Conduct of Wealth
I say no to misaligned clients. I have done this from day one of my business, because I have conducted all of my business inside of wealth consciousness.
Wealth consciousness does not mean that I have always "known I had enough resources," it means that I knew the resources could not be a component of my motivation, neither running from "not enough" nor running toward "riches."
Wealth consciousness is about distribution.
Poverty consciousness is concerned with acquisition of resources and costs to resources. It is of poverty consciousness to reassure myself that I will always have enough resources. It is poor manifestation to see a client signing up as an arrival of the money I've been praying for. In this consciousness, it is compelling to work with any client who is willing and able to pay me. Say no to money? No way! Refuse what I just "attracted?" Isn't it a *sign* that this has arrived, whatever discomfort I feel with it? Is that the discomfort of receiving?
When the concern is one of distribution, I'm looking at a potential client relationship for how it feels to offer them the resources of my time, energy, and attention. Will it feel good to be together, is my love for them earnest and overwhelming, do I truly believe that what I distribute into their life is going to a sacred source and will blossom and flourish in their lives FOR THEM? This is the confronting, humbling discomfort of receiving, receiving my own ability to impact a sacred human life through the offering of my resources.
Distribution of resources is something that a person in poverty consciousness cannot consider until they know what they'll receive in return. "How much?" and "will it be enough?" Poverty consciousness cannot let go the quantity and source of resources as a concern. Poverty consciousness distributes resources on a frequency of regret and resentment, tracking them, clinging to them, fearing they will never be so flush again. Wealth consciousness distributes resources on a frequency of eagerness and enthusiasm, wanting to put them somewhere they will APPRECIATE.
In wealth consciousness, the cost is not a governing force. The point is to spend it all. We KNOW there's no such thing as keeping it or saving it. We have a distribution plan, sacred receptacles, and enact faith in the resources required to fulfill the plan. Distribution is my business. Resource acquisition is a consequence of me minding my real business. Resources want to come in when they know (and like) where they will go.
Thinking with poverty consciousness does NOT prevent us from enacting wealth consciousness, thank goodness. I have had all of these thoughts as I have run my business, but I have always let wealth guide my CONDUCT.
It's got that cold-plunge feeling, that intense discomfort I am actively choosing, breathing through and into and with, as everything in me which is not that choice and that choicemaker rebels against it.
It's clarifying, revealing, exposing. It shows me what is real.
