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&#8217;t realize is that this fear of unworthiness is what&#8217;s holding them back from achieving greatness. Today, I&#8217;m going to teach you how to embrace your true worth, so you can find wealth and happiness.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Break the Belief of &#8220;Not Good Enough&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s something we\u2019ve all had to subconsciously deal with just being children. What happens when toddlers do something we don\u2019t want them to do? We say, \u201cNo!\u201d A kid is much more likely to hear the word \u201cNo\u201d compared to the word \u201cYes.\u201d It just happens.<\/p>\n<p>As children we often take these no\u2019s personally, don\u2019t we? Hell \u2014 many adults still do. This is especially true for adults that don\u2019t go for what they really want in their lives, because they\u2019re too afraid of rejection. The interpretation in the mind is \u2018I am not good.\u2019 Further, in our society what happens to \u201cbad\u201d people? Punishment.<\/p>\n<h3>How Unworthiness Becomes a Cycle<\/h3>\n<p>As adults, our parents aren\u2019t 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\u2019t have an abundant, happy and successful life. This happens because they have internalized the belief of not good enough.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re \u201cbad,\u201d bad things are going to happen to you. Someone is obviously taking advantage of a person with a good, sincere intention \u2014 in business, in a relationship. Further, they know they\u2019re 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, \u201cWhy do these things always happen to me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s the thing that ensures that they have pain and struggle in their lives.<\/p>\n<h3>How Feeling Not Good Enough Impacts Your Finances<\/h3>\n<p>This feeling of not being good enough leads to another conclusion: \u201cI don\u2019t deserve wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5300 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2017\/10\/I-am-good-enough--1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/I-am-good-enough--1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/I-am-good-enough--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/I-am-good-enough--768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/I-am-good-enough-.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everything again boils down to your own frickin\u2019 interpretation. Who\u2019s to say whether you deserve it or not? You decide. It\u2019s your game, right?<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s how balance occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Keep this in mind and start fighting back against the internal no&#8217;s. You&#8217;ll be surprised by how quickly worthiness can bring reward back into your life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some other ways feelings of unworthiness show up in our lives? The more we\u2019re able to identify the inner obstacles that hold us back, the quicker we\u2019re truly able to develop the Millionaire Mind.
