Worthy: Boost Your Self-Worth to Grow Your Net Worth

EXERCISE #10: WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST?

Without a higher education, I’m not qualified/worthy enough

I don’t know how much money I spend regularly.

EXERCISE #5: WHAT CONTROLS YOUR PURSE STRINGS?

Nearly all of us have a ceiling on what we believe we can get in life. We think, “I get this much, but no more.” It’s like animals in zoos who get used to small cages. Even when placed in large habitats, they sometimes stay in an area the size of their former cage. They become accustomed to their limitations and don’t feel comfortable with more.

When I look back, I realize I didn’t ask because I didn’t want to appear stupid. Feeling stupid triggered my worthiness issues, and I didn’t want to go there.

Call your credit card companies, and ask them to lower your interest rates, or transfer balances to lower interest cards. Always return items that you don’t need or want. Don’t allow yourself to keep something you won’t use, just because it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable to get your money back.

Luxuries are for other people.

Can you see the secret in all of this? We are always creating exactly the reality we’re most committed to having. It doesn’t matter what we say we want. If we don’t have the thing we desire, it’s because we’re more committed to our present state than we are to getting what we want.
