He’ll share his personal stories as well as what he has learned over the years dealing with his own money issues.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
It has been said that money only makes you more of who you already are, and nothing could be truer. Our relationship with money is a very fundamental one, and one that really shows how we feel about ourselves.
In order to change our relationship to money, we really need to look at the stories we make about money, and about ourselves. For this reveals a core relationship, which in the end, is not about money at all.
Tune in and share your own thoughts on our YouTube livestream. How is your relationship with money? What do you think your experiences with money say about you? Join in and share your questions and your stories with us!

Sam kicks things off by diving into a thought-provoking topic: how to transform our relationship with money and why it holds such immense importance. To set the stage, Sam treats us to a captivating excerpt from his book, Everyday Awakening. The passage, titled "Freedom lies, not in the external world, but in our internal limitlessness," explores the idea that true freedom stems from letting go of the notion of physical mobility and instead embracing the power of choice. His book is available at www.everydayawakeningbook.com .Get ready for another fantastic episode this week with just you and Sam on the show!
Within the spiritual community, money is often perceived negatively, but Sam brings forth a new outlook. He sees money as a potent tool capable of amplifying our authentic selves. By exploring our association with money, we uncover profound insights into our alignment with core values. Sam embraces his own past mistakes concerning money, acknowledging the lessons they have taught him. What do our interactions with money reveal about our inner selves?
Money mirrors our inner selves, reflecting how we truly perceive our worth. In Sam's earlier years, his self-esteem was minimal, leading him to allocate all his money towards assisting and uplifting his friends. Prioritizing his own needs proved challenging due to his upbringing. Our money habits are acquired and intertwined with our self-relationship. At the core, every action we take regarding money unveils the depth of our self-value. To cultivate a healthier financial outlook, we must embark on a journey of self healing.
During the live show, Sam thoughtfully addresses Patty Bran's comment, highlighting the importance of practicing self-care to transform our relationship with money. He underscores the need for regular reminders of our inherent worthiness. As we commit to personal growth, abundance naturally flows into our lives. The world is abundant with resources, and scarcity exists solely within the confines of our own limited imagination. By prioritizing self-care, we extend our care to the planet, fostering a harmonious cycle that benefits both ourselves and the world we inhabit.

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:35.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: today is one of those special shows. I actually haven't done one of these in a while. It's just me and you
00:00:36.760 --> 00:01:01.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: no guest, I have a topic I'll ramble on about for the hour. But this is your opportunity to interact with me through the live streams. whether on Youtube. But youtube.com slash talking alternative, or on facebook@facebook.com slash top radio, Nyc or on my private channel. I'll be keeping my eye out if you see me looking this way or that way
00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:13.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because I'm looking at the different platform, seeing if you have any questions. If you have any comments, just me and you. And we're going to be talking about a very, very
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:18.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: important and spiritual topic today. And that is about money.
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:30.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes, money is a very spiritual topic, and I'll explain why in a moment. But first, of course, we have, as always, our section from my book.
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:47.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Everyday Awakening, and you know we're getting pretty far through the book. You have to let me know how you'd like me to open up the show after I finish getting through all my sections of the book. because we're going to run out before the end of the year. All right. So today's
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: section of everyday awakening is entitled
00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:57.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: freedom lies not in the external world.
00:01:57.590 --> 00:02:02.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but in our internal limitlessness.
00:02:03.550 --> 00:02:07.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Being free with ourselves, feels good.
00:02:07.750 --> 00:02:14.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It may not be natural in our society, yet it is still an inherent desire
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:19.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as to be free with ourselves is to be free from fear.
00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:26.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: free from concerns, free from worry about what others will think.
00:02:26.890 --> 00:02:37.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Being free is not about living in a free country or an open society. but about being free from our own internal bonds.
00:02:38.290 --> 00:02:43.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's about being free from our preconceptions and our biases.
00:02:43.890 --> 00:02:48.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and free from our assumptions and our nightmares.
00:02:48.850 --> 00:02:52.269 there are levels and degrees of freedom.
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:59.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To have an absolutely free spirit is to allow our heart and soul to shine.
00:03:00.310 --> 00:03:04.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: regardless of what anyone else thinks.
00:03:04.890 --> 00:03:08.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: regardless of what anyone else does.
00:03:08.910 --> 00:03:13.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: regardless of what anyone else says.
00:03:14.820 --> 00:03:16.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be free
00:03:16.610 --> 00:03:27.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to this degree at the highest level, means to be so free on the inside that what is going on outside of us
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:34.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is of little consequence. It means we have a free mind. heart.
00:03:35.220 --> 00:03:37.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: body, and soul.
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:43.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It does not have to mean that we are free to do what we want.
00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:49.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet it does mean that we are free to think and feel what we want.
