Abundance Leaks: The Unspoken Struggle of Success
We've all heard the promises: more clients, more money, more success. It's practically a mantra in the entrepreneurial world.
“I can get you x times more clients in y amount of time!”
“I can help you make x times more money in y amount of time!”
And don't get me wrong, I love seeing everyone hustling and doing their thing. But there’s another side to this conversation that often gets swept under the rug - and desperately needs to be addressed.
Sure, the chase is exhilarating. The pursuit of our desires is what keeps us going!
But what about the aftermath?
What happens when we catch that elusive dream we've been chasing?
As the Joker so wisely once noted, "I'm like a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it!"
It's a sentiment many of us can relate to. The struggle begins when we realize that receiving what we desire most is an experience that’s often much more… emotionally complicated than the simple and straightforward happiness we’d anticipated.
Many of us have been taught to chase - but not to gently and trustingly hold and cradle the things that come in.
As a result, so many of us are experiencing abundance leaks and abundance caps - and aren’t even aware of it!
Abundance Leak: Abundance flows in - only to flow right back out again because it realizes the environment isn't hospitable. It's like having a leaky bucket that you’re working so hard to fill up without realizing you need to patch it up first.
Abundance Cap: Abundance flows in - but then hits a ceiling. Your subconscious won’t allow it to exceed a certain point. This often leaves us feeling a sense of “stuckness,” of being in a rut or at a plateau.
Which is exactly why THIS part of the conversation is so crucial not to miss out on.
Because what good is making a financial fortune if your scarcity mindset is strangling the peace and joy out of it?
What's the point of a flourishing business if the pressure to maintain it feels like an elephant sitting on your chest? ((Is that how much elephants actually weigh? I have no idea. Don’t come for me, elephant experts 🐘)
In a nutshell: It's not just about how much you can get; it's about what you can peacefully and sustainably hold moving forward.
