WEALTH WITHIN
CHUTISA BOWMAN GENERATIVE WOMAN MEDIA
Your Wealth Within What if you already are what you'd like to be?
Have you ever wondered how some people manage to create a life full of abundance and prosperity? Have you ever found yourself asking what their secret is, or worse, chalking it all up to luck? If so, you are not alone. What if you could know what they know and you could have more fun, more peace and more ease with money?
PAGE 1
MAKING THE CHOICE TO BE WEALTHY Did you know that there are ways to prosperity that have little to do with luck and a lot to do with recognizing your ‘wealth within’, choosing to be wealthy and be savvy with money? Surprisingly, the number one reason many people never become wealthy is simply because they never consciously and deliberately choose to be wealthy. Making the choice to be prosperous and wealthy is, absolutely, within your power.
PAGE 2
True wealth starts with you recognizing your ‘wealth within’ and deliberately choosing to be wealthy. Your mindset determines your wealth boundaries and sets your limits.
By choosing to acknowledge your ‘wealth within’ and becoming money smart, you can expand your capacity to create more wealth and eliminate your financial limitations. You can alter your life by altering your points of view. What if the only thing that is keeping you from being abundantly wealthy is your point of view about money and about yourself in regard to money and wealth?

A GREAT PLACE TO START
Abundance is not only for the "chosen few". It’s everyone’s birthright. How many times have you heard stories of people pulling themselves up from nothing to create mass success and fortune? It can happen for you too. You’re probably asking yourself how or even shaking your head while thinking, this is for “other” people and not for me. Too many people are living their life without ever consciously choosing to be prosperous and wealthy. Is now the time for change for you? That is a great place to start – with your points of view. Change your points of view, change your mindset, and change your life. So, imagine thinking about not having money or failing day in and day out. What do you think will happen eventually? Yes, you’ll be bound to fail. Epically. If your intrinsic point of view is that “I will never become wealthy,” then it’s absolutely correct. You will not. If you say, “I’m not good with money,” you’ll create your financial reality that validates your belief. If your thought is, “I don’t have the ability,” then you will not choose to discover what it would take to develop that capacity.

UNLEASH YOURSELF One of the most surprising differences between people who are prosperous, and other average people, is the kind of world they see. Prosperous people see a world of limitless possibilities and they are willing to use money to create different possibilities. They have fun with money and look at the possibilities that can be created with money.
What if there is only one thing that stands in your way to becoming wealthy and accomplishing anything you’ve dreamed of? It’s not money and it’s not time. It’s not a lack of luck or not having the right opportunities handed to you on a plate. The thing that is standing in your way is your fixed points of view. There doesn’t have to be a limitation unless you choose it. So, it is essential to unleash yourself from your fixed points of view about how things are supposed to be and from any limiting beliefs that do not serve you or do not expand your life.

What would be different for you financially if you expanded your ability to create a prosperous life and have the confidence to know you can be or do anything you desire? Choose now what you desire to create as your life, and make a commitment to do whatever it takes to create this. Then make a choice to start from where you are now and start with whatever means that may be at hand. This isn’t about aiming for an illusory fantasy or just wishful thinking. So, if you really want to create a life full of abundance and prosperity, you have to change the way you look at things. It’s a choice you make. You have to be willing to have something different.
Start asking yourself these questions –
What would I truly like to choose? What could I be or do different that would change all this? What can I do or choose that will create greater possibility right away?
Change the way you look at things

REVIEWS
DIFFERENT WAY OF VIEWING THINGS You don’t simply wake up one morning and declare you will be more mindful of your prosperity. It takes commitment. It also takes intentional choice to move forward taking the steps to make it a reality. There is a completely different way of viewing things—and a totally different way of being and creating your financial reality. It starts with recognizing your ‘wealth within’.
The key reason why most people are not having prosperity and wealth is because they think that wealth is something outside of themselves. When you define wealth and prosperity based on this point of view, then you will stop you from being truly prosperous. PAGE 7
Wealth is something you are, that you haven’t chosen to be. ..... So, you put it outside of you as something you need to achieve. If you define wealth as something outside of you, or anything other than you, then you will never be wealthy and prosperous. When you are buying this definition of wealth you will always be in competition with yourself in trying to achieve it.
You don’t have to take on the limited points of view that other people buy into. You can choose differently. However, to make different choices, you have to be willing to look through a different set of eyes. You must recognize that wealth is something you are. You must believe that being wealthy is truly possible and see it as a real part of your future. You have to recognize that there’s a different possibility available….and you just have to choose it.