00:03:49.700 --> 00:04:02.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are free to choose the meaning we make in any given circumstance. We are free to feel what we choose to feel about ourselves and the world.
00:04:03.440 --> 00:04:11.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: No one can take that freedom away from us. knowing can take the desire for freedom away from us.
00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:15.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: knowing can take our free will away from us.
00:04:17.110 --> 00:04:20.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: External choices may be limited.
00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:30.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Get internal choices are always limitless. In that limitlessness lies our freedom.
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:40.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where can you exercise more internal freedom regardless of the external circumstances?
00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:44.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:53.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this little section, this is probably one of the most recent sections of the book, because this one was written
00:04:53.910 --> 00:04:57.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: probably right around the beginning of the pandemic.
00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:03.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and it was one that I probably rushed to include
00:05:03.700 --> 00:05:13.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it kind of came from a few different things coming together, bubbling up
00:05:14.830 --> 00:05:20.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that that kind of coalesced into this idea of internal freedom.
00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:38.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So the first of which, with the pandemic. We were all so limited and in, and what we could do, and where we could go and and and everyone was talking about. Oh, you're impinging on my freedom. What about my freedom?
00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:41.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:05:42.410 --> 00:05:48.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's kind of like, everyone's so concerned about their freedom
00:05:51.230 --> 00:05:55.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that they forgot that there's also responsibility.
00:05:57.940 --> 00:06:00.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And they also forgot
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that, regardless
00:06:05.780 --> 00:06:13.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of our freedom of movement. of our freedom to do things externally.
00:06:13.690 --> 00:06:17.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that there is always an internal freedom that we have.
00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:24.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that was the first piece of this. and the other piece of this
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:37.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: came from a few different stories, but I think Nelson Mandela's was the one that sort of epitomizes it the most. We're
00:06:38.180 --> 00:06:42.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know the story of how he been incarcerated for decades.
00:06:45.460 --> 00:06:49.400 Yet he was still free inside his heart.
00:06:49.870 --> 00:07:00.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and he still chose, how he was going to act when he came out of that prison cell. and he could have come out of that prison cell with
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:04.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: hate, with vengeance, with with
00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:17.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: cruelty in his heart, towards his captors. But instead, he came out with something completely different. with forgiveness, with the desire to heal the relationships
00:07:18.440 --> 00:07:26.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with the desire to change the world around him. and he knew he couldn't do that
00:07:26.270 --> 00:07:34.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: if he allowed his internal freedom to be limited by how people treated him externally.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And just these 2 kinds of concepts came together in a very powerful way for me
00:07:45.670 --> 00:07:49.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when it really just sank in inside.
00:07:52.380 --> 00:07:53.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that
00:07:54.770 --> 00:08:02.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: no matter what kinds of restrictions are put on us, no matter what kind of society we live in.
00:08:04.970 --> 00:08:08.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it may limit our external choices.
00:08:09.890 --> 00:08:12.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it does not limit
00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:18.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our internal reality. It cannot limit
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:24.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how we choose and decide to show up
00:08:24.340 --> 00:08:30.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to feel, and the meaning we make from our given situation.
00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:37.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there is so much hour in that realization.
00:08:38.190 --> 00:08:45.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I just hope that you can get a little bit of a taste, a little bit of a feel for what I'm talking about.
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:53.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because when we find ourselves in a situation.
00:08:54.190 --> 00:09:03.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that situation could limit our freedom in all kinds of different ways, maybe it's because we're a parent. Maybe it's because of the job we have.
00:09:04.170 --> 00:09:13.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's because we have very low paying jobs. So we have 2 or 3 or 4, you know, part time jobs or or gigs, or we're doing all these different stuff
00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:16.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just to survive.
00:09:17.130 --> 00:09:22.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that can feel like we have very little external, free at home.
00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:29.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: regardless of the external freedom or lack there of.
00:09:30.830 --> 00:09:32.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we still have a choice.
00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:36.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: always, always have a choice
00:09:39.050 --> 00:09:42.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of what does this mean for us.
00:09:43.850 --> 00:09:49.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What's the perspective? We decide to choose to look at this with
00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:56.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the pandemic like highlighted this so acutely.
00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:03.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: where we could have chosen to say, you know what?
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:11.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Th the this is wrong. How can they do this? Why do I have to stay home? Why can I go work? Why can I see people
00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:18.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: all we could have chosen to say. You know what this is, a great opportunity
00:10:19.090 --> 00:10:24.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for me to connect with myself again. to drop all of that
00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:29.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: external needs to focus on what's really important.
00:10:29.950 --> 00:10:32.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it was such an opportunity
00:10:35.250 --> 00:10:36.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to remember
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what it means to be with ourselves.
00:10:44.670 --> 00:10:54.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now, look, I'm not talking about the rightness or wrongness of policies. I'm saying this transcends all of that.
