It has been an amazing week. Massachusetts has experienced a heat wave, including the hottest day since 2002. Even Salem has been hot. The normal luxury of the coastal location with its sea breeze has been absent. Still the beautiful old downtown is still here to be enjoyed and my husband and I have been thoroughly enjoying our week here. We hardly every go more than a few hundred yards from the coast line and still enjoy coffee shops, restaurants and more. Old Salem is becoming a hot city with so many fantastic restaurants and live music. There are even more opening up.
4th of July Salem, MA, 2010
As always the 4th of July celebration was great and the warm weather made it even more enjoyable (maybe a little bit hot during the middle of the day). We enjoyed all of the festivities that are again only a few hundred yards away from our house.
Life is good and full of abundance.
Love and peace,

Do you have a mental block that limits how much you can earn or set aside? For example, there was a time when $25,000 in the savings account was my maximum. Every time it looked like I would reach that amount something came up that pulled it below the $25,000 limit. It was uncanny. In an effort to bypass this strange blockage I divided the amount and put a part of it in another account. This would make the main account definitely under $25,000. Of course over time I made it back to $25,000, but since I had another account with more money it was actually over $30,000 for a long time.
The key is to recognize the pattern we have. Often this is more related to your income and the dividing trick might not work for you. Still you have to recognize the pattern that makes it happen and acknowledge that this is something in your past, not the present or future. Your future is going to be different and you have to decide how different your future is going to be.
Remember that at one time in the past you had not yet crossed a street by yourself. Then you did, and now that is in your past. The street no longer limits you and you don’t even think about it. The same goes for other limitations in your life. You can earn more money and you have to allow yourself to do so. That way you can start living a Life of Abundance.

Is it a story where you will manage money beautifully and you are earning what you want and deserve? Is it putting you on a path for a Life of Abundance?

For many of us underearning has been a habit. We automatically do and say things that make us underearn. How often have you refused to be paid for small favors? Or not asked for a raise when the opportunity came?
It is like our brain goes on autopilot and before we know we are doing and saying the same things as we have been for so long. The explanation is simple. We have created a pathway in our brain. It is just like when we start driving. In the beginning we have to focus on everything we do and on our surroundings to know how to react. After some time we master the skill and start to do the driving as a natural thing, like we are on autopilot. The same thing happens with our automatic underearning behavior.
When we leave underearning behind we are charting into a new territory. Our brain only has the old brain pathway, so now we are creating new pathways and it will take some time to do that. In the beginning it can be very scary to head into this new territory. But the payoff is much more than worth it.
What is your payoff going to be for leaving underearning behind and start earning what you need and deserve? A Life of Abundance?
