You Are Worthy
Of all the obstacles to creating wealth, one of the biggest is the feeling of unworthiness.
It’s something we’ve all had to subconsciously deal with just being children. What happens when toddlers do something we don’t want them to do? We say, “No!” A kid is much more likely to hear the word “No” versus the word “Yes.” It just happens.
As children we often take these No’s personally, don’t we? Hell—many adults still do (the ones that don’t go for what they really want in their lives because they’re too afraid of the rejection!). The interpretation in the mind is ‘I am not good,’ or ‘good enough.’ In our society what happens to “bad” people? Punishment.
As adults our parents aren’t usually around to do the punishing. Our memories are enough to take care of that so we take over unconsciously, yes or yes? One of the many ways that people punish themselves is by making sure they don’t have an abundant, happy and successful life. It comes down to that.
When you’re “bad,” bad things are going to happen to you. Someone is obviously taking advantage of a person with a good, sincere intention—in business, in a relationship—and they know they’re being taken advantage of, but they “feel bad” for the one who they rightfully acknowledge as being the truly weaker one in the situation by taking from others without proper reciprocation.
Yet the one being taken advantage of lets it keep happening until the situation inevitably crashes. Then they say, “Why do these things always happen to me?” They know why, but something prevents them from fully embracing the truth. And that something is often a subconscious feeling of not deserving better. It’s the thing that ensures that they have pain and struggle in their lives.
This feeling of not being good enough leads to another conclusion: “I don’t deserve wealth.”
Everything again boils down to your own frickin’ interpretation. Who’s to say whether you deserve it or not? You decide. It’s your game, right?
Feelings of unworthiness show up in people when they give their time or services away for too little money in the business world, or no money. How many of you have a hard time charging for your services, especially to people that you know? Common problem, common issue!
What you gave you gave for too little, right? So what do you have in return right now? The big nada! And what do they have? They have the service. There is a missing half in the universal energy. This person right now owes a karmic debt. You have placed it on them, even if they think they got something over on you.
It’s not about giving your service to others freely if you choose to. We still want to do that, of course, because other things can come back to you. But the power of giving is that much greater when it’s coming from a soul that knows it deserves all the things life has to offer, the good and the bad; fair exchange, or more than what they ever imagined. That’s how balance occurs.
What are some other ways feelings of unworthiness show up in our lives? The more we’re able to identify the inner obstacles that hold us back, the quicker we’re truly able to develop the Millionaire Mind. We want to hear from you!







I know I am worthy… and attending MMI surely helped me to express my worthiness,
Thank you Harv
Thank you very much for all your great advice, you really changed my life! I used to think I was not worthy to be a business owner, even though it was my dream. So for more than 15 years I did jobs in large corporations.
After listening a thousand times to your audio-book Secrets of the Millionaire mind finally I got the message. Now since 3 years I have my own company and I am happier than ever. I wonder why I ever thought this was not ment for me. I am grateful for your work every day, thanks.
I recently had a discussion with someone about this very issue. Many of us do not feel comfortable charging someone for our services because there is a level of guilt there. I think it is strongest in many of us that come from working class backgrounds. There is this message that “the man” is keeping us from having what we “deserve”. It gets hard when we start to become “the man” and actually should be charging for the value we add through our services.

How can I help?
Unworthiness pops into our lives in so many ways. The sarcastic remark made with no ill intent. A bad mood present in any given environment which changes that environment. Partially heard comments or remarks. Gossip. The question really remains as to how we address that feeling…. quieting the monkey chatter. It's an art and you certainly help us in honing those skills. Thanks
Our sense of worthiness affects our money “thermostat,” which in turn affects our ability to charge what we are worth. This thermostat setting is so hard to change. I have found that getting out of my comfort zone really helps me see life from a different perspective. I have been consciously using this to help me adjust my personal “thermostat.” I don't like it's setting anymore!!
wow… this is such a powerful article. This is probably my biggest challenge. Now it's time to turn things around.. Any ideas to turn it around?

