I learned a very valuable lesson this week about persistence. The lesson is that persistence, especially emotional persistence Always results in a person getting exactly what they persist in feeling. I know, this should have been common sense, because “thoughts are things”, right? But, what I’m talking about is those emotions that we feel that seem to just come up out the subconscious when we can Ill afford to be thinking and acting in destructive ways. Let me illustrate.
So, this past week I have been revamping my beliefs about money. Yep, I’m gonna talk about what I used to believe was my truth about money. I used to believe that I was bad at handling money, and I demonstrated and proved, with absolute persistence, that belief in everything I did in my life related to money. Eventhough I have known for a long time I had this limiting belief about money and knew for sure that this belief would keep me stuck in mediocrity, I has applied the principle of persistence to my subconscious mind so effectively that it was still running my life.
Here is the major lesson learned…. I learned that I felt ashamed of everything I have done in my life over money, every bad decision, every foolish scheme, every ridiculous argument with my wife. I was ashamed of it all. I had applied persistence to the process of attaching shame to my liming belief about money and had locked it in place as my truth.
My friend and business partner, Colleen K. Peltomaa asked me, “David, would you be willing to give yourself praise for your amazing ability to hold onto Shame about Money?” As I let that question sink in, I start laughing, mainly at myself, because it sounded so completely ridiculous. But then it dawned on me, I Have a Skill! Wait, if I could hang onto Shame about Money with that kind of persistence, I could just a easily choose any other really strong emotion that I want to hang onto about money instead! Wow!
So, I got some help from another dear friend and coach, LaTisha Bell. From that help I have installed a New emotion about money, “I am Enthusiastic about Money.” Enthusiasm has always been my most favorite positive emotion. I have always loved how easily my life and business flows and grows when I focus on freely giving with great enthusiasm. So, I am now practicing my amazing ability to apply persistence, and I am hanging onto my enthusiasm about money just as hard as I can. “I am Enthusiastic about Money.” I’m doing whatever it takes to believe that, including saying it At Least 400 times a day.
