Your Beliefs Determine Your Money and Your Wealth
By Dr. Jane F. Cundy

Our state of wealth is a direct correlation to how our parents and families related to money along with how we feel inside ourselves and what we believe is possible. We could actually draw a straight line from our beliefs around wealth, money, or prosperity directly back to how our parents related to money, wealth and prosperity.
Wealth is represented differently for each of us. For some wealth can be money, for others to be wealthy means an advanced education, many people count their wealth by the number of friends they have or their level of spiritual growth. Yet I am aware that some of the clichés around money or wealth, while not specific and the same for each of us, when expanded into larger generalities, will be represented quite similarly.
The phrases; “Money doesn’t grow on trees,” “you must work hard to make money,” or “waste not, want not” when used as generalities, will encompass most of our individual beliefs regarding money and wealth. Additional clichés include “money is hard to get,” “money is for other people, but not for me,” the list goes on and our pain grows larger and deeper generation to generation.
Interestingly enough, over 75% of our population, when questioned or when working through their old limiting beliefs, come to realize that the expression “money doesn’t grow on trees” is in part one of the root causes of their core beliefs around their limited income. In some way their families instilled the limiting belief that money is difficult to get, there is a limit to the supply or they were not worthy of receiving their dreams and desires. This does not mean that all of these individuals are not making what you might consider “good money,” it just means that they have not experienced the level of wealth that they believe is possible or would ultimately choose to enjoy. In some way, each one of them has limiting beliefs around what they deem possible to achieve. There is definitely a glass ceiling over money.
Some individuals believe that they can only earn a certain amount of money. After that it is too much, or they were told growing up that they would never be worth any more than a certain amount. They may even have been taught that to have money in large amounts is not spiritual! In order to be a good member of your religion, you can not have an abundance of money. If this is one of the core beliefs that you might be hanging on to, it could be time to let it go.
What are your beliefs regarding money and wealth, and how do they hold you captive? What do you think is possible for you and why do you have a glass ceiling around that? Are you ready to release the old captivating beliefs and embrace more empowering ones for your state of wealth? If so, today is the day to take charge.
