47 Limiting Beliefs About Money
--
And How to Release Them Right Now
By Mandy Evans
I've known Mandy Evans for about twenty years. She is a
remarkable belief-clearing counselor. I asked her to compile a list of
the most common negative or limiting beliefs about money that she
could find. I also asked her to tell us how to remove them. The
reason for my request is sometimes people give but have belief-
blocks keeping them from receiving. Clear the blocks and the
prosperity comes. The following article by Mandy offers a truly
brilliant way out of the maze of limiting beliefs about money.
What you believe about money will play a greater role in your
level of prosperity and in your enjoyment of that prosperity than
most people imagine.
In fact, most people do not imagine the role beliefs play in their
financial success or lack of it. Most people never even think about
their beliefs. We just act on them.
I have been collecting examples of self-defeating beliefs like
squirrels collect nuts for the winter for a long time. Here are some
real beliefs about money from real people in real workshops and
classes. These beliefs cut off the inflow of money into countless
lives - or slowed it to a trickle. Some of them are familiar and some
are so unique that they seem strange. Sometimes the same belief can
be life-expanding for one person and life-extinguishing for another.
Read through this list and see if you identify with any of the beliefs.
- Money is the root of all evil. (The actual quote is "The love
of money is the root of all evil.")
- If I am successful people will hate me.
- If I make a million dollars, I might lose it and then I would
feel stupid and hate myself forever.
- There is not enough money to go around.
- If I have a little more than I need to get by, someone else has
to go without.
- If I have a lot more than I need to get by, lots of people will
have to go without.
- It is better to take less than to be responsible for someone
else's hardship.
- Democrats punish the rich.
- Republicans punish the poor.
- If I make a lot of money, I will be betraying my father who
never made much money.
- The rich get richer.
- The poor get poorer.
- I am smart and talented; I should get more!
- You should always use money well.
- Money is hard to deal with.
- Money is hard to get.
- You have to work hard to get it.
- To save money you have to do without things.
- Time is money.
- I can't have money and free time.
- Money is not spiritual.
- You have to do lots of things you don't like in order to have
money.
- I do not have enough to share or give away.
- Accepting money obligates me.
- It is better to take less than my due and be free from sticky
situations.
- To be a valuable person I have to work more for less money
than other people do.
- Having money stops you from being happy.
- Money spoils you.
- I will never have enough.
- If I don't feel bad about past mistakes and afraid about the
future I will make the same mistakes again. (From an
investment broker)
- It's best if I just want enough to get by.
- You get what you deserve.
- Being super-conscious about every single penny is the good-the right - thing to do.
- Never buy anything that you don't need.
- If you were a smart woman you would be supporting
yourself easily by now.
- If you were a smart and cute woman you would have married
someone with money by now.
- I always rent; owning a house would be too scary.
- I would never feel secure if I had to be responsible for much
more than a hammock.
- I have to own my own home to feel secure - unless I had at
least maybe a yacht. If I buy something that breaks, I'm
stupid.
- Worrying about money is tacky.
- Daddy will like me better if I don't spend much.
- I want to have a lot of money when I get old, then people
will be nice to me.
- I never want people to know I have so much money because
people are really mean to rich people.
- If I get paid a lot people will find out that I am a fraud.
- Daddy will love me lots more if I don't spend much.
- Everybody wants more; when it comes to money, less is
better.
- There's somebody else inside me that spends all of my
money.
If you identify with any of these beliefs, go though them one by
one and answer these three questions about each belief.
- Why do I believe that?
- Is it true?
- What might I be concerned would happen if I did not believe
that?
By asking those three probing questions of any belief, you can dis-charge it --- and become free to go for your desires.
You'll also be free to give --- as well as to receive.
Go ahead and work through those beliefs right now.