BE THE ENERGY OF WEALTH
Acknowledging your ‘wealth within’ is not about what you have to do, and you certainly don't have to figure out how. It’s about making the choice to just embody and be the energy of wealth. Don’t try to define yourself as the energy of wealth, just simply allow yourself to be the energy that wealth is. The truth is, when you make a choice to step into being the energy of wealth, you open up the space for that energy to actualize, where there was no space for it to be before. Once you are willing to receive it and step into being it, you simply become that vibration … that energy. You will begin to see yourself in a new light, you will learn to trust your awareness and to follow the inspiring of your own knowing. And when you be that, your life will change forever! You become a creator of a different possibility when you are being the energy of wealth. It’s about the possibilities you are creating. ……. So, ask yourself - "What is it that you have been unwilling to be that you truly can now be?"
PAGE 9
When you claim and acknowledg your ‘wealth within’ you can function in life from ease and joy and abundance, no matter what occurs…. the good the bad, the victories and the breakdowns. Everything is included and nothing has to be a difficulty. What if everything that was possible in the world was available at your request? It is; but you refuse it when you are not acknowledging the ‘wealth within’.
To acknowledge your ‘wealth within’ you have to be willing to live as you and be all of you. You have to be willing to be everything and be the gift of change you truly are. We all have unique gifts, skills and talents we can use to create greater possibilities. When you make the choice and the demand to be prosperous and wealthy, you open the doors to everything you are capable of. You perceive choices and possibilities you never knew could be available.
PAGE FOUR| JOURNEY PAGE 10
BE THE GIFT OF CHANGE The experience of abundance and prosperity is determined by what goes on inside you far more than what goes on around you. True abundance has nothing to do with what you have. It has everything to do with whom you choose to be. When you choose to acknowledge your ‘wealth within’, then everything you require will come to you with ease, without you even doing anything to obtain it.
PAGE 11
MORE THAN JUST MONEY
True wealth is much more than just money. True wealth is not about how much money you have or how many assets you own. It's about the freedom and the capacity to create a phenomenal difference and create something beyond normal by other people’s standards. When you engage with your ‘wealth within’, you have no limitation to what you can be, what you can receive, what you can generate and what is possible to have in life. So, what would it be like to live your life moment-by-moment engaging with your ‘wealth within’? Well, for one thing, you would be willing to allow everything in the world to gift to you. You would be willing to receive any energy, whatever the energy is. If you are not willing to receive everything, you create a constant state of judgment and in so doing, you create what you judge to be wrong.
PAGE 12
Allow everything in the world to gift to you If you wish to create a life full of abundant wealth and prosperity, and to have everything including money, you have to be willing to receive everything. You also have to be willing to be, do, have, create and generate everything in life. Anything else is functioning from judgment, which cuts off your ability to be and receive everything. The willingness to receive everything without judgment is the place where you begin to have true choice.
PAGE 13
The ‘Wealth Within’ Keys to Prospering What’s required for you to be wealthy and prosperous? CHOICE! You just have to choose it. You have to be willing to be and receive your ‘wealth within’. You have to honor who and what you are. The key is to be fully present in the moment and being grateful for all that you are and that you have. You need to start with gratitude first and sincerely infusing your life into the expansion of your gratitude. Then every moment of your life and living becomes a generative moment engaged in the energetics of ‘wealth within’. By constantly being in a state of gratitude, you expand your capacity for gratitude.
Since your thoughts drive your actions, and your actions take you to your destination, it's important to make sure that your thoughts steer you down the right road – the road to prosperity and wealth. A great way to make abundance accessible to every part of your being without sacrificing any more of your energy is to turn your thoughts to the present moment with gratitude. From this space you can be aware when you’re repeating a thought that makes you feel lack, and redirect it to being grateful for what you already be and have. You might not have the job, or the house, or wealth you desire yet — but you do have the seeds of greater possibility. Be grateful for that. You can have gratitude for everything that you have today and still ask for more. Start by having gratitude for all that you have and never stop asking, “What else is possible beyond this?”

