guilty because they hadn't worked for it. Lottery winners and people who become wealthy very quickly often feel guilty because they now have a lot of money and those they love don't. They'll overspend or give away so much of the money that they're left with nothing. If they could feel entitled to this wonderful gift from the Universe, they might find positive ways to use their financial gain that would benefit them and others, and they'd be more likely to start learning how to manage the money because they'd feel worthy of having it and work with it.
I know several people who made a lot of money quickly and let it slip away somehow. They later realized that by not emotionally accepting that they had the money, they had actually repelled it with all their guilt and discomfort. Once they developed a positive attitude toward wealth, they were able to regain it, building upon the abundance they already had.
While you can choose to work for your money or exchange something of value for it (for example, selling possessions you own), you don't always have to do so. Money can come to you in many forms, often without your having to do anything to bring it in except to experience the emotion of abundance and change your vibration. When my clients are struggling to have faith that the Universe will provide, I remind them of all the many ways in which we can receive money unconditionally:
- Gifts. People love to give. When you receive their offerings with grace, you make them feel good because you allow them to experience the joy of being able to help another.
- Bank errors. When my friend was in her 20s and struggling financially, she received a gift of $200 from a relative who wanted her to be able to buy a television set. She put the money in her checking account, went to the store to look at televisions, then withdrew the money from an automatic teller machine and bought the TV she'd decided on. However, the withdrawal never showed up on her account. She went in and talked to the people at the bank, who told her that without her withdrawal slip, which she'd lost, there was nothing they could do to correct the error. She had to accept their unintended gift of an extra $200!