00:10:55.780 --> 00:10:58.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we don't have to agree.
00:10:59.210 --> 00:11:04.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can say we can totally disagree. We can be in descent.
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:13.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but that descent does not have to our our internal world, to the point
00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:30.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: where we become bitter and angry. I mean, anger can be good. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we should never be angry. Anger is a very good indication of when our boundaries are crossed and our standards are broken. Okay? So I'm not saying we should never be angry.
00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:38.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What I am saying is that if we're mindful about it
00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:41.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we're paying attention
00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:43.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we don't
00:11:43.770 --> 00:11:46.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: have to become angry
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:55.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just because our external situation might not be. What we feel is optimal for us.
00:11:57.970 --> 00:12:16.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know it. It's kind of funny when you think about it, that there are monks Buddhist monks out there who voluntarily give up everything, all their worldly possessions, all their freedoms to follow this code of conduct, and to follow
00:12:17.050 --> 00:12:19.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what they believe to be right.
00:12:21.770 --> 00:12:36.999 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and in a way they have so much more freedom than those of us who are engaged in society, and, and, you know, kind of feeling like they have to go to work and have to please people. And all this other stuff.
00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:42.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They can be so much more free. even though externally
00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:50.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: those material things there they don't possess. They don't have. They don't have the comfort
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:56.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I have sitting in my apartment on the upper West side of Manhattan.
00:13:03.430 --> 00:13:04.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Look.
00:13:05.970 --> 00:13:07.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what I'm trying to say
00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:12.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is that real freedom? And I and I really hope
00:13:13.590 --> 00:13:15.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you all can hear this
00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:19.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: through freedom.
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It comes not
00:13:25.410 --> 00:13:35.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because we're in a free society, not because our movements are not restricted. It is nothing to do with the external world.
00:13:36.410 --> 00:13:43.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This is something Victor Frankel discovered in the concentration camps of Germany during World War 2. True
00:13:43.510 --> 00:13:44.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: freedom
00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:50.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is an internal feeling.
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: True freedom
00:13:52.470 --> 00:13:56.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is the freedom to choose
00:13:57.210 --> 00:14:00.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how we feel, how we respond.
00:14:01.150 --> 00:14:03.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether we smile at someone or not.
00:14:05.050 --> 00:14:07.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Victor Frankel said. In some ways
00:14:08.050 --> 00:14:15.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: he discovered how to be more free than even the guards who who were working at the concentration camps.
00:14:17.620 --> 00:14:23.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and if you can feel freedom in the most horrendous
00:14:23.790 --> 00:14:35.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: human situation being in a concentration camp, seeing people die every single day being starved to death. Work to death! Shot, killed, gasped in the chambers.
00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:49.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you can find the internal freedom to choose how you respond in that situation, and not let the external situation
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:50.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: dictate
00:14:51.280 --> 00:15:01.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who you are, what you are, what you believe in how you decide to show up, then you are truly, truly free.
00:15:05.560 --> 00:15:06.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I hope
00:15:08.060 --> 00:15:12.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: some piece of this lands for all those listening.
00:15:13.370 --> 00:15:17.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether you're listening, live, or or to the recordings.
00:15:18.350 --> 00:15:25.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I hope I can reach you. and I hope you can understand, because if you really really get this
00:15:26.760 --> 00:15:32.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you can internalize it. and you can integrate it into your life.
00:15:34.390 --> 00:15:38.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You will be the freest person, you know.
00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:43.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I'm not saying I'm completely there yet.
00:15:43.710 --> 00:15:48.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Trust me, I'm a human being. This is a process. This is a path.
00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:55.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This is one I've been walking for a long time. and I'm still learning. I'm still
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: allowing myself to find that internal freedom
00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:04.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: every single day.
00:16:04.150 --> 00:16:09.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So this is not something you just get done. It's not something. Oh, I got it, and that's it. No.
00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it it takes.
00:16:13.130 --> 00:16:14.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Take some internal work.

00:16:26.660 --> 00:16:30.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Freedom lies not in the external world.
00:16:31.350 --> 00:16:35.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but in our internal limitlessness.
00:16:35.690 --> 00:16:37.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for we are truly

00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:01.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how to change our relationship to with money.
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:09.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and my, I guess, subtitle for this would be, and why, that is a spiritual practice.

If you do it right now, when I'm live, I'll even answer your question during the show. Okay, so
00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:17.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how to change our relationship with money. And why is it so important?
00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:23.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So this is something that came up recently in a conversation with my wife.
00:21:24.690 --> 00:21:33.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it's something that I've I've spoken about in the past, but I I wanted to touch upon it in a in a slightly different way this time.
00:21:35.910 --> 00:21:38.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because money gets a really bad rap.
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, in the spiritual communities.
