Wow! This has taken me a long time to learn. I think some of it may have come on me because my Father came through the depression and had a poverty mindset so I have always had to fight against wrong thinking like, “I don’t deserve that” or “I’m not worth that much.”
I have been a hairstylist for many years and I almost felt like I would be full of greed or pride if I would charge people too much. You know what? That’s a lie and that has worked against me. That makes people feel about me the same way that I am feeling about me.
I am very grateful that I now just have a handful of wonderful clients and they are all people that think I am “worth it.” I set a price for them and all of them pay me at least double what I charge them. I am someone that loves to tip people and bless people and you know what? I deserve people that do the same. I am not saying that from a prideful place… I am saying it from a place of truth.
I have spent thousands of dollars in my life receiving wisdom and help from others. When you do that, it automatically attracts that back to you. It does not mean that you are humble to feel like you have to crawl around on the dirt like a worm. Humility means that you are not all about yourself and I am not all about myself. But God will bless you when you are not all about yourself.
There’s a voice trying to sneak up on me these days trying to tell me that if I help people i should do it for free… you know what? That is ripping them and me off if I would do it all for free. It is devaluing my time and also devaluing my wisdom and ability to help them. It also would be causing them to devalue the help I would give them. That in turn would devalue the amount of change and freedom they would receive from the help!!
There are times that I feel led to give things for free and I enjoy that but there is definitely a balance in that. I’m grateful to start coming to a greater freedom of being delivered from a poverty mindset! I hope to help many people be delivered from this too!
There is a lot of entitlement mentality in the earth today… and paying for something is the opposite of that! So to break that entitlement mindset… people have to pay and learn boundaries!! Woo hoo!! There is FREEDOM in that!! A free ride just doesn’t break off some things!!
Glad to have a voice!!
Glad I’ve lived 62 years and learned a few things!
Don’t ever devalue yourself, your time, and what you are worth!!
It doesn’t matter what people think!!
See you soon!!❤️
