing constant transformation. Just when I have one obstacle overcome or another bad habit tackled, boom, there’s something else. I understand now that I am part of something far greater than I could’ve ever imagined and everything in the past five years (not to mention my whole life) has been preparing me for the next phase of my journey.

Here’s a cool story. I had to go back to the fair to exchange a dress I bought and opted to take the bus because honestly I didn’t feel like paying for parking. I also saw it as a chance to get some exercise so I walked the mile to the bus stop but what’s crazy is on my way home I stumbled across my business card in the neighborhood. I remember getting closer and closer and being like, hey that looks like my stores logo and then literally walked right up on my personal business card with my name on it on the sidewalk.

I have no idea how it got there and I certainly didn’t drop it because I don’t carry my business cards around town. There is no logical explanation for me finding it there. Needless to say my mind was blown and I’m pretty sure my exact words were what the actual bleep.

This card was in my possession because it had a phone number written on it, in my handwriting. How it got from my work backpack to the sidewalk is a mystery. The only explanations I could come up with was maybe it’s a case in point from my recent article about letting go of logic. That or it’s my team telling me it’s time to start thinking about ordering different business cards and it’s also time to start thinking about building my brand.