00:21:42.060 --> 00:21:51.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm! Sometimes it's it's like, Oh, you don't want to talk about money. Money is like that icky, dirty stuff. Oh, that's so. 3D.
00:21:53.140 --> 00:22:01.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I've always said money is just a tool. Money is like a hammer. Right? You can use a hammer to build a house, or you can use it to kill someone.
00:22:03.610 --> 00:22:08.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's a tool. It's not inherently good or evil. It's a tool.
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:13.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And not only is it a tool, but it's an amplifier.
00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:20.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And this is why it's important to talk about money and to really look at our relationship with money.
00:22:21.490 --> 00:22:23.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because money is an amplifier.
00:22:24.990 --> 00:22:30.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's an old expression, and I believe in it so wholeheartedly
00:22:32.970 --> 00:22:40.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that when you become rich when you have more money, it only makes you more of who you already are.
00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:48.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So if you're a generous person, you're more generous. If you're a stingy person, you become more stingy.
00:22:48.730 --> 00:23:00.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you're paranoid person, you get more paranoid people taking your money. If you're a selfish person, you become more selfish. And I've heard so many stories over the years
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:05.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: about well-known millionaires and billionaires
00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:22.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who would be waiting online at the checkout register, and you know they they they have a coupon, but it expired, and they won't pay full price because they have a coupon, even though it expired, and they'll haggle with the cat, check out person until they they give them the the
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:31.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the discount from the coupon or something. and and even though they can afford to buy the entire store.
00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:39.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because how much money we have in the bank does not determine
00:23:41.020 --> 00:23:42.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how generous we are.
00:23:44.690 --> 00:23:46.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's our relationship to money.
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:56.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I'm going to use the word money and not abundance, because abundance means many things. But I am very, very specifically talking about money.
00:24:00.190 --> 00:24:07.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and money's been a challenge for me most of my life. It really has been, I mean, I'm doing better than I've ever done before now. But
00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:12.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: still I've made really bad decisions over the years.
00:24:15.110 --> 00:24:18.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I've done shows before where I talk about
00:24:18.630 --> 00:24:33.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: sort of how we develop our relationship over money. And and if you have not heard this episode, there's an episode called Synthesis Prime. where I talk about our primary relationships with our mother and father.
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:35.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and how those impact
00:24:36.040 --> 00:24:39.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our attitudes around major things in our life.
00:24:40.690 --> 00:24:54.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and if you have not listened to that, go go to your favorite podcasting platform, search for the conscious consult. Now, we're search for synthesis, prime and listen to that episode. It's a very good episode.
00:24:57.890 --> 00:25:00.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But our relationship to money.
00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:07.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, it's not really about money, and and that's the thing I want
00:25:07.540 --> 00:25:15.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: people to understand, because it can be very easy to say, oh, it's just money. Oh, it's only money. No.
00:25:16.450 --> 00:25:18.439 that money is a symbol.
00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:23.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that money is our energy. that money
00:25:24.280 --> 00:25:26.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is an indication
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:38.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of how we truly value ourselves, because money is the means of how we value things in society.
00:25:40.390 --> 00:25:48.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we look at our relationship with money and how we are with money. what it really shows us
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is our relationship to our own value.
00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:58.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now let that sink in for a moment
00:26:00.170 --> 00:26:02.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our relationship to our own value.
00:26:05.560 --> 00:26:09.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now for so long I did not value myself.
00:26:11.010 --> 00:26:24.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I made a lot of really bad decisions around money in my life. As a matter of fact. before I'm doing what I'm doing now. I got involved in real estate.
00:26:25.120 --> 00:26:33.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and not only did I lose a lot of my own money. I lost a lot of other people's money, and I lost a lot of my family's money
00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:36.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: more than I've ever made in my lifetime.
00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:41.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if I look back over the years
00:26:43.790 --> 00:26:44.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I've
00:26:45.190 --> 00:26:48.829 given away money to people who didn't appreciate it.
00:26:49.860 --> 00:26:53.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I've allowed myself to be taken advantage of
00:26:54.480 --> 00:27:02.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: by other people who did, who were not kind, did not have my best interests at heart did not value my generosity
00:27:04.760 --> 00:27:06.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of made choices about
00:27:07.910 --> 00:27:10.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: working with people and paying people who
00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:15.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I could have made better choices at the time.
00:27:16.820 --> 00:27:18.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So why didn't I?
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What was it
00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:24.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that kept me
00:27:27.630 --> 00:27:34.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from saving money, instead of losing money from making money instead of losing money
00:27:35.860 --> 00:27:38.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from growing
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:43.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: my money instead of decreasing my money.
00:27:47.340 --> 00:27:55.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I want you to think about it yourself. Think about your own life. think about your own decisions, around money.
