I Can't Afford It
Posted by Ken Lauher

I've always held a different concept about my ability to create the necessary financing for anything I've wanted or needed. As you're probably aware, my background is foster homes, scarcities, economic depression, and having to work for everything I've ever had from the age of nine with my first paper route; yet I've never allowed myself to use this excuse.
Let's examine this very common meme to see if it's true. Can you be 100 percent certain that you're unable to afford whatever it is that you would like to accomplish or purchase? It there's any doubt in your mind, no matter how unlikely prosperity may seem to you now, then you must reject this excuse. The opposite of I can't afford it is I can afford it, even if I don't know at the moment how I can make it all come true financially.
Once again, the importance of this question regarding your ability to raise money becomes evident. If the thought I can afford it is true or false, and the same can be said of I can't afford it, then why opt for the idea that's almost guaranteed to keep you from reaching your goal?
Perhaps you're convinced that you're in a position of being insolvent and unable to attract the financing for your dreams. One of the basic tents of an Excuses Begone! mentality is that you get what you think about, whether you want it or not. Therefore, thinking about a dearth of cash aligns you with the concept of shortage and lack.
The more you focus on what you don't have and can't get, the more you provide the universe with opportunities to offer up experiences that reflect those beliefs. By claiming that you can't afford something, you confirm this expectation (which, by the way, is just as likely to be untrue as it is to be true). The belief itself becomes the source of what you attract - it serves as an obstacle to a universe of unlimited abundance.
I'm sorry to tell you that there's no solution for scarcity focused thought processes. Rather, you have to outgrow this kind of immature thinking by reminding yourself that it makes much more sense to assert that you're prosperous instead of focusing on I can't afford it.
Attract the universal guidance that will help rather than the kind that hinders. Right here, right now, state: "I can never absolutely certain that the financing I need or desire is not on its ways. Thus, the belief I can't afford it is false, and I refuse to let myself use this excuse."
This is not about helping you manifest more money, although that's certainly a possibility. It's about helping you eliminate the excuse of I can't afford it from your life, because using it keeps you aligned with lack, shortages, and pain. Loving what you have and being in a continuous state of contentment is the key to having what you want.
Also, be willing to contemplate that whatever assistance you need is on its way, even when you can't predict where it's coming from. This helps you live in alignment with the laws of the universe. Since this is a universe of unlimited abundance, why have thoughts contrary to that truth?
I've always said that what I need financially is not only on its way, but will arrive on time and is always for my highest good.
In fact, it already exists - all I have to do is connect myself to it. Call me crazy if you will, but this kind of thinking has served me unfailingly. The falsity of I can't afford it is even more pronounced now in my 60s as I stay unattached to what comes my way and offer it to others in as generous a fashion as I can.
This doesn't mean that I simply open the windows and money flies in; rather, it allows me to act on thoughts that have no room for scarcity. I act on what I believe, and I refuse to believe that money is a reason not to do anything.
Throughout my life, I've been surprised on many occasions when financing for a project of mine just seemed to manifest out of nowhere. When I was a young sailor who desperately wanted to attend college after my enlistment, for instance, the funding wasn't immediately available.
Nevertheless, I acted upon my strong intention to attend a major university by putting 90 percent of my savings into a special bank account on Guam. Upon my honorable discharge from a four-year tour of duty, I had enough money in the bank to pay for my four years of college.
The point is that making the choice to take advantage of thinking I can afford it allows the follow two things to happen: (1) universal cooperation is activated by aligning with a universe that has no limits or shortages; and (2) you begin to act on what you're thinking about.