It all begins with your mind! The average person generates 25,000 to 50,000 thoughts per day. Imagine if each of those thoughts is based on lack and scarcity. What effect do you think this would have on your life? Would you probably be unhappy with yourself and those around you? Certainly, you would also probably find that you were getting very little accomplished at work or home. You might also feel defeated and see no point in living, dreading each day. Now let’s look at the opposite. What if those 50,000 thoughts were based on prosperity and wealth points of view? Would you feel happy, optimistic, and confident about your life? You might find that you consistently achieve your priorities at work and home, making you feel each day was a success. You would also be openminded and accepting of others as well as generosity of spirit.
This phenomenon of how our thoughts affect our outlook first became popular around 1952 with Norman Vincent Peale's book, "The Power of Positive Thinking". The school of thought developed around the idea that happiness and unhappiness were a byproduct of our thoughts. In fact, many believe that negative thinking leads to a variety of psychological and physiological disorders. Your points of view are the things that ground you in your reality and are the basis upon which your life is created. They are the most powerful influence in your life. They have a profound influence on how you see the world and, on the way you live your life. You may know everything about investment schemes, financial strategies, real estate investment, and the top secrets of high finance. But if your points of view, your thoughts and your beliefs concerning money are based on the scarcity paradigm, then you will never have the sense that you have enough money. Moreover, if somehow you are able to acquire a lot of money, you most likely will not appreciate it and, in all probability, will not be able to retain it!

Take a conscious look at the life and the reality you have created! Be aware of the points of view, assumptions and limiting beliefs you function from in life. How do you see the world you live in? Is life enjoyable, satisfying, and exciting, or harsh and lackluster? Each of us will answer these questions in a slightly different way according to our own personal experiences and beliefs. Think about it for a few minutes‌ reflect on what are the dominant points of view present in your life in regard to wealth and money? And more importantly, what would you like it to be? The good news is that you can choose to have power over your thinking and your points of view. If you would like something to change in your reality, then you must first look at what you need to change about yourself! It must start with you, not anything external, not others to change, just you! When you choose to start with yourself, you can choose to be, do, have, create and generate anything. You can change what you believe and thus change what you create as your reality.

Pay attention to your words. The words you speak dictate your life. What you say to yourself determines your prosperity power and sets your boundaries. If you spend too much time speaking about ‘woe is me’ subjects, chances are you will energetically attract more of that into your life. The moment you go into, “What’s wrong.” you destroy every connection you have with your ‘wealth within’.
Let go of attachment to outcome. If you have attachment to results and expectations of how things are supposed to be, you have already come to a conclusion about it, you are vested in the outcome. Attachment to outcome is any fixed point of view or any conviction that someone or something has to be a certain way. When you are vested in the outcome you will always feel like a failure no matter what occurs. Be the space of possibilities that includes everything and judges nothing and be willing to follow the energy. This allows for change to occur with ease.

Connecting Success with the Power of Your ‘Wealth Within’
Through your ‘wealth within’ you expand the elements of life you wish to have. You will begin to discover your gift, your talents and abilities that you haven’t acknowledged before. You will have no need to define you or anything you do based on anybody else’s point of view. You are the creator source of your reality, and what you believe will be the perspective from which you view the world and the platform in which you live your life and create your reality. Your definitions of you, who you are and what you do, are a limitation of what you create as your life. It also becomes what you’ve decided you cannot be, you cannot do, or you cannot have. In order to have prosperity and wealth, you have to be willing to be it. If you’re not willing to be it, you can’t have it. Truly being wealthy and prosperous is never seeing it as separate from you. Your outlook is what your perception of success (or failure) looks like. It has a big impact on your success. The good news is that if you have a scarcity and lack mindset, you can change it to be more generative. If you function from ‘wealth within’, you have a sense of peace and joy, and a sense of possibility, generosity of spirit and gratitude for everything and everyone around you.

Here are five ways ‘wealth within’ is connected to success:
1 Engaging with your ‘wealth within’ helps to give you confidence about yourself, your abilities, and situations. You are able to control your thought process, turning any negative pattern into a positive pattern as the need arises. 2 It will help with expanding your zone of awareness. The beauty of awareness is that it connects you to consciousness, and more importantly, conscious life and living. An expanded zone of awareness allows you to see different possibilities, recognize different courses of action, and invest for possible futures. This improves your perspective and enables you to tackle problems and obstacles as they happen. 3 You are able to function from the awareness of what will create the future you would like to have, from the space of possibilities instead of the space of conclusion. 4 When you engagd your ‘wealth within’, you know what you want to create. You know where you are going, and you know when you are going for it. The limitations in your life fall away. 5 You have infinite choice and infinite possibilities. New and different possibilities show up for you that you had never considered. Your life becomes a constant state of the adventure of creating it.

