Awakening

I know why I am not rich. I know why I always sabotage myself. I know why my bank account is always empty.

When I was working on my self-motivation this morning I realized the ugly truth, simple but ugly. I now know why I am in the spot I am in.

One of my favorite movies is the Sound of Music, and there is a line from that movie that goes something like this: “Whenever the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.”

I have prayed for a window to open because all my doors are closing or have closed. Then it hit me, the window is already open all I have to do is open my eyes to see it. But for some reason I refuse to open my eyes, I prefer to walk around, in a daze feeling for the open window instead of looking at it. This confused me because there was and is absolutely no reason I can’t open my eyes to see the window, a window which will lead me out of my current difficulty and onto the path of prosperity. For the life of me I refuse to open my eyes. It’s like my mind is telling me to keep them shut, don’t even peek.

Then something else hit me, the reason why I refuse to open my eyes. Ever since my youth I have been brainwashed into believing that money is bad and evil. And to emphasize, I was always told money is the cause of evil in the world. Even today the same message is being repeated over and over, just look at how the Occupy movement is screaming about the evils of money.

Yet in reality money is neutral and can be used for good or evil. Unfortunately I was always taught by my teachers, parents and church just how evil money is. After all “Money is the root of all evil.”

Not quite true: “For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil,” is the actual phrase. Still for a young child with a brain full of mush authority figures spoke volumes about the evils of money. Therefore I “programmed” myself into believing that if I were to ever have ANY savings or a significant sum of money in the bank I would be a very, very bad person. And I cannot be a bad person. I wrote about these feelings in one of my blogs so I refer you there for more of my emotions on the subject.

The bottom line is I have a very basic “root command” that tells me money is evil and I should never have any. Until I break this erroneous command I can never leave the rut I am in. In order to advance I must change this root command to a more positive and powerful message, such as “Money is NOT evil, money is my friend.” Only when I accept, without reservation the fact that money is indeed my friend and not evil can I move onward and upward.

I believe many of us find ourselves in the same situation, making a living but not living a life. True I make adequate money but I could be making so much more if, a very big if I only have a true belief in myself. Unfortunately for me I was never taught to believe in myself only to obey. Thus the negative emotions thrust upon me as a child has left devastating impressions upon me well into adulthood.

I can’t change my past but I can change my future. As I develop this website, read, study, and make plans I find myself improving drastically for the better. I still have a long way to go and I have absolutely no clue when I will arrive at the destination I set for myself. But arrive I will. Of that I have no doubt.

Political correctness established a foothold in the 1950’s and I am part of that disastrous experience. The negative effects I have experienced all my life have led me to this point in time and space. I am working to make my life better but I am also working to sound the warning. The Occupy movement, politicians, and liberal elites cannot be allowed to succeed with their vision of utopia; they must be countered with emotional logic and feelings of self-worth and self-reliance. This is the main purpose of this website, and my blog, to encourage others to be better than they think they can be. For it is only when each of us really believe in and employ faith in ourselves and our abilities can real and honest change occur.

This is the lesson, after all these years, I am just learning.