00:27:56.870 --> 00:27:58.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: around investments
00:28:01.950 --> 00:28:09.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: around money and friends, money and family money and work money in business.
00:28:11.010 --> 00:28:14.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Think about your own choices and your own decisions.
00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:18.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and ask yourself.
00:28:19.870 --> 00:28:24.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What do my choices and decisions around money say about me.
00:28:26.990 --> 00:28:28.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know what
00:28:28.330 --> 00:28:32.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm going to let you think about that a little bit, because we're going to take a break.
00:28:33.350 --> 00:28:40.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we come back I'm gonna talk about what my decisions around money said about me.
00:28:41.590 --> 00:28:44.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What am I doing to change that.
00:28:46.550 --> 00:28:53.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and why it is so important to be mindful about our relationship with money.
00:28:54.330 --> 00:28:57.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And remember, it is a relationship.
00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:01.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's not.
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:07.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's not just the way things are. It's a relationship.
00:29:09.450 --> 00:29:16.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I want you to think about that. Think about what your choices and decisions around money say about you.
00:29:17.020 --> 00:29:23.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and let me know if you're listening to it. Live on your on Youtube list watching, or you're on Facebook

00:29:31.870 --> 00:29:44.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Tell me, what are some of the decisions you made? Major decisions, good or bad. Look, I'm I'm not saying like everything that needs to be bad, good decisions to also show something about your relationship with money.

00:33:12.370 --> 00:33:14.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So here's the thing.
00:33:16.340 --> 00:33:18.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Money is like a piece of ourselves.
00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:23.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We we work with money.
00:33:24.380 --> 00:33:31.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we work to earn money. our energy goes into making money.
00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:37.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:40.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we
00:33:43.230 --> 00:33:45.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: give it away too easily
00:33:47.770 --> 00:33:49.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we
00:33:51.710 --> 00:33:53.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: don't honor
00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:58.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: money, and I'm not saying that we should
00:33:58.930 --> 00:34:04.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: put it as the pinnacle of everything, and it should be the most important thing in our life.
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:10.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's merely a reflection. It's a reflection
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:15.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of how we feel about ourselves.
00:34:16.570 --> 00:34:21.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now I want you to look at the choices you've made around money
00:34:23.409 --> 00:34:24.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: now
00:34:26.270 --> 00:34:27.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to give you an example.
00:34:28.850 --> 00:34:31.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and they started off when I was pretty young.
00:34:34.510 --> 00:34:37.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when I was still in college, and after college
00:34:39.030 --> 00:34:39.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I will
00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:43.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was really in a place where
00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:48.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: had almost no self-worth or self value.
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:54.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I was helping and supporting some friends.
00:34:55.630 --> 00:35:03.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and literally all my money for years was going to supporting them.
00:35:06.590 --> 00:35:09.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I allowed it. It was a very conscious choice.
00:35:10.950 --> 00:35:14.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't know a conscious, but it was a very deliberate choice.
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:20.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I did not honor and value myself.
00:35:21.390 --> 00:35:24.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I did not keep any of it for myself.
00:35:25.350 --> 00:35:29.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I literally even took on a a second part time job
00:35:29.700 --> 00:35:36.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be able to make more money, and there was never enough money. There was always something going wrong, I mean, my friend was schizophrenic
00:35:37.010 --> 00:35:42.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but but him and his girlfriend.
00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:48.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know I was supporting them. I was the sole supporter for many, many years.
00:35:50.370 --> 00:35:54.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and all I did was keep giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:02.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: until it got to be too much.
00:36:03.970 --> 00:36:12.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: until I could feel my own sanity slipping away in this situation. And I said, No, I can't do this anymore.
00:36:14.550 --> 00:36:19.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it was a very hard choice for me to say.
00:36:21.600 --> 00:36:30.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because there was a lot of guilt about leaving. There was a lot of guilt about what would happen. How would they end up like? Would they just end up on the street
00:36:35.140 --> 00:36:36.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:41.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was hard for me to actually
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:46.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: put myself first to say I need to take care of myself.
00:36:48.650 --> 00:36:50.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because in growing up
00:36:52.370 --> 00:36:57.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and seeing the way other people were, and seeing the way my mom was my dad was.
00:37:00.070 --> 00:37:05.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was like my mom was constantly. You have to look out for yourself. You have to look out for yourself.
00:37:06.110 --> 00:37:16.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know you can't rely on anybody else. You can't rely on anyone else, and it's so graded me the wrong way. It was like I I I had to prove her wrong.
00:37:17.590 --> 00:37:21.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and instead, I proved her right in some ways, but not really.
00:37:26.380 --> 00:37:32.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it was so challenging and difficult for me, because I felt so strongly.
00:37:37.070 --> 00:37:40.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I still didn't value myself.
