Despite having a reasonably highly paid job I never seemed to have any spare money, always scraping by. One day a Google search brought me to Steve’s blog (I forget what I searched for) and I was very impressed by the honesty and integrity of the blog. One post that really stood out to me was a post about providing value in life. I took a long hard look at the way I was living and realized that despite earning a high wage I was doing as little as I could get away with in my job and living with a scarcity mindset.
I gradually changed my thinking and decided to give as much value as I could in everything I did (not just in my day job but all areas of my life) and also became open to abundance in all areas of my life. This took a while and is still a journey I’m on. The result was that my job income didn’t really change much but I found myself no longer short of money, my finances were in much better shape, I believe just from a change of attitude to providing value and believing abundance was available to me things got better.
Since then I have more financial income in from other streams and I’ve had more money that I’ve ever had before. Other parts of my life are more abundant too. I can understand what Steve is saying, the value he provided by just that one post changed my life a great deal and the knock on effect for my family, friends and work colleagues has also been significant. The more value you provide, along with being open to abundance, the more money you are going to attract. That’s what changed things for me anyway. |
Thank you for sharing your story Matt. I personally found it pertinent, helpful and inspiring!
