Our Untapped Inner Power

A Look Into the Belief Of "LACK!"

"HMM, WHICH DO I CHOOSE?" Does Lack Own You?

There are many aspects of our lives that we never look back on and think to ourselves, "Was I raised to believe in the idea of lack and does it run my life?"

The definition of lack is the state of being without or not having enough of something. Now take a moment and ponder: is this the reason why you never achieved what you desired early on in life? Now, how many of you remember high school? Or, do not many of us not want to remember?

No matter what it was, we all had a similar idea or belief on our minds of not being “as good” as others or just being content with what we have achieved thus far.

The feeling of lack is a strong but widely misunderstood emotion, as well as a lingering thought occupying our minds. "Lack" will never allow you to manifest all you desire in and out of life. It is very cunning, and you may not even know that you are under the influence of "LACK!" It is a master deceiver, or a Sith Lord, if you prefer. It works as simple as this.

Imagine someone coming to you and asking to borrow $5. You, any other day, wouldn’t have a problem with it, being that it's only $5. You normally have much more, right? However, you hesitate a moment before, because you just realized that it’s the only $5 you have left until your next payday. You can’t possibly give that away! And, voila! There it is: "Lack." From this point on, you are now going to be broke until payday. You let lack conquer you. It won!

How different could this have all played out, you wonder? Well, that person may have come back later and then paid you back $10, because she was short on making a payment, a very important payment, and wanted to repay you by doubling your money. Maybe, you would have found $20 or someone you had forgotten about paid you what they owed you from about a month ago.

The situations in which the universe could have paid you are endless. However, it cannot now, because you are now engulfed in that feeling of lack and the universe will and has responded by saying, "Oh! You want to feel what it's like to not get any more of what you desire? I will obey."

Another way to understand how lack can affect you is by constantly saying,"I wish I had more money!" Now, you are physically feeling the "lack" of money. "We can't afford that right now!" Perhaps, you say, "I wish I could win the lotto; it will solve all my problems!" You feel lack in salvation and this feeling of lack will never allow you to overcome your obstacles.

Remember, an obstacle is not a stop sign for your desires. It is not telling you that you cannot have them. It is only a speed bump for you to be able to reassure yourself that you truly desire whatever it is you are desiring. It’s a way the universe can confirm with you. "Do you truly want me to grant your wish?"

"YES, I DO! I WANT TO BE WEALTHY AND IN PERFECT HEALTH! SO, GRANT ME THIS, UNIVERSE!"

Say it as loud as you possibly can. Do not worry what others may think. In fact, they will likely go home and do exactly what you are doing. You will inspire others to follow your lead.

Change the way you speak to others. Rethink before you speak. Know what you are about to say and remove anything negative in your words. Go about your day feeling as happy as you can possibly be. Remove this daily idea and feeling of not being able to have anything until payday.

Begin with removing these key phrases from the vocabulary book in your brain: I can't right now or I don't have enough, I have to wait until payday; I don't know if I can.

Instead, change them to "Sure, I can give you some. The universe will just end up giving me more of it." This sentence alone can be used for just about anything you desire to manifest. You are the “creator” of your life and can manifest all you desire in life. It will come to you. This, I know!

Remember this: "You are everything in the Universe as the Universe is everything in you!”

Now, ask yourself: am I living in lack or abundance?

Namaste, Peace and Love.