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:47.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that giving away and giving away and giving away of my money
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:50.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was a giving away of myself.
00:37:51.220 --> 00:37:56.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I was literally saying to myself, to others, to the universe.
00:37:56.870 --> 00:38:00.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I am not valuable. I am not worthy
00:38:03.050 --> 00:38:04.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of this
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:06.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: symbol, this this energy.
00:38:08.630 --> 00:38:10.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and even after I left.
00:38:11.870 --> 00:38:13.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I made money.
00:38:15.750 --> 00:38:17.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I started to do better.
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:24.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's still I made bad choices. I had a friend working with me. who, who.
00:38:26.530 --> 00:38:35.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know pretty much was like, you know. Hey, Sam, I need help. I'm I'm helping you with your business, and then we're not making any money. I need some help, and I had money at the time. So I was like, Okay.
00:38:35.890 --> 00:38:41.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: here, I'll I'll lend you some money. Did they ever see that money back? No.
00:38:44.140 --> 00:38:47.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And this person. He kind of took it like I owed him.
00:38:51.970 --> 00:38:53.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that was money gone
00:38:55.230 --> 00:38:58.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I got into real estate, that oh, my God!
00:38:59.630 --> 00:39:10.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If anything shows you how you value yourself when you get involved in real estate, which is such a physical reflection of our attitudes towards money
00:39:10.850 --> 00:39:18.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that will show it to you. And even at the time I met this guy charming guy.
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:25.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and in the he he won't be needed a place to stay. I let him move in with us
00:39:25.210 --> 00:39:31.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for a while, and then, like a couple of weeks, turned into a couple of months until my wife was like he's got to go.
00:39:32.250 --> 00:39:44.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But in that meantime I I actually got a credit card. I gave him an extra card. I said, Look, we'll use this just for doing real estate and stuff. Instead, he charged it up through the hell, charged and used all kinds of things
00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:52.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that that you know he wasn't supposed to, until I finally kicked him out, cut him off, cut off the credit card.
00:39:53.310 --> 00:39:57.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so taken advantage of, my wife would say so, violated
00:40:00.410 --> 00:40:02.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: over and over and over again.
00:40:04.210 --> 00:40:07.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and even afterwards, even after I lost all this money
00:40:08.790 --> 00:40:10.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in real estate.
00:40:10.740 --> 00:40:16.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: started doing better working with coaches. I paid some coaches.
00:40:16.130 --> 00:40:20.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not saying coaches aren't worth a lot of money. but even when
00:40:21.290 --> 00:40:31.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I wanted to say no and stop working, they convinced me to keep working with them, and I started to pay them for the next year, until finally I said no more, and then we stopped, and it's like money I threw away
00:40:35.030 --> 00:40:37.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like I'm throwing away a piece of myself.
00:40:41.930 --> 00:40:45.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our habits around money. Yes, they are learned.
00:40:47.010 --> 00:40:53.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes. it has to do with the relationship to that internal
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: side of ourselves.
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Ultimately, ultimately.
00:41:03.540 --> 00:41:06.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: everything we do around money.
00:41:07.970 --> 00:41:09.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's around
00:41:10.170 --> 00:41:16.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how we feel about ourselves. Do we feel valuable? Do we value ourselves?
00:41:19.390 --> 00:41:28.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we're having challenges around money. it's all around challenges of self-esteem and so forth.
00:41:28.660 --> 00:41:34.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that's what we need to look into. And that's what we need to change.
00:41:34.630 --> 00:41:38.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that's what will really make the difference.
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:43.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's not about our investment strategy. It's not about.
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:50.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know how we choose to do things on a strategic point of view. It's on a very fundamental, energetic.
00:41:50.810 --> 00:41:52.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: unconscious point of view.
00:41:56.170 --> 00:41:58.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: No, I see Paddy on the
00:41:58.420 --> 00:42:12.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Youtube live. Our financial planner has made our move to live in Arizona and retire. They're great security in our lives. We're able to contribute to our church, help out our daughter families
00:42:13.110 --> 00:42:16.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for habitat, for humanity in August. Wonderful padding.
00:42:17.240 --> 00:42:20.660 you see, even the choice to work with the financial planner.
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:26.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, even that shows how your relationship with money.
00:42:27.510 --> 00:42:31.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: your relationship with yourself, you see, because if we really
00:42:31.830 --> 00:42:34.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: value ourselves.
00:42:37.420 --> 00:42:43.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: will seek out professionals, will seek out the right people to help us
00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:44.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to do better
00:42:45.890 --> 00:42:52.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with our investments, with our money management, with with how we show up in the world.
00:42:54.330 --> 00:43:01.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So again. I really want you to get this look into your own life. Look at
00:43:01.630 --> 00:43:06.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the last 5 major choices you've had to make around money.
