Don’t turn down the silver bar being offered to you!!!!
I came across this post on Instagram today and sent it to my students. One of them replied to the text, expressing surprise that the people in the video didn’t even recognize the silver bar for what it was. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVxp5y-jcfK/?igsh=dHM2dzVxd211YmV5 The thing is, the silver bar does not register in their paradigm. They don't even recognize it. They don’t recognize it because they are unaware. They lack familiarity with the object and they are blind to its value. This is an excellent example of how awareness plays a vital role in the abundance we allow ourselves to experience. We can only see that which our paradigm allows. In this real life example, we watch people turn down a small fortune without even knowing it. One woman even says she’ll take the chocolate because she’s had a bad day. This is a perfect example of how our paradigms, the neural pathways we’ve developed and the messaging that we’re taught informs our responses. Think about everything we miss that is right in front of us simply because our paradigm, our frequency, our conscious reality doesn't recognize it. So what can we do? We can force ourselves to grow, to improve, to learn, so we can recognize new opportunities and the gifts which life is literally trying to give away. When we commit to personal growth, study, character development, skill improvement, increased conscious awareness, etc. we open our minds and expand our consciousness to recognize and receive more in our lives. We ALL turn away from these opportunities everyday without knowing it. The lesson here for me is to tune in to higher versions of self and the “more” will appear as if it’s always been there.
