And that includes emotional survival.<\/p>\n<p>Our brains have evolved to let us know to flee from danger. Our minds have evolved to do whatever it takes for survival.<\/p>\n<p>So if being broke is who you are, like, as an identity?<\/p>\n<p>Because you get an emotional payoff in your life?<\/p>\n<p>Because you can say \u201cWell I may not have a lot of money but at least I\u2019m spiritual\u201d, or \u201cI may not have a lot of money but at least I love my family\u201d?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well, you have programmed yourself that the only way you can love your family or have a great spiritual life is if you are struggling to make ends meet. <\/strong> You can repel money away from you faster than you can ever imagine. I did it. I did it for years. This is how people destroy their lives. Every leader I know at <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/about\/\">Empower Network<\/a>, every millionaire I know, will say this\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cIf you don\u2019t clean up the head stuff, it doesn\u2019t matter what you are doing externally, you can\u2019t get the money\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So the invitation I have for you tonight is to get engaged in the kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/blog\/category\/mindset\/\">personal development<\/a> \u2013 this is what we teach at <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/what-happened-to-empower-network\/\">Empower Network<\/a> \u2013 we teach you how to make friends with money. It\u2019s part of what we do here.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you, this is a breath of fresh air. You already know that you are not hearing this anywhere else. You didn\u2019t hear it in class, in school, you are not hearing it behind the pulpit, you are not hearing it in the news, we have got to get that cleared up. And that\u2019s a part of what we are teaching here at Empower Network.<\/p>\n<p>Let me share this with you too, because I don\u2019t want you to have assumptions about this. This is not the kind of community that will tell you about prosperity consciousness \u2013 some companies would even teach you to buy expensive cars and get into debt so you can show it off to others.