00:43:08.900 --> 00:43:10.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How did they turn out?
00:43:12.250 --> 00:43:22.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They good choices, are they not so good choices? How were you feeling about yourself at the time you made those choices.
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:25.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, I would
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:35.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: hesitate to guess that when Paddy sort of made those choices around making working with a financial planner and retiring to Arizona that
00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:47.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: she was probably feeling pretty good about herself. She probably had worked hard most of her life. and she felt like she deserved to have a good rest of her life.
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:51.439 How do you really feel
00:43:51.770 --> 00:43:53.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: about yourself.
00:43:53.190 --> 00:44:02.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: about what you deserve? Do you deserve a good life? Do you really, really, truly feel that you deserve
00:44:03.780 --> 00:44:07.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a good life, a supported life, a comfortable life.
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:13.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a thriving life. an over abundant life.
00:44:17.060 --> 00:44:19.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, the more abundant we feel.
00:44:20.990 --> 00:44:23.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the more abundant we will be.
00:44:24.890 --> 00:44:30.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there's no getting around it. There's no shortcuts, there's no quick fixes.
00:44:31.890 --> 00:44:38.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's really about diving in deep and really looking into our own heart.
00:44:39.810 --> 00:44:43.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and being truly honest with ourselves.
00:44:44.530 --> 00:44:50.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how do we really feel about ourselves? How do we really feel
00:44:52.030 --> 00:44:54.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: about our choices, our decision?
00:44:57.260 --> 00:45:01.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All right. So it's time for me to take our last break when we come back.
00:45:02.290 --> 00:45:04.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Talk about what am I doing now?
00:45:05.080 --> 00:45:12.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What am I doing to shift and change and create a better relationship with money.
00:45:14.250 --> 00:45:20.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity.
00:45:20.340 --> 00:45:22.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we'll be right back
00:45:22.550 --> 00:45:27.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to finish up our talk about how to change our relationship with money
00:45:27.530 --> 00:45:28.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in just a moment.
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:46.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: okay. So I want to go back to to to Paddy, our wonderful loyal listener, Patti because she she she made this comment on the Youtube. Live. She said.
00:47:46.550 --> 00:47:52.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We just didn't want to burden our adult orders. We have living will
00:47:52.850 --> 00:47:56.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and all properties in trust. A good feeling.
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:02.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you see that I I get it, and that's a good thing.
00:48:02.930 --> 00:48:06.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But this feeling of not wanting to burden someone else.
00:48:07.330 --> 00:48:13.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I wonder if, instead of being concerned about burdening your children.
00:48:15.130 --> 00:48:24.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what if it could be about just the joy you feel by being able to support them
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:30.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in an in such an abundant way. What if.
00:48:32.850 --> 00:48:42.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: instead of looking at it as oh, we want to avoid being in a position where they would have to take care of us.
00:48:45.130 --> 00:48:48.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we could be in the position of
00:48:49.610 --> 00:48:50.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: oh.
00:48:51.160 --> 00:48:55.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I am so abundant! Life is so abundant!
00:48:56.410 --> 00:49:01.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I want to share this abundance with them.
00:49:02.660 --> 00:49:05.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not worrying about being a burden.
00:49:06.890 --> 00:49:09.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, we can only
00:49:10.290 --> 00:49:15.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: truly give properly from a place of overflow
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:20.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we fill up our own cup to the point where there is more than enough.
00:49:22.150 --> 00:49:23.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: then
00:49:24.750 --> 00:49:28.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're truly able to give joyfully.
00:49:30.420 --> 00:49:39.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so this is a real key. So how do we change our relationship with money. What am I doing to change my relationship with money?
00:49:41.350 --> 00:49:43.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It really comes down to self-.
00:49:44.850 --> 00:49:55.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How good am I at taking care of myself. When I say, taking care of myself, I mean taking care of myself mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
00:49:57.260 --> 00:50:00.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It means being better about what I eat.
00:50:01.270 --> 00:50:03.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: exercise rest.
00:50:04.070 --> 00:50:06.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: spaciousness in my life
00:50:08.160 --> 00:50:11.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: connection with people filling myself up
00:50:17.450 --> 00:50:30.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we engage in the active self care. we are actually doing something very physical to tell our nervous system to tell our unconscious.
00:50:30.190 --> 00:50:31.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes.
00:50:31.450 --> 00:50:37.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I am valuable, I matter. I am worth it. I am worthy.
00:50:38.250 --> 00:50:42.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and I I feel my self-esteem.
00:50:46.050 --> 00:50:48.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So it's kind of funny that
00:50:50.530 --> 00:50:56.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to shift our relationship with money. the very things we need to do.
00:50:56.330 --> 00:50:58.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or the very things
00:50:59.230 --> 00:51:02.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we need to do to take care of ourselves.
