How To Attract Abundance By Destroying Your Neediness | Lewis Howes

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:08There is one main thing that is blocking you from reaching your full potential. And it's all because you're trying to do everything alone. And that's a big problem.

This is about aligning what you want with the energy that attracts that thing. And for many years, I was chasing the feeling of a relationship to try to feel better about me.

1:32I was chasing building my business to try to feel like I was lovable and enough in life. And that people would see me and validate me. So I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to build a following based out of this wound or based out of the need or the desire of feeling lack. And I accomplished those things. I was able to get into relationships. I was able to build my business and make lots of money, but something felt off consistently. And it was because I was creating from a lack. I was creating from a wounded, needy place to feel like, okay, now I have this thing. I have this relationship. I have the business growing.

2:13Now I can start to feel better. But the feeling better never came. It didn't come until I started to shift this mindset. it. The feeling better when I had the thing didn't actually happen. It actually made me feel more insecure, more scarce, more in lack because I felt like, oh, I don't feel what I thought I would feel by having this relationship, by having this money. Something's wrong with me. So let me go make more money. Let me go get more followers to try to fulfill this lack inside of me. And I did that for a long time in my 20s and 30s, and it took me a while to start breaking the pattern that was holding me back.

2:53You don't want to attract anything from a desperation, from neediness, or a wound. You want to attract it from a state of being, a whole state of being that attracts peacefully. You also want to attract from a place where you feel like you can say no to everything that comes your way that is not in alignment with your purpose, your mission, or your greater self. Because when you create a sense of embodiment energetically, and the people that see that within you are going to be attracted to you. They're going to want to hang out with you. They're going to want things from you. They're going to want you to be a part of what they're up to because they want that energy.

3:37I don't know if you've ever experienced this in your life where maybe you've gone to a workshop or you've gone to a yoga retreat or you've gone on a vacation for a week and you really just kind of got grounded. You were off your phone. You were learning something new. You were letting go of a limiting belief that used to hold you back. Or maybe you went through a breakup and a transformation. Or maybe you got let go from a job, but then you stepped into the thing you wanted to create. And you were creating from a sense of inspiration. You were creating from a sense of creativity. You were creating from a sense of freedom.

4:09You were walking around in life like you were meant to be there. I don't know if you've ever experienced this or you've been around someone like that. It is infectious. It is magnetic. It is like you want to be around that person and people want to be around you. If you know what I'm talking about, leave a comment, leave a yes in the comments and like this again, just to lock it in. Because once you realize that everything you ever want is already within you, you are going to start seeing love, seeing relationships, seeing money and opportunities come your way. It is going to be a flood, a river of abundance coming to you.

4:48And that's a beautiful thing, but it can be also overwhelming if you don't have the ability to create boundaries, if you don't have the ability to be discerning and slow down, because sometimes you want to say yes to everything because it all seems exciting, but then it gets you back into a place of, oh, I'm overwhelmed. I burnt out. I've said yes too quickly without actually getting to know the people. I fell in love too quickly in the first week or two without actually knowing about the person and just thinking of the idea of the person being amazing without actually seeing all of them. And so we need to learn discernment when we start to create from a place of peace and alignment.

5:31And when you can do that, then you can really say yes and no to the opportunities financially and relationally that make sense for you. Because everything you've always wanted has always been yours. You are just finally realizing it when you start to align yourself to healing, peace, and abundance. and you have to realize what it is you truly want. What is it that you want? Do you just want a relationship because you feel alone and you want to feel a sense of love and find someone who can give it to you? That's not the best place to create from. But if you're feeling you want a relationship to amplify the joy, the love that you already feel within you, now we are talking.
