Soul Suckers and Quick Fixes
If you want to get out of the soul-sucking trappings of your
old beliefs, you have to begin seeing yourself as someone who is deserving for
good, for financial blessings, and for true love.
I remember when I was going out on the road a lot as a professional
promo-robot. (Yes, Bo, what haven’t you done?) Our stage manager sometimes used
to have to fix my heavy, large mechanical costume on the fly. She called it Jerry Rigging. I’m not sure what kind
of negative ramifications that term has, but I’m sure it is connected with
something prejudice. However, the term means to fix something crudely, for the
benefit of needing its use quickly.
We all know that if you pay to get something fixed with bad
or old parts or with a less-than-able mechanic, you are liable to have the machine
break down again sooner. But often we take that chance because we don’t have
the money to have the job done correctly and with new parts. I have made this
choice a few times. Much to my dismay, I ended up having to replace an engine in
a BMW 730 about 15 years ago. Getting the car fixed cost me as much as four
house payments. I wasn’t happy. But this bad venture still didn’t keep me from
being frugal again in the near future.
I bought a manufacture-repaired carpet cleaner at Big Lot. I
used the cleaner to do all the carpets in the house once, and bam—it was
broken. Fortunately, it had a 3-month warrantee on it. I took it back. They
asked me if I wanted to replace it with another one. I figured with a
three-month warrantee and me only doing the carpets once every six months, I
would be out another sweeper if I didn’t get my money back now. So, I did.
We never spend our money or time wisely when we settle for second
rate anything. My friend Sharon is single and often goes out with men just to
have a date for the weekend. Most times she comes to me afterwards and says,
“Bo, why do I keep doing this to myself?”
She does it for the
same reason I spent less on a second-rate item: because I think I have less, so
I settle for less.
Listen! If you have been brought up in a poor household like
me, then you know what it is like to have soup for four days in a row before
payday. I can’t even look at barley soup to this day without thinking about diarrhea.
The soup filled me up, but also made me sick. Had I continued to eat like that,
I would have probably gotten overweight as well.
I notice that I certain type of person exists who inherently
looks for people like me, to sell to, to date, or to try to win me over to a
new marketing sales opportunity. I have learned my lesson on all three. For me
to be fortunate, find secure love, and not to have my soul sucked from vipers
and bottom feeders, I have to start looking at myself as a winner.
What is your ultimate truth about yourself and your world?
If you know what kind of truth is stamped on your subconscious mind, you’ll probably
understand why you spend your life either rich or poor. I have know very rich
people who have lost everything, only to find themselves back on top in a
couple of years again. Why? Because they recognize that they are inherently
rich, and no one can take that mantel from them.
People who have had money all their lives, even if it has
been from rich parents, don’t usually end up poor. They end finding other ways
to produce the income it takes to have a life of prosperity.
People who have grown up in households with secure parenting
and loving and compassionate caregivers, usually end up being securely attached
as adults. Anxiously or Avoidantly Attached adults find it hard to attract this
secure type of person because we don’t share their outlook. The securely
attached person is going to be looking for someone of the same ilk and mental
vision as him/her.
Let this be your affirmation for the day: “I am made in the
image and likeness of my heavenly parent. My spiritual parent gives me all
good, infinite wisdom, and divine healing daily. Because I have been born into
this heavenly kingdom as a child of God, I have a birthright that allows me to
always be living in my spiritual truth, which includes prosperity, wisdom, and
secure love. I claim this for myself and for those around me NOW! And so it
is.”