00:51:05.520 --> 00:51:13.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Self-care is one of the most important practices on numerous levels.
00:51:14.240 --> 00:51:16.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: first on the physical level.
00:51:17.130 --> 00:51:26.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so that we can have a a healthy life on an emotional level. So we feel good of of our for ourselves.
00:51:27.460 --> 00:51:30.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we're able to connect and be there for other people
00:51:31.870 --> 00:51:41.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: on a mental level, because it's a way of programming our unconscious by engaging in a physical act that says
00:51:42.290 --> 00:51:43.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I am worth it.
00:51:44.810 --> 00:51:50.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and on a spiritual and energetic level. because we're saying to the universe.
00:51:52.070 --> 00:51:54.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I deserve a good life.
00:51:54.220 --> 00:52:04.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I deserve to take care of myself. I deserve to be there for others. I deserve to tap into this abundance. That's all around us.
00:52:05.860 --> 00:52:08.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there is abundance all around us.
00:52:10.430 --> 00:52:19.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, people will look at the fact that there were inequalities around the world that there were people starving in other countries.
00:52:21.640 --> 00:52:29.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the fact that there were people starving does not mean there's not an abundance of resources. There is completely an abundance of resources. I've heard it once
00:52:29.890 --> 00:52:35.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: said they did a report, and it's like we could feed the world 10 times over.
00:52:36.850 --> 00:52:38.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The challenge is
00:52:38.730 --> 00:52:53.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that there is a concentration of resources among a small handful of people. instead of everything being distributed, instead of everything being accessible to people all around the world.
00:52:53.100 --> 00:52:55.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: regardless of their economic status.
00:52:59.240 --> 00:53:06.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I have to tell you, like, I am a big believer, that everybody everybody deserves at least the bare minimum
00:53:06.950 --> 00:53:10.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: food, good food, clean water, shelter
00:53:11.340 --> 00:53:12.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the basics.
00:53:17.560 --> 00:53:25.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when we work on ourselves. and we work on our so value and self-worth.
00:53:27.490 --> 00:53:31.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: then more abundance can flow to us. That's that's our work.
00:53:31.570 --> 00:53:43.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we're being taken care of on at least the most minimal basic level. then to get to true thriving. Well, then, that comes down to us, but we have to have at least the basics.
00:53:43.660 --> 00:53:51.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there is absolutely no good reason. I'm not saying there aren't reasons, but there are no good reasons why
00:53:51.790 --> 00:54:07.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: everybody in this world does not have decent food on their plate and clean water. It's one of the reasons why I contribute to charity water, because I just believe in their mission of bringing clean drinking water to the poorest areas in the world.
00:54:08.250 --> 00:54:13.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And if you haven't heard of the the, the organization charity water. Check it out.
00:54:16.430 --> 00:54:22.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You don't have to contribute a lot. I don't contribute a lot because I don't have a lot of extra income at the moment. But you know it's getting there.
00:54:26.180 --> 00:54:39.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes, supporting charities like charity water. And if you go to talk radio, dot Nyc, you'll see the the organization that tear the charitable organization that the the radio station
00:54:40.090 --> 00:54:41.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: supports as well.
00:54:45.300 --> 00:54:49.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But there is an abundance of resources all around us.
00:54:49.370 --> 00:54:55.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The only lack. The only scarcity we have is in our own imagination.
00:54:55.530 --> 00:54:59.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is there our own ability to
00:54:59.160 --> 00:55:05.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: use our creativity, to figure out how to get all this to more people.
00:55:05.580 --> 00:55:11.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I truly believe one day we will. I truly believe that in the future there is
00:55:11.870 --> 00:55:17.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a a world in which everyone. every single person
00:55:18.830 --> 00:55:20.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we will be taking care of
00:55:20.830 --> 00:55:23.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: at least minimally better than we're doing today.
00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:27.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But ultimately.
00:55:29.750 --> 00:55:35.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how much food, how much water, how much clothing, what kind of lifestyle we live.
00:55:36.430 --> 00:55:39.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It all comes down to how we feel about ourselves.
00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:59.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And look, I'm not saying we need to be extravagant or lavish. Sometimes we live in a a a lavish lifestyle to make up for for the fact that we don't feel good about ourselves. We don't need a lavish lifestyle. We may want to be comfortable. We may want nice things, but we don't have to go overboard.
00:55:59.850 --> 00:56:20.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we won't be destructive to the environment, you see, because if we truly value ourselves, we will value our environment and our planet, and we'll want to keep the planet in as good a shape as possible so that we can enjoy it for as long as possible, and for generations to come, and for our children and our grandchildren.

00:56:32.060 --> 00:56:46.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we are screwing up this environment. Why? Because we are insane in a way that we disconnect ourselves to nature. We disconnect ourselves to what's truly valuable.
