Your ability to make money is directly correlated to how willing you are to be broke.
Not kidding. The people who most want to create something are often the ones most terrified of losing everything. Deep down there's this fear of ending up homeless, or failing some version of their dad from 1972. And that fear runs the whole show. It turns into force. It turns into control. Nothing real can move through force.
Years ago I worked with a woman carrying this quiet grief. Her mom hadn't called her in eight years. Not once. She felt completely invisible.
The first half hour of our call, we just sat in it. She let herself feel the whole thing. She cried. She said goodbye to her mom, not out of anger, but out of release. She freed herself from needing it to be any different.
Then something shifted. For the next twenty minutes she lit up. Ideas started pouring out of her. She was talking about what she wanted to build now that she wasn't spending all her energy waiting for a call that never came.
And in the last five minutes, her phone rang.
It was her mom.
A Course in Miracles opens by telling you miracles are normal. They're supposed to be the baseline. And when they're not showing up, it means something is in the way. Usually it's us. Our grip. The part of you insisting this shouldn't be happening is the same part blocking the thing you keep praying for.
You don't force a miracle. You get out of its way.
