“ A poverty consciousness is a state of fear and worry, a state that ignores, belittles or silences its own natural, abundant gifts and abilities and that mistrusts itself, other people and the abundance of the universe. We can develop a poverty consciousness as easily as we can develop a prosperity consciousness – the choice is ours. Many of us are very practiced at creating ‘lack’ or less than we want. We spend hours in fear and worry, not realizing that investing energy in fear will literally generate and attract the very experiences and circumstances we say we don’t want.
A poverty consciousness feels it is lacking at all times. It never has what it needs or wants, and generates more lack the more it talks about it. It worries, frets, delays, procrastinates, doubts and complains. The very thing it does not want – it gets. That’s because it is talking ‘lack’, acting from fear and ‘lack’, withdrawing full participation, holding back love and appreciation, doing things in a half-hearted way, berating and talking down to itself and others, and so on. When we act from a poverty consciousness we don’t believe in ourselves, we don’t believe in our gifts, we deny and delay taking action on our dreams and our goals, we don’t ask to be paid what we are worth, we take limited action, not believing in a rich universe or that we are capable of being great at what we do.”
