This post is a part of a series of posts that begins with an introduction titled “Develop a New Relationship with Money”.  This is step 1 of a 5 part process to stimulate wealth and eliminate financial stress:

Step 1 - Believe in your birthright: You won’t be able to enhance your financial picture if you don’t feel worthy to receive money.  I constantly compare money to oxygen.  Oxygen is one of several birthrights that we humans are entitled to once we leave the womb.  If we were conditioned to believe that oxygen had to be “earned” just imagine the ramifications!  And yet to me, it is just as ludricrous to believe we have to “earn” money.  That concept sets up for failure right from the start.  And think about it, we were taught that we have to “earn money” from the time we were very young!  We were given an allowance based on getting chores done.  We had to “earn” money to go to the movies by cleaning the house.  We had to “earn” gas money by treating our parents with respect.  Can you imagine holding oxygen over your child’s head and saying “you can’t inhale unless you fold your laundry”?  If you say it’s not the same thing or if you think this concept is ridiculous, I challenge you to experiment with the idea for a while - start training your mind to believe that money is just as much of a birthright as oxygen and see what happens.

I create income and draw money to me in a variety of ways because I have a mind that believes it is a birthright.  If income happens to be lighter than usual one month, money comes to me in other ways - amazing ways.  I have received anonymous checks written by third party signatures, commission checks I wasn’t expecting and settlement checks for thousands of dollars more than I anticipated.  And money has also come in the form of material gifts or credits.  I rented office space and after remodeling, I was low on cash to buy furniture.  Because I have a mind that believes everything works in my favor, I didn’t worry.  A client called and asked if I could take an antique desk off her hands - a beautiful desk, mine in exchange for simply getting it out of her way.  Someone else provided a brand new set of wing chairs, and someone else offered a free printer, and the next thing you know the majority of my office was filled with good quality furnishings and equipment for which I didn’t even ask and didn’t spend a dime.  Prosperity is our birthright - believe it and you will begin to see miracles unfold.

Stay tuned for Step 2 of 5!
