    100% agree! I quit my job three and a half years ago, cashed out my 401k and had a ball for a year. A small voice in my head, and my parents, said I was crazy. But in my heart I knew I was on my way to financial abundance. Now I'm earning more than double what I was at that job and almost saved up what I cashed out of my 401k.

      "The Universe" is just space, dust, vacuum, and rock. If you mean the Creator/Maker/God, He isn't so much concerned with our outward possessions and richness but much more with the inner wealth - possessing His Spirit by repentance and trusting Him for salvation. Any "cosmic" message opposite from this is not of God :D

    It’s not even hard. I completely changed my life by doing two things: stopped praying ‘please Universe ...’ and started praying ‘Thank u Universe ...’. Also I wrote on a card that I put by my mirror and said aloud at least once a day, with feeling:
    I am so grateful that I have attracted true love, SO much money and a beautiful home to live in.
    I have all that now - and so much more, the best is the true love for mySelf. It never hurts to say I LOVE YOU to urself every time u look in the mirror. 💚💜

    Yup. I used to congratulate myself on being “so good with money” when really I was handling it like C4 instead of like a friend. I was terrified of being broke again like I was in college, and that fear and overcautiousness kept me in a dead end job for 15 years. So scarcity mentality affects more than just how you spend money itself- it affects major life decisions. Pursuing a new career has taken a lot of meditation and inner work about the damnedest things!😂

I used to have a scarcity mentality so much that I didn’t think it was necessary to tithe (I’m Christian) but when I realized that my power, my finances and all that is, comes from a higher power, I learned to let go. I learned what you give always comes back multiplied. The more faith you have in the Lord the smarter wiser and awake you become. It’s beautiful. You’re such a beautiful soul. That’s why you’re so talented and you will continue to grow as your share your knowledge and gifts with the world.

Some people are still "small" thinking. And the more you develop, the more you find yourself quitting people that does not relate. The good news is that at the same time, you make space for other people who are like-minded to enter your life. Thank you for sharing. I Bless you with Divine Love and Abundance.💖💋

    Alicia, your book passage touched my soul. I have been reframing my thoughts because I own a small business. In the past, I have been given erroneous messages about money. Believing that to accumulate it is to be soulless, selfish, and greedy. Boy, was I wrong! As I continue to grow my business. I have changed my perspective. When we do not exercise the gift of abundance, we will surely become poor. To be poor is the lack of having something, not necessarily money. There are many rich people who are poor and there are many poor people who are rich. I have realized that to have abundance starts with a change of mindset as step 1. Once you realize that you have accumulated wealth in other ways. Then, step 2 happens, you find financial freedom.

      Did you know that buying expensive clothes is actually the most cost efficient way to live in the long run? Having a wardrobe of a few well-made pieces that go together means having clothes that will last you many years, instead of just a season. It also means that if you get bored of something, you can sell it and use that money to buy a replacement item instead of just throwing it in the trash or the goodwill pile. A good wardrobe pays for itself and is environmentally friendly. Of course, it takes awhile to build up a wardrobe of expensive items if you don't have much to spend on clothes in the first place. I began my journey of abundance mindset with clothes a few months back. I bought an expensive, well-made pair of pants because I said ya know what? the now me is worth it and so is the future me. I'm gonna buy another well-made piece in a few months when I can afford it :)

      @@Pielobyte I totally agree. I primarily shop at Thrifts, especially thrifts in “upscale neighborhoods” here in NYC. I’ve left the store with bags full of brand named items (some with original tags) for very, very cheap. I bought many professional clothing items that are “classy” and expensive, for a small fraction of the original price. Where ever you are.... find out where the “rich people” donate their clothing (and other items) and shop there. Lol. That’s not scarcity mindset. That’s being smart. Let your money work for you. Also, always use cash back apps, such as Rakutan, etc. which allows you to very easily earn cash back on both online and in store purchases at thousands of businesses. My income has risen significantly since I began shopping this way, but I still do it (shop wisely) because it makes sense. Thrifting is a very wise and fun way to shop and save. When I do go to the mall, etc.... I shop the clearance section AND use coupons/cash back app. Sometimes I use the cash back for small indulgences or donate to charities. Using money wisely should be fun.

    Abundance versus scarcity is an important shift, but we need to lose the attachment of self- worth to material things and stop equating value with money. Ambundance is truth. And quoting the law of attraction took a turn... focusing on commodifying your worth, expands the idea that your worth can translate to a commodity. The instinct to put it all back was correct. Overpriced items are not intelligent regardless of your net worth, and your instincts were correct. Value for what you get.. quality, not brand, is worth paying for. Your music is high quality and so is your writing. You are a beautiful soul and thank you for sharing your wisdom and abundant gifts. Peace.

