This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes from Sandy.
You’ve talked about the fact that all the money that ever was or ever will be is available right now. But I’m in debt. Significant debt. How does that work with what you’re teaching? Do I focus on the abundance or do I focus on getting out of debt first?
Never focus on debt. Ever. That’s focusing on lack.
Here’s what debt is: debt is a past result showing up in your present reality. It’s based on past decisions, past consciousness. It’s already done.
You cannot get out of debt by focusing on debt. You can only get out of debt by focusing on creating wealth.
Now, practically speaking, yes, you have to make the payments. You have to honor your obligations. But that’s not where your mental energy goes.
Your mental energy goes on creating income. On creating value. On serving people at a high level and being compensated well for it.
When you focus on creating wealth, the debt takes care of itself. You have more money coming in, you pay it down, and it’s handled.
But when you focus on the debt—when you’re constantly worried about it, constantly stressed about it, constantly aware of it—all you’re doing is creating more of the consciousness that created the debt in the first place.
You got into debt because of a certain level of consciousness. You’re not going to get out of it from that same level.
So here’s what you do: you acknowledge the debt exists. You set up a payment plan. And then you shift your entire focus to wealth creation.
Not debt reduction. Wealth creation.
Because wealth consciousness creates wealth. Debt consciousness creates more debt.
Where you put your attention is what grows. So stop feeding the debt with your attention and start feeding the wealth.
The debt will dissolve as a natural byproduct of your wealth consciousness. But it won’t dissolve if that’s all you’re focused on.
