Everything Changed When I Realized My Success Doesn’t Hurt Anyone

There is abundance in life, or is life itself abundance?

Either way, abundance is the true form of life, all lack is created by us. I have had issues with money my whole life. Some come from others and some are in my head.

I realized the reason I feel bad about making money is there are so many people in the world in need, for me to take more for myself is greedy. I now know this isn’t true, and here is how I figured it out.

If others have such a hard life why do I deserve a good life?

The sentiment behind this thought might be nice but the thought itself doesn’t make any sense. If abundance is the true state of all life then my success in no way takes from other people because there is enough abundance to go around.

My care for other people and my desire to help them is good, however the amount of good I’ll actually be able to do is minimal. Nice words and good intentions only go so far. By first working to improve myself and make myself wealthy I can do more and will have more resources to help other people.

Me becoming rich and successful doesn’t hurt anyone, and offers me opportunities to help more people. I can’t help poor people if I am one of them. I need to take advantage of the advantages I have.

By using my life and the platform I build, I can talk about the things I care about and share my ideas and money with the world. My living a small scared life helps no one, I am being selfish and greedy by not giving more of myself to the world.

I am choosing ease and comfort over what I should be doing which is using my talents to have a positive impact on the world. Having money and power are not inherently bad, they just are.

The way we use our money and influence determines if we are bad or good.

I know I am a good person and my intentions are good so becoming successful and making lots of money isn’t bad, as long as I don’t become a jerk. Nothing that is real in life is good or bad. Wealth and prosperity are not bad if they are used and not hoarded. I allow myself to be rich and successful.

The fears I have of not being worthy of a good life or that becoming rich makes me a bad person are gone. Instead I realize that the source that created me and everything else is abundant.

Everything that is needed is already here, I have always had what I need I just need to remember and work towards my goals. I know I am here for a reason and I am grateful for everything that comes into my life.

Any lack or limitation we experience in our lives is brought about by human action or human error. Our selfishness and greed make us fight with others and hoard things for ourselves.

When we realize we all come from the same infinite place and have access to the same infinite source, we see there is nothing but abundance in life.

Plants and animals in nature live in a harmonies cycle of growth and death. Humans have disrupted this balance, the further we get from our true natural state the more scared and timid we become.

You’re here for a reason, you have what you need, or its on its way, if we are open and willing the abundance of life is available to us all.