    Hey Alicia. You're right, it is deep. This is my biggest struggle thus far and I've fallen so many times. I definitely agree with you in terms of the mindset shift of thoughts switching over to abundance! I think the challenge for me is the constant reprogramming and recognizing the knowing that 'I am worthy'. It's easy to say all the things, positively etc but differentiating the negative from positive smoothly each time and arriving at this belief that you are capable has been like a dangling carrot 😳😕 It easier said than done.

    You one hundred percent right, in having a tight fist because your thoughts are limited, and your minds bring scary thoughts of being scared of tomorrow. I met some rich people who were broke, and built back up to success. All because of their mind never was broke, just their pockets. Where I remember I used to take my money, when I felt it was pushing me too fast. Too fast in taking me out of my character. That I used to say to my money,to not forget how you got in my pocket, you did not make me, I made you. Therefore, when things came along I did not like what we were taking place. I show my money who still was in control, if you know what I mean, when you walk away from everything. See first we have to get the proper respect about life matter in order to build a life, which is not a broken economy. That at any time l coming one fantasy Island can crash without them knowing it was there for one to lose. We the American People live in the blind, while changes right in our fight we go on ignoring. That's the part I wish I was able to keep, but being curious stole that away from me.

    Alicia has explained in a well rounded summary of how our mindsets and fears which can be shaped by our circumstances or even parents can hold us back from reaching our full potential . This applies not only fo our money matters but also other areas of our lives . Alicia through her own experiences is giving us sound advice - that we should not always deny ourselves the things and pleasures in life , especially if we have earned our rewards , while at the same time we should not live recklessly and waste all our monies . Its important that we should always have some measure of self control and know when to enjoy our money ( indulge ourselves ) and when to curb ouselves .The take-away for me is that the more we give the more we received which applies to all areas of our lives. Not only does she have a beautiful voice when she sings , but also a beautiful voice when she speaks , coupled with a beautiful personality. She is a beautiful human being.

Before she passed away, she gave me her blessings. As harsh as it may sound, it’s like the passing of her helped open up my life for more to come. Though she never supported majority of what I did in my career, she did towards the end and told me to never feel bad for buying things that made me happy and I deserved it because I worked so hard for it all.

    I love you Alicia Keys. I feel connected to you from the Deepak meditations. You're helping me connect to divine feminine. I appreciate your perspective here. Om kriam namah. Om shanti.
    Prosperity mindset and a short story: While my father was adamant of paying tithes in church, there still seemed to be a scarity mindset within dynamics. BUT my dad would argue with mom. "Ginny we are paying tithes," because that was his belief. Reaping and sowing, regardless what the bank looked like (mom feared), my father had a knowing that we were provided for and we were. We never went without (it didn't seem like it to me).
    Daddy was sick with cancer, then in chronic pain for years before his suicide. For 4 years... my mom worked, I worked during school breaks because I was preparing for college and they both wanted that for me. Studies and the value of learning to work for us was important perspective (actually? I did medical transcriptions from a younger age). Parents grew up poor. Dad the 4th oldest among 10 siblings.
    "Angel, they jockey for position because it's what they learned. It had been - don't be last at the table or you don't eat. Fight for attention."
    After family gatherings where I left in tears as a child,
    "Honey, they don't know and it's not you."
    I believe he knew how I felt. His father asked him, "why can't you just be like your older brothers?"
    I was introduced to Deepak's 21 days abundance challenge last year and I appreciate this reminder. As I am making changes in my life, I needed to hear this.
    I believe that the universe is abundant and provides from that ocean. I didn't always know. Dr. Chopra taught me. I am that. Aham. Thank you and namaste.

I feel alive now. Living in abundance, embodying abundance, to me, is what life is about ... Freeing oneself from the shackles of our perceived lacks, not underestimating oneself anymore, giving oneself the space to IMAGINE without limits and actually believing that if we can imagine it, there is no way we cannot live it.

    Love that you can be deep. I honestly haven't come across people in my life that can have deep conversations. It's refreshing to hear ❤️

    Thank you so much for sharing a part of your experiences with us I think from all of our own experiences that we have from our past definitely keep us blocked from things that are very achievable and there for us. Definitely the biggest blocker is fear and not having enough or not ever having love or that were worthy to even have those things so thank you so much appreciate you 💖💖💖

    From a Conscious Life Design Systems practitioner of 31+ years, I totally agree: we are capable of designing the lives we want out of the substance of our consciousness. Thanks Alicia for this tune-up session on abundance.
