Are You Guilty of it as Well?

01 Sep

In her blog post, Are You Living a Lie? , coach Pam Thomas writes of the perils of "not enough" in our daily lives and how much we're bombarded with that message. I totally agree with her thoughts on the subject and am dedicating myself to the next 21 days of turning those negative messages around into something more empowering. C'mon... Are you ready to turn the negativity around?

Are You Living A Lie? - by Pam Thomas

WARNING: Semi-rant to follow. Proceed at your own risk. Just recently I was listening to a recorded version of Lynne Twistâ€™s keynote speech â€œThe Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Lifeâ€ . This inspiring speech was not about how to create more money, but rather how to form a better relationship with money and life in general. The main message was loud and clear; as a society and as individuals we live from a place of scarcity and lack. Why? Because we have been sold a bold-faced lie along the way! As Lynne was telling the audience how we live with the lie that there is never enough it dawned on me just how easy it is to get trapped in that lie. We do it everyday in what may seem the most innocuous of ways. Consider some of the â€œnot enoughâ€ messages we generate on a daily basis, most often subconsciously ; Not enough sleep Not enough money Not enough smarts Not enough clothes Not enough skills Not enough time Not thin enough Not handsome enough Not pretty enough Not courageous enough Not witty enough Not enough, not enough, not enough. Whatâ€™s it going to take for every single one of us to stop buying into the lie that there is not enough? That we as a collective whole and as individuals are not enough? We are enough! You are enough! Think about it, together as a nation we have banded together many times to raise awareness around important issues. As a matter of fact, we do it daily in the blogosphere. Frankly, I fail to believe that there is not one person out there who has never accomplished something really wonderful. So you see we are enough and there is plenty of â€œenoughâ€ to go around. Are you game and ready to stop living the lie of scarcity? If so, hereâ€™s the challenge, for the next 21 days (since it takes 21 days to form a habit), I encourage you to stop feeding the lie by watching your own thoughts and feelings. When the â€œnot enoughâ€ messages appear come up with a way to reframe them, to swap them out for a more empowering message. Then at the end of the 21 days, please come back here and let us know what happened. Together we can stop the lie from spreading. Who's with me? by: Pam Thomas of Make the Most of U blog
