Money Saboteur #1 - Addiction
By definition, if you’re addicted, you’re seeking a quick fix. You may have a low tolerance for emotional pain, confusion or ambiguity. You seek the easy way out through alcohol, sugar, gambling, sex, drugs, work, church activities, children… pick your poison.
I disagree that addiction is an ‘illness.’ It may lead to an illness, but having personally experienced with addiction in my family and friends, I can tell you it’s a person’s choice to simply not deal with life.
The usual scene this is that an addict doesn’t believe in themselves or their worth, so they feel helpless to improve their conditions. This leads to a desire for escape, in some cases total annihilation, and shutting everyone out from "their safe place".
If you are addicted, your Life Purpose is out of reach.

Money Saboteur #2 - Blame
Instant evidence of low self-worth: “Well, it’s easy for you – you came from a rich family.”
“Oh, it’s easy for you – you went to Harvard.”
“It’s easy for you because you are smarter, richer, faster, luckier.”
“She's prettier, slimmer, taller... that's why men like her”
The minute you hear these sad stories combined with the mention of ‘luck,’ you know you're listening to a victim seeking someone to blame for their struggles. Why?
If you have low self-esteem, you don’t feel you can overcome your struggles. And there must be some reason, right? The world is against you and it’s not your fault. How tiring for the victim in the blame cycle.
I suggest you drop ALL blame and criticism forever and watch your life turn around. I have never, ever met a wealthy ‘victim’ who actually made their money through their own efforts. Sure, I’ve met wealthy victims who inherited money, but blaming others for your sad state will ensure you stay a victim forever.
And blame insults the person who is successful, whether they’ve had lots of support or struggled mightily for it. We never ever know another person’s path. We can only take responsibility for our own.

Money Saboteur #3 - Inherited Rejection
This is classic: “I see many rich people are very materialistic and money is a great temptation.”
Then replace it with: “I see many fat people are greedy and the spoon is a great temptation.”
“Everyone I helped out ended up hurting me.”
“I believe if one is 1% disloyal + 99% loyal, then he/she is 100% disloyal.”
Then replace it with: “I see many fat people are greedy and the spoon is a great temptation.”
“Everyone I helped out ended up hurting me.”
“I believe if one is 1% disloyal + 99% loyal, then he/she is 100% disloyal.”
When you have the spirit of rejection, you will set up opportunities to reject others' success and achievements. Perhaps you create extremely high standards for others to comply with, so that the very instant they fail, your suspicion is true and "your reality" is confirmed.
STOP IT! No one is perfect. God considers a rich liar His friend, his name was Abraham. Jesus did not expect Peter's 100% loyalty when Peter disowned Him, and later assigned Peter to be His representative. Start accepting people for who they are and celebrate people's business success or marriage success. Start accepting yourself for your faults and your gifts. You are worthy of wealth, happiness and success.
