There’s a saying: “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” Yes, it refers to sociology and capitalism and all that stuff. But it also refers to you.
When you act poor, you stay poor. When you act rich, you stay rich.
Acting poor means you avoid treating yourself because, what if you run out of money?
It means you never travel to other countries because, what if you one day need those funds for hospitalization?
It means you can't be bothered to give to the less fortunate, because you think you are the less fortunate.
That is the place of lack. And when you’re there, you will never have enough.
By “acting rich”, I don’t mean pretending to have more than you do so that other people would think highly of you. That’s a place of lack too.
By “acting rich”, I mean treating yourself every now and then, because you trust that money will come find you when you need it.
It means traveling the world if you want to, because you trust that the Universe will provide for your other needs.
It means sharing what you have, because you know that you are blessed and that your blessings are protected.
That is the mindset of abundance. And with it, you will always attract more than enough.
So ask yourself... where are you, usually? The place of lack, or the place of luck?
Every spiritual belief — from established ones like Christianity, to modern ones like the Law of Attraction — encourages you to be positive. “Look at the bright side of things!” “Be grateful for what you have!” “Like attracts like, so never be negative!”
But you’re human. You can’t always be happy.
Of course you’re allowed to feel and say negative things, both to yourself and to people you trust.
The trick is to make sure you acknowledge that your negative situation is temporary.
When I’m going through a hard time, and someone asks me if I’m fine, I say, “I will be.”
I don’t lie and say I’m okay. That’s how wounds stay wounds — when you don’t admit they’re there.
But I also don’t declare defeat. Because for as long as I’ve been alive, I’ve won every single challenge life sent me. Haven’t you? Trust your track record.
To become a powerful witch, an effective manifester, or simply, a happy person… that’s the key.
Don’t say, “I’m so tired!” Say, “I’m so tired, so I will rest to feel better.”
Don’t say, “I’m fucking broke!” Say, “I need money, and I know it’s on its way to me.”
Don’t say, “My life sucks!”. Say, “Life hasn’t been easy, but things are about to change.”
Don’t pretend your pain isn’t there. Acknowledge it. Then acknowledge that it will pass, and it will.