关于金钱的47个错误观念
以及如果消除它们
By Mandy Evans
我认识 Mandy Evans 已经大约25年了。她是位著名的“信仰清净师”（心灵顾问），我让她把所有关于金钱的消极的、
限制性的观念列出来，并请她告诉我们怎样才能消除这些观念。我只所以提出这个问题，是因为有些人受这些观念的影响，他们虽然愿意布施，但在“接受”上却有障碍。
清除这些障碍，才能走向富足。Mandy 的文章给那些还在错误观念的迷宫里徘徊的人指出了一条光明大道。
你关于金钱的观念，直接影响到你生活的富足程度，以及你将如何享受这种富足；其影响程度，远远比大多数人所认为的还要多的多。
事实上，大多数人并没有意识到“观念”对他们的财务状况的影响；很多人甚至从来都没有思考过他们的观念；他们只是无意识地依之而行。
我长久以来一直在收集那些自我危害的观念的例子，就象松鼠为冬天收集松果一样。它们都来自我的培训班中真实的人。这些观念截断了无数人的“向内流动的金钱之流”，或者把它变成了
缓慢的细流。这其中有些观念你们可能很熟悉，另一些则很特殊，你可能没有听说过。有时同样一个观念会让某些人的生活之路越来越宽广，却会使另外一些人的生活越来越艰难。读读下面的这些观念，看你是
否认同其中的一些。
- 钱是罪恶的根源。（更精确的说法是“对金钱的爱是罪恶的根源”）
- 如果我很成功，别人会恨我。
- 如果我挣得100万美元，我可能最终会失去它，然后我会觉得自己很蠢，而恨自己一辈子。
- 没有足够的金钱来供我们挣取。
- 如果我有比我度日所需要的更多的钱，就一定会有人因此而缺钱。
- 如果我的钱比我度日所需的要多得多，就一定会有很多人因此而缺钱，难以生活。
- 自己少拿点钱，总比导致别人的艰辛要好得多。
- 民主党惩治富人。
- 共和党惩治穷人。
- 如果我挣很多钱，我就背叛了我那从来挣不了多少钱的父亲。
- 富人会越来越富。
- 穷人会越来越穷。
- 我聪明有才，因此我理应挣的更多。
- 你应该把钱花到正处。
- 钱可不是容易处理的东西。
- 挣钱不容易。
- 必须努力工作才能挣钱。（译者注：重要——布施才能挣钱！）
- 只有节约才能存钱。
- 时间就是金钱。
- 我不能同时拥有金钱和自由的时间。
- 金钱不是“精神性”的东西。
- 为了挣钱，你必须去做你不愿意做的事情。（译者注：重要！）
- 我没有足够多的东西来给大家分享或布施。
- 接受别人的钱使我感到有压力。
- 拿的钱要比自己应得的少一点，这样可以避免陷入困境。
- 为了成为一个有价值的人，我必须干比别人更多的工作，而拿比别人更少的钱。
- 金钱会使你不幸福。
- 金钱会败坏（宠坏）你。
- 我永远都不会有足够多的钱。
- 如果我既不为过去的错误感到内疚，也不对未来感到恐惧，那我还会犯同样错误。（引自一个投资经纪人的话）
- 钱只要够用就行。
- 你（只能）得到的你应得的。
- 对每一分钱都高度警觉，是一个好的、正确的态度。
- 永远不要买你不需要的东西。
- 如果你是个有才华的女人，你现在应该能轻而易举地做到自立（自己养活自己）。
- 如果你是个聪明而可爱的女人，你应该已经和一个有钱人结婚了。
- 我总是租房子住；供房太可怕了。
- 如果我的责任比一张吊床要承担的还更为沉重，我就没有安全感。
- 拥有属于自己的房产我才会感到安全 - 除非我还至少有，也许，一艘游艇。如果我买的东西会减值，我就是个傻瓜。
- 老想着钱是很俗气的。
- 如果我不花太多的钱，爸爸可能会更喜欢我。
- 我希望当我老的时候有很多钱，这样别人会对我好的。
- 我不想让别人知道我有这么多的钱，因为大家对富人都很刻薄。
- 如果我得到的报酬太多，别人会认为我是个骗子。
- 如果我不花太多的钱，爸爸会更爱我。
- 每个人都想得到更多；但对钱来说，越少越好。
- 是我内心深处的某个人（而不是我自己）花掉了我所有的钱。
如果您认同其中的某些观念，请将它们再逐条仔细读读，然后针对每个观念回答如下3个问题。
- 我为什么要相信它？
- 它是真的吗？
- 如果我不相信它，又会怎么样呢？
通过对某个观念提出这三个探测性的问题，你就能够消除它 - 并自由的追求你所渴望的东西。
你也会获得布施的自由 - 以及“获得”的自由。
现在立刻开始检查这些观念吧。
