The 6 Archetypes That Keep You From Being Wealthy
- Victim
- Beggar
- Slave
- Monk
- Amateur
- Glutton
Recently I received an email from someone I have never met wanting me to give her money so she could give a Ted talk to promote her work.
She told me she was a long-term sufferer of a chronic illness.
She had read an article I had written about a mudra for abundance from my book The Little Book of Breathwork and decided that since I had been writing about money I must be someone who hands it out for free.
I wrote her back declining.
Although I am a big fan of supporting the Atlanta Community Food Bank, which has experienced a 300 percent increase in demand during the pandemic and relies on solicitations to support the needy, I don’t believe begging is the best way to promote a for-profit business.
I wrote back that if she wants to attract true abundance she needed to stop coming from the Beggar and Victim archetypes.
What are archetypes?
Archetypes are unfortunate aspects of your ego self that get in the way of you expressing your true self.