This is so profound and so truthful. Thank you for reminding me that this today.
may be, the person just doesn't want to be happy, for not smiling looks cool to him…… doesn't want to be wealthy, for not rich makes him busy….. doesn't want this and that, for a reason. may be
great stuf..thank you..great question to ask myself ..
when you expected a certain thing to happen and something all together happen. or when you have (love) for someone that you thought should love you in the same way but their (love) is shared different than yours
Thank you for all your great advice. Every I 've your article I feel happy because I think I am still valuable in this life.
Until now i have many uncompleted dreams because my procrastination.
I will practice 90 days plan to free finance freedom.
i would start by asking myself what is the “un-worthiness” bringing to me? to me, it brings acceptance. I have been like this for quite some time. if I change now it could get wors. behind a negative response we might find a positive feeling. From where could I take the positive feeling from… would be the next question.
Fear of failure is another common feeling of unworthiness! I think many people question their ability, message, or capabilities and end up feeling inferior or unworthy! We must trust our inner voice to lead us to our path of prosperity and worth!
Well said! 100% True…
I have an idea for you…. get a small box and wrap it up with Christmas paper and leave a small slit on the top. Put your business card in it. If you don't have one make one up with the work you do or wish to do with your Buisness name and phone # so it looks like a card. Put this card inside the box and put it under the tree. Open it on Christmas day. You may just see what you do as a gift. Now when someone gives you a gift what do you say?
Say Thank You! Then Embrace your gift and know you got it becasue you are worthy of it.
I get this, Harv. I have made several large leaps in the right direction over the years and here I am needing more growth in my personal worthiness thermostat. I'm on it.
Of course, this is not just money. How you do anything is how you do everything. So this little story about a wedding ring might be illuminating for me … with your help.
As I get older, my fingers get bigger. I can no longer wear my wedding ring. The plan is to “build” a new one. We have picked out the jeweller, I have come up with a general sketch, we know some of the details. Most of this has been powered by me but I will not go to speak to a jeweller alone about a wedding ring. (I'm willing to have my husband do so and surprise me!) My husband is very busy with studies and a full time job and has not made the ring a priority. I have an idea that having had a clear conversation about this (twice and after some hints) I am at a crossroads and I do not know which fork to take to demonstrate to myself (and perhaps others) that I am worthy.
One fork has me insisting that this be a priority. I don't like this because I want him to consider this symbol of our love and marriage a priority without my insistence. The insisting can make me feel unworthy.
The other fork has me waiting for him to get to it. I am already struggling with the length of time I've been without a wedding ring but I do believe he will eventually take some initiative. I know he values the symbolism and I know he often feels overwhelmed by his work and study responsibilities.
How does one “do” worthiness in this situation and others like it?
Very well said, Harv. You hit the nail right on the head. I've battled with personal feelings of unworthiness my whole life, and only after reading books by you, Robert Kiyosaki, Dave Ramsey, Napoleon Hill, Rhonda Byrne and others have I been able to break those psychological and emotional shackles. Thanks for all you do.

Very wise instruction, Harv I can relate to it. Thanks for all the training you offer around the world. I have been to some of them, it changed my “unworthy obstacle feeling” to “worthy potential goals”
Thanks again

Money, Money, Wealth Wealth…the first and ever not treated American Disease….there is a lot to do in life than toxic money wealth, sucecess attitude….get life you stupid greedy MF..smoke weed and you will be ok….
We are worthy in His eyes. I love what you wrote about giving. Showing that you care and love and sowing into the lives of others is a great gift of life. I do believe giving starts the receiving process as well 😉
Thank you for your suggestion.. really nice 🙂
Some other ways of unworthiness could show up as conditioning by culture, an example that appears in Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and the Millionaire Mind Intensive seminars.
But it didn't really hit me hard enough until 1 month ago…
As a Chinese, I've strong traditional cultural values that I used to mould my character since young. Filial piety's an important issue.
In my society, there's a Chinese saying: 养儿防老, raising children for old age. Many Chinese parents like to interpret it as raising the children who will take care of them (financially) or their livelihood when they grow old. So if a child doesn't take care of the parents in any way, shape or form, he/she is termed by the siblings, relatives and the society as unfilial.
I was struggling and feeling useless and worthless for one whole month until few days ago when I had a realization…
On one hand, I had been consciously self-criticizing myself for failing to keep my word and act like a warrior to do whatever it takes to protect my money and not give a single cent to a parent who gambles and mismanage money.
And, I was also reprimanding myself for failing to keep my initial manifestation of my money.
But on the other hand, subconsciously, my moral conduct was screaming at me for being unfilial and not taking care of the family and parent if I don't give them money. So I gave in to my subconscious and then felt lousy about myself…
Finally, I realized my feelings of lousiness, uselessness, unworthiness and failure were not because I didn't keep my warrior's way. But were because of I gave in to my subconscious' cultural conditioning of filial piety and self-conditioning of my moral conduct. With that, I was willing to forgive myself and move on.
The centuries of cultural and social conditioning, the decades of family and self-conditioning proved to be very deep rooted subconsciously than my new warrior conditioning…There's still lots of work for me to do to peel away the cultural and traditional conditioning of the Chinese…
