- When you're not chasing it, it comes to you.
When you're not desperate for it, it comes to you.
- People will come to me and they'll say,
"I'm very spiritual."
"Why isn't the money coming to me?"
- I was trying to just survive.
- And let's talk about becoming a better version
of ourselves through the money game.
A lot of people, in fact,
let's go there before we go into the great debt lie.
Why shouldn't we be embarrassed
about making and talking about money?
- Because it's like people say, "Oh, money's not important."
Or money is not everything.
I'll be, the funding is not everything.
But it's important in our day-to-day life.
Right?
And it's very difficult to
not focus on it when you,
when you're lacking abundance, right?
I always say, you cannot
you can not give coming from a, from a place of lack.
You can only give coming from a place of abundance.
The only people forget about money
about money that people have money.
It's very difficult, right back then, if I can
I can buy groceries.
I can't, I can't.
Like the, my light would be shut off.
Right. I would be kicked up by the landlord.
It's very difficult.
It's think about how can I help other people.
I was trying to just survive.
Right?
But when you can get the out away
when you can get kind of money out of the way
now you're like, "Okay, I have plenty."
I have a lot.
I have more than, than enough.
Then that's when you can make a shift and say,
"Hey, what could I do?"
And it's not just donation.
I'm talking about what can I do
with my gift, my talent, my, my, just myself.
How can I give more? Right?
But funny thing is with money, money is
is something that when you don't need it, it comes to you.
When you're not chasing it, it comes to you.
When you're not desperate for it, it comes to you.
Right?
So that's what I'm talking about.
That don't be afraid to talk about it.
It's it's, we live on this planet.
It's part of our life.
We don't need to shy away from it.
It's nothing.
It's, it's a tool.
It's like, it it's like a gun.
You can use it to shoot people, to hurt people
or you can use it to protect.
It's all depends on how you, how you use it.
And I think our society
we have such a, a negative association.
I mean example,
Michael, you know, growing up, like,
what are some of the negative beliefs
that we have when it comes to money?
Right?
- Well, money is the root of all evil.
If somebody is rich
they must have gotten it by negative means.
- Yes.
Right. Like it's all negative.
You don't think about, "Oh, you know what?"
Money is what built a library.
Money is what build a hospital.
Right?
Money is won't be able to help, you know, develop this cure.
People don't think about that.
Right?
And if you are,
doesn't matter who you are and people say, "Oh, but I don't,
"I don't want to make more money."
"Money is going to change who I am."
"It's going to make me less spiritual."
I say, why not both?
One of these spiritual and also be wealthy.
Like it to me, people talk about,
"Oh, I know I'm spiritually abundant".
But if you're truly abundant,
it shouldn't be, you'd be abundant
in all areas of your life.
- I look at, I look at money as energy.
Let's say if you're spiritual.
If you're at a high vibration
why not attract that in?
And then you have one heck of a lever.
- Yes.
- [Michael] Hope means the world.
- Yes.
And then, and then, and then it's like, yeah,
it's also your health.
Right?
Health wealth, right?
Your mind, your emotion, your, everything.
Why not?
Why not have all?
Why not just focus on one?
Because most people are actually
they say they're spiritual, but they're not.
They are using spirituality as a, as an escape.
- [Michael] Correct.
- Not to face reality.
That's the truth.
"Oh yeah, I'm spiritual."
"So I don't need to worry about this stuff."
What you're saying is, you're afraid.
You're not living on your potential.
You're not willing to do what it takes.
You're, you're afraid because he's, here's the deal, right?
People stay in their comfort zone.
And they say, they use this shield, spirituality,
the shield.
And say, I say, "Okay, so you're a good person?"
And said, "Yes"
"You want to help people?"
"Yeah".
"Are you sure you want to help people?"
"Oh yeah, I want to help people."
I say, "You don't".
And they always like a little bit offended.
What do you mean?
I want to help people?
What do you mean I don't want to help people?
I don't think you want to help people.
No, no. I want to help people.
But I said the desire for you to help people diminish it.
We question, it requires you, diminish you.
Go outside the comfort zone.
You say no.
- No, no,
No.
- You are already be in your little bubble
versus, you know what?
If you need to help more people
guess what, you're going to get criticized.
You going to get haters.
It's going to demand you to sacrifice your time
so you can impact more people.
So you can accumulate more resources.
You're not willing to do any of these things.
So you're not really willing to sacrifice
sacrifice that much of yourself to help others
because you put yourself first.
And that's why you say, "Nope, I don't want to do this."
"I don't want to do that."
"I don't want to do this."
"I don't want to do that."
Then you don't really want to help.
You say, you want to help.
It looks good. But you don't.
Because the ones that want to help they out
they're doing stuff.
They're not talking stuff.
- They call it the two-step dance.
Because people will come to me and they'll say,
"I'm very spiritual."
"Why isn't the money coming to me?"
"I pray."
"I do the law of attraction."
"I do this."
"I do that."
And I'll say, "But you get to step forward."
You have to take that step.
But what you're talking about
what I'm talking about is a lot of steps.
- Yes.