HOW TO FREE YOURSELF FROM SCARCITY THOUGHTS
Scarcity points of view can dwell in all of us, no matter how much or how little money we have. These points of view are insidious, they lead to financial and emotional grief and ultimately to action that creates poverty and lack. If you’re like most people, you have many points of view about wealth, finance and money that you’re not even aware you have. These points of view are the cause of many of your so-called money problems. If you don’t transform your viewpoints around money, then when you receive more money, your financial mess will simply grow in proportion to the amount you receive. A prosperity viewpoint is one of the stepping-stones to success. Everyone has a scarcity outlook occasionally and you may be able to neutralize it with a prosperity perspective. Unless you are willing to change from a scarcity perception to a prosperity perspective, it is going to be business as usual, regardless of how much money you have. Unless your perspective changes, no matter how much money you have, your experience will remain the same.
PAGE 20
Listen to what you think and say When the scarcity frame of mind is deeply entrenched into the way you view yourself and the world around you, it can sabotage your efforts to create wealth and financial selfreliance. When you see scarcity and lack as real you make choices from a position of “Lack and not enough, that’s just the way life is. There’s no way out. There are no other choices.” When scarcity outlooks fill your mind, it may be time to change your mindset. But, how do you do that? Become aware of your thoughts. The trick is to take control of your thinking. Frequently ask yourself, "What am I thinking right now?" Learn to recognize your scarcity outlook patterns and replace them with accurate, optimistic alternatives. The aim is to recognize and replace them with prosperity perspectives immediately, so you don't dwell on the scarcity perspectives.
If what you only see around you is ‘lack and not enough’ and if what you consistently think about is ‘Not OK’ then you create in your reality the idea that you are enduringly ‘Not OK’. You then lock yourself into the more severe forms of survival anxiety that the scarcity mindset creates. To be stuck in the scarcity frame of mind exposes you to the influence of the masses and at the whim of external circumstances. Pay attention to your thoughts, feelings and emotions. What thoughts, feelings and emotions are you using to erase your awareness of your ‘wealth within’? Listen to what you think and say and that will expose all your limitations and everything you believe. If you have a lot of scarcity and lack points of view, quit giving your power away to them. Every time you find yourself coming to conclusion or any decision, judgment, assumption and projection choose to disregard and eliminate it straight away. Ask yourself, “What can I do to change it?” and move on. Start right then because if you start right then, the scarcity energy you are beginning to create from will just go away. You have to catch it in the moment, in the first 10 seconds.
PAGE FOUR| JOURNEY PAGE 21
Learn to recognize your scarcity outlook patterns Your thoughts, feelings, emotions are how you go out of being present in life. As soon as you go into thinking, you have to contract and go out of awareness. As soon as you go into feelings and emotions you have to go into judgment of good, bad, right and wrong. Does that mean you have to eliminate all thoughts feelings and emotions? No. You are totally aware of them and you have choice. Are you willing to have choice above all else? You can dismiss your scarcity and lack viewpoints by choosing to never act out of scarcity or unease. You can renew your points of view and life by recognizing that you are not confined to your circumstance due to lack, poverty and a deficiency of opportunities. Start acknowledging that there is enough for everyone and to see abundant prospects in everything. When you feel a sense of lack, poverty, scarcity and struggle welling up within you, STOP, relax, and just repeat to yourself, “That’s an interesting point of view” or “interesting point of view I have this point of view”. This statement will release the attachment you have to the energy of that judgment or scarcity point of view, and it will free you from it. Which are you more focused on: a prosperity perspective or a scarcity perspective? We all have a bias, just recognize what yours is.
PAGE FOUR| JOURNEY PAGE 22
So, take a moment throughout your day and ask yourself: How much are my thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions, in this moment, based on a scarcity mindset? Do I have a point of view that lack is more real than abundance? What are the lies of scarcity I bought into? Am I functioning from spending money or from creating money? Do I have any points of view that have prevented me from flourishing and being abundantly prosperous?”
PAGE 23
You can let go of your scarcity mindset by choosing to let it go! You have to choose to terminate the old paradigms and look at the situation anew, through a new lens. If you look for possibilities, you will find them. If you look for what is wrong, you will certainly find that. If you start engaging with your ‘wealth within’, you start opening the door to creating from a different place. and a different possibility begins to occur. Let yourself feel gratitude for what you have. Take a look and see the abundance in your life. Become aware of what makes you feel an expanded sense of peace and gratitude for your life. Once you make a conscious effort to feel gratitude for all the wealth you already have, you will begin to notice a shift. There will be a shift in your mind too. You will be amazed at how this single most important shift in your mindset will change your thoughts, change your words, and change your life. What would it be like to start looking for infinite possibility with wealth, money and finance? Allowing yourself to be different and to see different possibilities. So, going forward from this day on, here are 3 questions to ask every day. “What choice did I have today that I didn’t have yesterday?” “What else is possible, what else is possible, what else is possible?” “What can I be or do different today?”
