Full Episode
Your relationship with money is one of the most powerful relationships you have. Gratitude and generosity is the gateway to abundance. The biggest blocks of abundance is people's money wounds. Our beliefs influence our behaviors. How we think and feel influences the way we act and react to certain things in life.
And a lot of our beliefs are just shaped by our story around what we heard, saw, or learned growing up. I think everyone should ask themselves, what is a definition of a rich life? And what does abundance look like for them? What does wealth look like for them?
I've asked this to a lot of wealthy individuals, like, what do you think is the secret to earning and making more financially and also feeling good? And they always say the best skills you can cultivate are the things you're most afraid of. You gain a superpower when you overcome a fear and you develop a skill around it.
And I think the goal is to figure out how can we be peaceful, harmonious, and feel whole no matter where we are financially.
Lewis, my man, welcome back. Thanks for having me, man. Yeah, it's my pleasure. What does it mean and what does it look like for you? What does it feel like to live a rich, prosperous, and abundant life?
Wholeness, peace, and abundance. The feeling of abundance. I think a lot of times in my life, I didn't feel like I was living a prosperous life because I felt wounded. I felt scarce. I felt insecure. I felt like I was doubting myself. And those doubts made me feel like I was living in scarcity versus living in an abundance of possibilities, of freedom, of peace.
And so for me, the rich life is living a peaceful, abundant life.
It's so important to define what that is for us, right? Because we're fed with so many notions of what it means to be rich or wealthy, but We all have a different psychological makeup and what's going to make us uniquely fulfilled. And so how important do you feel like that question from a wide perspective is to ask?
I think everyone should ask themselves, what is a definition of a rich life? And what does abundance look like for them? What does wealth look like for them? If you would have asked me when I was in my 20s, I'd have been like having millions of dollars in the bank and being able to do whatever I want whenever I want. And that's an element maybe to feeling rich for me.
