Notes from Creating Money

After I quit my 9 to 5 job, I read the book Creating Money by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer. Here are the parts I highlighted in that book:

You will be reprogramming your subconscious mind to accept these thoughts as reality, and as it does it will create changes in your life to match this new inner reality.

Situations and objects will come into your life simultaneously with your need for them.

[...] we want you to recognize that you do not have to stay in jobs that do not serve you.

The man-made laws of money include financial planning, time management, cash flow management, marketing, taxes, and business planning.

You can create money with the spiritual laws alone.

Let your prosperity be based on the amount of good you contribute to the world.

Beliefs in scarcity help create your wars and the taking of more than is needed from the earth.

You are the source of your riches, not your job, your investments, your spouse, or your parents.

If you think what you want is too far away or hard to get, your intent is not clear.

If you think that having more money will give you inner peace, allowing the quality of inner peace into your life is your key to becoming magnetic to more money.

The universe doesn't say you can have what is good for you only after you make a million dollars.

Security does not come from accumulating wealth.

If you have a feeling of security within, you will be able to create a life that reflects that feeling.

A million dollars might not seem real to you, particularly if you have trouble imagining yourself paying your rent easily and on time each month.

You can magnetize out of neediness, but it dilutes your effectiveness.

When you are focused upon serving or assisting people you are very magnetic.

When you get an idea, don't over-analyze it, asking "Is this idea going to create my new path, be profitable, or support me for the rest of my life?"

If you do what is joyful, you may find that all the jobs you are forcing yourself to do to make money are no longer necessary. You will also discover that you make more money in the long run by doing what you love than by doing things you don't love.

True success is having the right amount of money, transforming an old habit or negative belief, releasing a fear, doing things you love, and developing and recognizing your special talents.

You may be acting as if you are waiting for some invisible "parent" or ouside authority to decide whether or not you can have what you want.

Beliefs are assumptions about the nature of reality, and because you create what you believe in, you will have many "proofs" that reality operates the way you think it does.

[...] a person who believes that money comes only from working hard will receive money only from hard work.

In some way those beliefs were perfect for you to have earlier in your life, leading you to the appropriate lessons and growth you needed to achieve more of your potential.

When money is not flowing it may be time to start new activities that you have been wanting to do.

Act as if you have the money for whatever you want.

Trust is the link between the mental world and the physical world.

If you feel you can't live without something, that your well-being is dependent upon your having it, you actually repel what you desire.

The degree to which you are open and loving is the degree to which miracles will come your way.

As you treat others with love and compassion, you draw to yourself opportunities, money, people, miracles, and even more love.

When you are determined to have something only through a certain source, you cut off all other ways it can come to you.

Even if it doesn't appear that there will be more money in doing what you love, trust your heart and follow your higher path, for there will eventually be much more money and abundance from following this path than any other.

Your life's work may not yet exist as a job you can find. It may be a job you will create.

A job you previously enjoyed may now be routine or something you do because you need the money, not because you love it.

You don't need to totally change your life; you can create your life's work gradually, one step at a time.

You can design your future by being alert and aware of opportunities, knowing when to take action and when not to.

Begin now to affirm that you will be in the right place at the right time. Keep that thought in mind, and trust that your feelings of joy or resistance are helping you create this as a truth.

Some of you accept money only for doing jobs you don't like, and feel guilty asking for money for your special talents and services.

It is often threatening to people close to you when you choose to grow or change. They fear a loss of your love.

If you have well-meaning friends who tell you that something is hard to do or can't be done, realize that they are only showing you your own doubts, mirroring them back to you so you may become more aware of them and let them go.

If you keep telling yourself why you can't have what you want, you won't have it.

When you are no longer enjoying what you are doing, it is a sign that something new is needed. If this is so, developing the new will bring you more abundance than holding on to the old.

If it is time to make changes but you are reluctant to let go of the old, your soul will help you by creating circumstances in which the old no longer works.

You can decide how much discontent and dissatisfaction motivates you to act on your inner messages.

I let go easily, trusting that nothing leaves my life unless something better is coming.

Ask yourself if the process of studying and learning sounds joyful.

Remember that the more money circulates, the wealthier everyone is, just as the more times inventory turns over, the more prosperous a store becomes.

Every time you send out your money with joy and love, you open another way for the universe to send you money.

Buy one good outfit that you feel wonderful wearing, rather than several less expensive ones that you don't really like.

People feel good about themselves when they give you something that you can use and appreciate.

Imagine ten times the amount of money someone gives you coming back to them every time you receive money.

Affirm that you will receive money from whatever source the universe uses to give it to you, and the universe will find more ways to give you money.

People create lack in their lives to learn certain lessons.

Money comes when you put your attention into what you are giving to the world rather than thinking only of the money your work will bring you.

The greatest gift you give others is the example of your own life working.

You often defend most vigorously those beliefs and values you aren't really sure about, for when you are clear about your beliefs you rarely feel the need to defend them.

As society begins to believe that there can be abundance for everyone, new discoveries will be made that will provide unlimited energy and resources that do not pollute or deplete the earth, and there will be fewer reasons for war.

It is not more spiritual to be poor, nor is it better to be rich.

What is important is having enough money to do the work you came to do, and not having so much that it keeps you from the work you came to do.

There is an unlimited supply of success.

Those who do not make money or experience abundance are usually those who think they have to work at jobs they don't like until they have enough money saved to do work they like.

Creating abundance will require that you let go of any remaining beliefs that money and objects are hard to create, because they aren't.
