Fighting Unworthiness and the Feeling of ‘Not Good Enough’

Of all the obstacles to creating wealth, one of the biggest is the feeling of unworthiness. Many of my students have come to me, fearing that they are not good enough for my mentorship or for success in business. What they don’t realize is that this fear of unworthiness is what’s holding them back from achieving greatness. Today, I’m going to teach you how to embrace your true worth, so you can find wealth and happiness.

How to Break the Belief of “Not Good Enough”

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” compared to the word “Yes.” It just happens.

As children we often take these no’s personally, don’t we? Hell — many adults still do. This is especially true for adults that don’t go for what they really want in their lives, because they’re too afraid of rejection. The interpretation in the mind is ‘I am not good.’ Further, in our society what happens to “bad” people? Punishment.

How Unworthiness Becomes a Cycle

As adults, our parents aren’t usually around to do the punishing. Our memories are enough to take care of that. Unconsciously we begin to punish ourselves and deny our own worth. One of the many ways that people punish themselves is by making sure they don’t have an abundant, happy and successful life. This happens because they have internalized the belief of not good enough.

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. Further, they know they’re being taken advantage of, but their self-worth is so low that they somehow feel responsible. Therefore, 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?”

Truthfully, they know why, but something prevents them from fully embracing the truth. 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.

How Feeling Not Good Enough Impacts Your Finances

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. Sometimes feeling unworthy means you’re even giving away your labor for free. How many of you have a hard time charging for your services, especially with 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. However, 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.

Keep this in mind and start fighting back against the internal no’s. You’ll be surprised by how quickly worthiness can bring reward back into your life.

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, so leave your thoughts in the comments below!
