It’s funny: the moment we talk business, nondual enthusiasts become so tentative. I wonder why. They claim certain things are not done while insisting other things must be followed no matter what. These ideas are just based in beliefs. Can we let go of them, without even trying?

The makeable worldview suggests that limiting beliefs about financial matters should be replaced, such as:

• ‘I shouldn’t earn too much’ vs. ‘It’s totally fine to earn a good amount.’
• ‘I should be careful not to ask too much for my services’ vs. ‘My services are invaluable.’
• ‘A focus on money is distracts me from the purity of my desire’ vs. ‘It’s totally fine to include money in my focus.’
• ‘The moment I put money into the equation, I harm my pure desire’ vs. ‘Earning money and living my purpose can coexist beautifully.’

Can we completely skip the process of replacing existing beliefs with new or better ones? Can we choose not to be led by opposing standpoints at all? What would that look like? In this scenario, you wouldn’t have so-called limiting or empowering beliefs. You would take both your “positive” and “negative” beliefs with a grain of salt. This way, they won’t stay static and limiting. Your beliefs become alive.

But, if you have the choice, why not create and stick to empowering beliefs?

Firstly, who is there to choose? Secondly, you still remain at the dual level. Once you only focus on helpful beliefs, new limiting beliefs will automatically emerge, or you’ll end up fighting against your empowering ones. It doesn’t matter if your belief is limiting or empowering. Both invite conflict. It is the conflict that distracts you, not the limiting belief!

Instead of identifying and replacing all your beliefs about building a financially healthy business with empowering ones, let’s keep an open perspective. The need to constantly modify beliefs is the only distraction. You’re feeding into the belief that things are makeable, which distracts you from what’s actually happening.

Does this mean there’s nothing to be done? Of course not! You can take various actions, even regarding your beliefs. But it’s not a prerequisite for making your business healthy. It’s just something that happens naturally. You notice it and surrender to it. That’s all. Beautiful, isn’t it?
