Are you operating from lack or abundance?

Every time when we are asked this question, all of us respond with so much enthusiasm that "yes, of course, I'm operating from abundance" 😍

Well, I'd like to share something today that will help you respond to this question in a more practical and realistic way.

Actually your behavior and your day to day actions will let you know where exactly you are operating from most of the time.

How do you know which energy you are operating from most of the time?

I'll explain this in terms of real life day to day examples:

Poverty/lack energy - someone gives you a compliment

"wow, your dress looks nice and it suits you perfectly"

Your response: " I bought it on a special, you can also get it"

"Your house is so beautiful"

Your response "arg, there's still so much to do in it"

"wow, thank you so much, you've changed my life"

Your response "oh, it wasn't me, you did the work"

What is happening in all these response is that you are not receiving the love God is sending you through people. Instead of you seeing the compliments for what they are, you feel the urge to justify why you are getting or shouldn't be getting the compliment.

Gratitude/abundance energy 

using the examples above, your responses will be

"Thank you, thank you, thank you"

When you are operating from abundance, you don't feel the need to justify why you are getting what you are getting, but you recognize that the force beyond you saw that you are worthy to receive all this and you acknowledge your own beauty and greatness you are adding to this earth.

You recognize that you are worthy to receive all that you are getting, not because you have really done much, but because you are

Now, depending on which energy you are operating from, you'll also show up the same way in your relationships.

How does your energy affect your relationship?

Poverty/lack

You are forever suspicious of others intentions. When someone does something good for you, you think there's an ulterior motive, e.g.

Your partner buys you a gift out of nowhere, it's not your birthday, anniversary, or special occasion, and instead of receiving the gift with love, you think to yourself "there's something they've done, they must be hiding something"

You ask "how do I look, I seem to have lost some weight"

Their response "you have love, you look amazing"

But you don't accept this and think to yourself "they are just saying this to make me feel good, obviously it's my mother, she's going to say that"

In a nutshell, you don't believe the greatness that you are because you are operating from a field of energy that says "its not there" - lack

Whereas,

Gratitude/abundance

You are too happy to receive the gifts, you take in all the compliments you receive from your clients, your partner, your mother etc. They don't have to justify to you, why they are saying all that to you. 

When you hear any compliment, you become like a small child whenever they receive exactly what they've been looking and asking for. 

You receive everything that comes to you for exactly what it is - gift and acknowledgment of your greatness"

You know very well what you've been giving and understand that for every good thing you give, you'll receive in many forms that is meant to come. You are no way blocking the cycle of life by wanting to always give and not open yourself to receive.

Where to from here?

The question for you today is "do you recognize where you've been operating from?"

Do you now see and understand why you are where you are? Do you now see why you've been experiencing all that you are experiencing?

Because the truth and reality is that " what you focus on expands"

Now that you know all this, what are you going to do?

My advise is, dial a coach and get yourself out of that energy by healing the wounded aspects of yourself that are keeping you in that energy field.

Are you seeking answers for the repetitive patterns in your life? read on......

As we journey in this life, we get to a point where we find ourselves seeking answers of what is happening or even why we are going through all that we go through at any given moment.

This is very normal and it is a quest that any human being finds themselves in at some point in their lives.

The challenge is when one seeks answers about why certain people are behaving or doing certain things to them and then spend their time and energy trying to figure out that person's behavior and doing everything in their power to fix them.

Well as you've seen until this far, that hasn't worked, because the person that is seeking the answers is you. And your are seeking must be all about you.

It is only when you get to this point where you need clarity for yourself that you'll get the answers you need. I'm sure you've heard that "you're what you think" or "your thoughts create your reality" and you've been wondering and even questioning or doubting the truthness to these kind of statements, because the big part of you says "if I am creating my reality then why would I call such bad experiences and horrible people and incidences into my life?"

The answer to that is "you are asking the wrong questions"

What? Is there such a thing ?

Yes, there is. 

You see part of your brain's functionality is to find answers for you. So while you are doing this life, that's exactly what you'll get, answers to the questions you are asking.

Now, it must be made clear that the questions you don't only ask by speaking them out loud, you're asking through your thoughts, your actions even with what you are saying - your words.

Now when you start the question with the "why" the brain will go look for evidence for you. And all this evidence will be based on what you've programmed through repetitive thinking and doing throughout your life and even through what others around you have said and done. 

It is therefore never a good idea to ask your brain "why" especially if you are feeling bad or are in a bad space because it will then go find you all the answers that will reiterate, confirm and in turn reaffirm all the bad experiences and things you've been through. It will find you the evidence of all the things you don't want. 

Which is why for many of us, affirmations don't really work, not because they are not powerful statements, but because at the core of your being, you don't believe the things you are affirming to yourself. Instead of this empowering you, you find yourself feeling even worse than you did before you embarked on that quest.

So, what should you do instead?

You should ask still, the only difference is that this time around your question must start with "what". 

Instead of you asking "why is all this happening to me?' you should rather ask  "what is this teaching me?" or "what lesson(s) am I meant to get here?"

This way, you're still allowing your brain to do its work that it was created for,  its just that this time you are asking for the solutions instead of the problem.

In a nutshell, this is what you're seeking:  clarity on the repetitive occurrences, and you are called to answer these questions;

• What are you refusing to see ? - which is why the patterns are repeating
• What do you need to release off your system so that you can start having the life you want?
• What do you need to do in order to move on to the next phase of your life?

Once you get clarity on these, it is then that you'll start seeing and receiving the answers that you are seeking, which are and have always been within you.

One thing I can promise you is that once you get to doing your life this way, then the seeking becomes meaningful and exciting instead of hurtful and miserable. 

This way, you become the light that you were always meant to be 🙏😍
