When I was reading, I was thinking ” Yeah, I dont think I could have gotten on the plane. I would have felt too much guilt” (more for the lady whose daughter was getting surgery).
Guilt can be a HUGE barrier to claiming abundance.
I speak from experience. For most of my life, i have been more “others” oriented rather than “me” oriented in a lot of ways. If i didn’t put others first, I would feel guilty and selfish.
I still feel this tension between claiming what I deserve in business, and life, and not being selfish and egotistical.

As always good food for thought.

I can really relate to what you’re saying. So much of what we want in life is there for the taking if only we remain open to the possibilities.

“You turn away help and support because you insist on doing things yourself.”

This seems to be a theme for me. Grrr. I’m changing fast though. I’m learning over and over again to ask for and embrace help. Got it again U:-)

Hi Tess! It’s been a while! We are counterculturally taught that taking things for ourselves is selfish and wrong. We’re taught if someone offers us something free, we don’t take it. We either are taught not to trust them or to not appear greedy/needy. But I had a talk with a self-made millionaire who owns a multimillion dollar enterprise who shared some “secrets” to wealth-building. One thing he said is, “It’s okay to take what you need. You can’t give to others unless you have something to give.” and “If someone offers you something, you ALWAYS accept. They wouldn’t offer it if they didn’t mean it.”

I lived in Phoenix for a year (LONG story I’d love to tell you someday) and loved it. Sorry I was never able to connect with you! But I hope you’re well!

Tess-
Love your travel stories ~ and that you used them as a metaphor for showing up ‘to yourself and for yourself’. I can identify with more than one of the behaviors you mentioned ~ I am working on catching myself in ‘false beliefs’ – man, that’s a killer.

Thanks for the list of ways you might be resisting your abundance. There were a few on this list that made think,

How lucky you are! It is a wonderful perk that you are getting. I would love to have the chance to travel so often.

Oh yes, abundance is everywhere. If only we let ourselves open to it. Incidentally, I am stepping up to offer my assistance to those who have difficulties believing in themselves and who are experiencing blocks to financial abundance. I am so looking forward to rendering help in this area!
