Are You a Pigeon or a Lorikeet ?
Wealth vs Poverty Mindset
Every day, I have a pair of the sweetest Rainbow Lorikeets visit my bedroom windowsill. They’ve become so confident about requesting their daily feed of sunflower seeds, that they will sit on the window sill shrieking until they get my attention from whichever room, I’m in. And if the window is closed, they’ll tap on the glass loudly with their fairly large beaks until my daughter or I notice.
The Lorikeets arrive knowing what they want, and they’re not afraid to ask for it. And because of the charming little whistles and clicks that follow once they receive their loot, I happily handover what they ask for. They visit just once a day, and are always very calm, sure of themselves, and quite chatty. They like to eat alongside one another at a leisurely pace, casually calling out to other birds as they pass by–they really own it.
This little daily ritual has however, caught the attention of a flock of local pigeons. When the pigeons arrive, the energy is frenetic. They’re very jumpy, anxiously darting their heads and eyes up, down and side to side. They peck at their seeds at lightning speed, as if it’s the last meal they’ll ever have. And even though there is plenty of seed across the sill for the pigeons, they squabble, peck at each other and this is usually followed by much wing flapping, which of course, sweeps away all the seeds they’re so desperately trying to get. They visit my window throughout the day, in the hope of finding more seed, and it’s generally an all-around unpleasant experience for them, and for me (and I spend a lot of time wondering whether to stop feeding the pigeons or not.)
Anyway, the analogy I’m trying to make is this. When we are calm, confident and focused, when we know what we want, and believe that we deserve it, and can actually picture ourselves getting it, this translates into positive action. And when we mix this with a learnt blind faith in ourselves, determination, and a plan, we start to take the necessary first steps toward our goal, which turn into bigger steps, and then into the necessary leaps which helps us accomplish incredible things. This is the space of creativity and abundance; this is when you are in your flow.
But, when we are fearful, frantic, wide eyed, grasping and in a space of total lack, just like the pigeon, that’s exactly what we get more of–we attract more lack and start brushing away the goal or loot with all our flapping.
And look, I get it, you’ve got hurdles. You hate your job, or you’ve lost your job. You’re struggling to get clients or have been on the receiving end of major failure. Your partners just left you, or unexpected bills and expenses seem to come out nowhere. You’ve got so much going on, you’re just trying to hold it together, never mind trying to be “positive”–come on! You believe that if you could just get over that hurdle, then everything would be ok, then you could be all Zen and attract all the “good vibes”.
I’m afraid to tell you that as hard as it is to get our heads around, it’s not the way that things work. If you want to attract wealth & success, your state of mind needs to be on the vibration of wealth &success. It needs to be a conscious effort on your part. If you’re really struggling, you need to create some space every day, where you increase your vibration. Go to my Resources page and download the free Radical Transformation Manifesting Formula. Start with 10minutesandwork your way up to 30. Create a daily ritual that sets your intention and mindset for the day and the following year of wealth & success. Start visualising yourself with gratitude, within your goal, so that you can get on that abundant vibration which is so necessary–and then wonderful things will happen.
Remember, it takes a mixture of imagination, gratitude, faith, a plan, and action steps. Now if you’ve got all of these in place, but you’re still not achieving the goals you want to achieve, there are probably some old, embedded wealth & success blocks which need to be addressed with a clearing by a professional coach, head to my Programs page to see how this works, and if it’s for you.
Enough with being the pigeon, it’s time to be a radiant Rainbow Lorikeet.
