What do you see when you look at your life? What have you created in the outside world? By looking at the outside, you will know exactly what is going on, on the inside. If you believe the world is rude, harsh, and uncompromising, guess what? That is how it is going to show up for you.
If you have an old belief that no one shows up for you because your parents weren’t there for you, then it won’t be a coincidence that your primary partner and friends aren’t treating you like a priority.
What our world mirrors is due to our old belief system.
If your parents struggled financially or if you heard your father say you have to work hard for money, there will be a good possibility that you will be an adult with the belief system that money is hard to come by, and you have to work yourself to death to have a good life. The key is to have an understanding of your old belief system and then take the actions to change it. Just knowing the belief system isn’t good enough. If you don’t take the action to change it, it will never shift.
Let’s look at the belief that you have to work hard for money. If you want to shift that belief, you have to stop working 60-70 hours a week and incorporate some fun into your day and trust in the universe that everything is going to be okay. That doesn’t mean that you quit your job and start watching TV and hope for the best. It means you are reasonable and realize that working harder is only buying into your old belief system.
Work and enjoy it and then play and enjoy it. I see so many people working so hard they are too exhausted to have any fun. On your deathbed are you going to tell your family you wished you would have worked harder? I don’t think so. You would probably be really bummed that you didn’t spend more time having fun with family and friends.
If you think you won’t make enough money to support your family if you work less, your old belief is really strong! Look at this part of your life and reflect on how the old belief system is in play and then take it a step further and create a new belief system. Your new belief system might look like: I can work less and earn more or I can work 40 hours a week, have fun with my family and still be fine financially. Then the action that supports the new belief system has to be taken, which is simply working less, enjoying life more, and trusting in the universe!
