Your Bad Habits Are Useful To Making More Money

 Your Bad Habits Are Useful To Making More Money

I was journaling today and it dawned on me how useful your bad habits are to making more money.


Some of my amazing friends and connections agreed to be experts in a new book that I’m writing about how to MIX spirituality and real life to make MILLIONS.  


What was spoken over and over again was that the process of living and making money are one in the same. Not that you can do anything tangible with that thought right? 


Here is some advice that you can get real results with. 

What Hale Dwoskins from the Sedona Method said stuck out to me like a sour thumb.  He said welcome in all your thoughts good or bad.  



It’s the resistance to bad that has you attract more of what you don’t want in your life.  The reason why is because whatever you focus on grows. 


Millionaires know this fact intamately. That’s why it’s hard to get face time with someone who’s on purpose unless you are moving in the same direction. They know that TIME is the most valuable asset they have so unless you are in alignment with what’s important to them you’ll rarely get their attention.


Neutralizing your thoughts according to Hale is the key to your dreams.  


All your actions first start with a thought.  If you are focused on what you shouldn’t be doing then you cause stress and drag on accomplishing what you do want to be happening.



As human beings we often want to resist the thought of not making enough money or that we might get cancer.  We never want to accept those types of thoughts into our consciousness.  


However what we’ve discovered through our research is that making money can be easier if you have bad habits.  


Do you want to know why your personal help books aren’t getting you the results you want?  Here’s why, it’s not that the content is off it is how you are digesting the content that is causing you pain.


  • You see if you have a belief that quitting smoking is hard then so be it.
  • Does food have your power and every time you feel stressed or excited you emotionally eat… Even when you have a commitment to yourself to be good?
  • Are you cheating in a relationship with your spouse and it’s eating you up?


These are temptations that can lead you to extraordinary results.  Follow me here and read every word until the end. 



When you are tempted to engage in destructive habit is that a doorway to joy?   Even though you feel guilty for doing it.  You know that behaving in this way is killing your self worth and you feel guilty every time you do it but you can’t seem to stop.You’ve done a lot of personal development work and you give credit to how far you’ve come however why are you still st



What if… it’s a doorway to more joy and abundance?


What if your habit is a way your spirit is leading you to a new adventure in your life?


What if you just went the other way from temptation?  I wonder what will show up for you.


Would your confidence grow in yourself that you would commit to playing bigger.


Maybe your business would reach a million dollars in revenue because you stopped holding back


My observation as every coaches advice, spiritual guru, and your own life experience merges together is that all our EMERGING dreams are in the opposite direction of our temptations.


  • Put down the cheesecake and you will loose weight.
  • Don’t smoke when you feel the calling and you will have more energy and vitality.
  • Do what your lover wants to do today and you will experience a new perspective on life.
  • Choose to work for a labour of love and explore self realizations on steroids.


The truth as I know it is that we are here to have FUN.  That’s it and SO BE IT!

Love this quote:

“If you are focused on what you shouldn’t be doing then you cause stress and drag on accomplishing what you do want to be happening.”

It’s so true, we can spend so much time on the negatives that it can cause unnecessary stress and failure to realise your potential.

Thank you for posting, very thought provoking.

I love this…
“It’s the resistance to bad that has you attract more of what you don’t want in your life. The reason why is because whatever you focus on grows.”

…and this…
“…all our EMERGING dreams are in the opposite direction of our temptations.”

I wonder what’s in the opposite direction of all those Mocha Frappes? Actually, I already know. I was able to go the opposite direction for 2 months straight, but I think this statement above can help me stick with it more consistently!
