Kate Question #14

 

Dear Joshua,

You ask for an example of negative emotion and limiting beliefs which I can look at to see the falseness of these last....

Most of the recurring negative emotion of Fear is at (and around) work where I am in stock equity sales, talking with fund managers. I love part of my job (which reminds me a bit of Gary's poker - a mix of skill, intuition, and knowledge) - being exposed to stories, entrepreneurs and sometimes even being right.... but my irrational fears (limiting beliefs) are:

I'm not very good at this (I don't have a natural salesmanship ability and don't enjoy arguing ideas). Therefore my fear and nervousness comes across to clients and makes them uncomfortable, therefore I risk losing them (the clients), therefore I risk judgment, criticism by my superiors and colleagues and clients, and the possible loss of job. If I lose my job, then what? Where do I go? How do I feed myself, and again, there are aspects of this work that I really enjoy and often I consider myself so "lucky" to be where I am today - Universe has definitely worked in my favor up until now.

My well being and livelihood depend on my competences in this job which is the only job I have been offered in 11 years and I could lose those and then what? Even if I were to re-invent myself, I'm in the group of older people who have trouble finding jobs. So there is Financial insecurity, fear of failure, fear of loss....

And I have often explored the option of "working harder", studying more, learning more but feel right now that this is a defeated goal as I will never know everything, or enough to make me feel always confident and secure, and I am way more attracted to talking with you and learning about well being and vibration, or talking with my boyfriend than picking up yet another text book.....

I know in theory that I am ok and won't be homeless .... I own my apartment, I have skills and I'm not afraid of work. I have family who could catch me if necessary. And then Source, as you say. And this knowledge helps a bit but doesn't really go in the direction of my desires - just soothes some of my fears. But my job is competitive (I believe? limited belief?), I'm not the best and there is a lot of comparing going on (by the bosses who continuously look at our stats and tell others about them and push us...the clients who have to choose suppliers etc).

Recently the thought has crossed my mind to dump it all and do something else, since there is this level of resistance ... but again ... what (this is me asking me, not you :). And stopping with this vibration would just mean I would take it somewhere else, and I don't want to ... I want to be good and relaxed and confident (I think ...).

Thank you
Love Kate


Dear Kate,

We will start by saying that the job you have and the income you receive was provided to you by Source. Source provides well-being, Source is responsible for the air you breath, the food you eat, the water you drink, the light, the sun, the gravity, the time, the space, Planet Earth, your family and your friends and your job. Source provides it all. It is all there for you to enjoy as much or as little as you allow yourself. Source has always and will always provide you with everything you need when you need it as long as you allow it. It matters not that you have this job, or another job, or no job. Source provides well-being in whatever terms you want to use to describe it.

You might believe that you are responsible for earning a living. That is not entirely true. Source provides it and you are responsible for allowing it. You allow the money to flow in the exact amount it flows. You can allow more to flow or you can restrict the flow. It is all up to you. You believe that this job is the means that the money will flow and so it flows. You might see that your belief system is responsible for how you allow the flow of well-being to come to you. It is all a matter of your beliefs.

If you believed you were unworthy of the job you now have, you could not have been offered the job. You would not have allowed the job to come to you. If you believed you were not worthy of the boyfriend you have, you would not have that boyfriend. If you believed you were far more worthy than the job you have (if you felt the job was beneath you) you would have some other job that was aligned with your higher feeling of worthiness.

So forget about the job for now and think about how you feel about yourself. If you felt less worthy than you do, you would have a job that reflected those feelings. If you felt more worthy than you currently feel, you would have a job (or source of income) that reflected those feelings. If you trusted your worthiness absolutely and had faith in Source, you would not need a job at all. Abundance would simply flow without you needing to know how.

When you feel negative emotion around your job, you are feeling unworthy. The unworthiness you feel is false because you could not be more worthy. You are truly and absolutely unique and this is proof of your worthiness. You are as worthy as any who has ever or will ever live. The negative emotion you feel when believing you are not worthy is your indication from your inner self that you are thinking rubbish. You are focused in a way that does not serve who you really are or what you really want.

You current job is the perfect place to try out what you are learning in these conversations with us. You are a worthy being. As you compare yourself with those you work with, you see some who seem to be better than you. You believe they are smarter or more skilled or better communicators, or better researchers, or have access to better information, or are luckier than you. This is simply not true. You are exactly as worthy as any of them, it's just that those who seem more successful believe in their own worthiness to a greater level. They are allowing more of the flow of abundance to come to them. They are choosing to see things from a higher perspective which allows them to receive more. They exude confidence.

Confidence is the beneficial belief that things are working out for you. Since this planet was designed to bring you everything you desire, and since you are the center of your universe, and since this is your life to create in any way that you choose, why not be confident? It is a choice one makes. You can either choose to believe that you have all the power you need to create everything and anything you desire, or you may choose to believe that you are a victim of circumstances. If the circumstances were better, your life would be better. This is a limiting belief and will not help you create the life you desire.

As you boost your belief in your own worthiness by adopting more confidence in your ability to allow the flow of well-being and abundance, you will see a great shift at work. You will see that people will begin to trust whatever it is you have to say. You will see that the right ideas will come to you at the right time. You will see that your bets pay off for your clients. You will tune to a new vibration that allows the flow to flow much more than before.

The only reality is that which you perceive. It is really just an elaborate illusion. Release your fear and start accepting your worthiness. Adopt a stance of confidence and start believing in what we are saying. You have nothing to lose. You fear the loss of a job that you are ready to throw away. So why fear its loss? Since you have nothing to lose, let's see how far you can take it.

Joshua
