You see, it's rather curious that people spend most of their lives worrying about money, chasing after it, defending it, fearing its absence as if it were the very air they breathe. But when you don't have it, something very interesting happens. Life in its quiet mischief brings you to the edge of your illusions.
You suddenly find yourself stripped bare of the stories you tell yourself about worth, status, and safety. And right there at that trembling edge is where real power begins. When you don't have money, you're forced to look beyond the surface of things.
You start to see that the whole dance of giving and receiving, of having and losing, is not about numbers in a bank or paper in your hand. It's about energy. It's about trust.
It's about your relationship with the flow of life itself. And the moment you stop grasping, the moment you stop pleading and panicking, that energy begins to move toward you again. It's almost magical, but it's not magic.
It's you remembering what you are. I remember a time when I was quite broke. And I use the word broke not as a tragedy, but as a curious condition, like being naked in the rain.
It's uncomfortable, yes, but also strangely refreshing because in that state, you can no longer hide behind possessions or plans. You are left only with yourself, with your thoughts and your feelings. And you begin to notice how often your mind tells you, "I can't.
I don't have enough. I need something first. " But that's precisely the trap.
Because every time you think, "I don't have," you tell the universe, keep it away. Every time you say, "I'll feel happy when you postpone your own abundance indefinitely. " The truth is life doesn't respond to need.
It responds to wholeness. It mirrors your state of being, not your state of wishing. And so when I say just do it when you don't have money, I mean stop waiting for the conditions to be perfect.
Stop waiting to feel safe before you leap because you'll be waiting forever. The irony of life is that everything begins to move the very moment you move first. It's as though the universe is watching you, waiting for a signal, [clears throat] asking silently, are you serious about this?
If you take one small step in faith, even when you have nothing, the universe rushes to meet you halfway. That's the secret. Not because it's rewarding you for being brave, but because it was never withholding anything from you to begin with.
It was only matching your vibration. Now, I'm not talking about blind optimism or fantasy thinking. I'm talking about a subtle inner realignment.
You must come to see that your lack of money is not a punishment nor a reflection of your worth. It's simply feedback. It's showing you where you've been believing in limitation instead of abundance.
Where you've been serving fear instead of flow. To understand this, you have to step back and see the bigger picture. Look at nature.
Look at the way it gives. Trees don't hoard oxygen. Rivers don't charge you for water.
The sun doesn't invoice the earth for light. Everything in existence gives freely and yet it never runs out. Why?
Because giving and receiving are the same motion. The only difference is perspective. When you're in lack, your instinct is to hold on to conserve, to clutch.
But that's precisely what blocks the current. The more you grip, the less you receive. It's like clenching your fist under a waterfall.
You can't catch anything that way. The secret is to open your hand even when you're afraid. especially when you're afraid.
So when you have no money, the practice is simple. Act as if you already have everything you need. Not in arrogance, not in denial, but in quiet knowing.
When you walk, walk like someone who is taken care of by life. When you speak, speak as if your words carry value and weight. When you give, even the smallest thing, a smile, a moment of attention, a compliment, do it as though you are wealthy beyond measure.
And watch what happens because life will begin to mirror your state of abundance. People will respond to your energy, not your circumstances. Opportunities will emerge, not because you're lucky, but because you're aligned.
Let me tell you something most people never realize. Money is not the cause of security. It's the result of it.
True security arises when you no longer depend on anything external to feel whole. When you find that center within yourself, the place that is untouched by gain or loss, you become magnetic. Money, success, love, they all start orbiting around you, drawn by your calm certainty.
The reason it works so fast is because the illusion of poverty only exists in time. The moment you stop projecting your fear into tomorrow and drop completely into the present, you collapse the distance between yourself and what you desire, you shift from wanting to being from hoping to knowing. Think of it this way.
When you say, "I want money," you are affirming that you don't have it. But when you feel gratitude for money before it arrives, you dissolve the separation. You start to broadcast the frequency of already having.
And since the universe can only reflect what you are, it rearranges itself to match your new state. This is why gratitude, especially when you're broke, is one of the most powerful forces in existence. It's easy to be grateful when life is giving you what you want.
But to feel genuine appreciation when you have nothing, that is mastery. Because gratitude is not a reaction. It's a creation.
It's an act of aligning with abundance even when your senses tell you otherwise. When I first discovered this, I was skeptical. It felt foolish to give thanks for something that wasn't there.
But then I realized that's exactly how creation works. Every inventor, every artist, every visionary sees what is not yet visible and gives life to it through belief. They thank the unseen before it becomes seen.
So when I was at my lowest, no money, no job, no plan, I started a strange little ritual. Every morning before I opened my eyes, I would say quietly, "Thank you for the abundance that flows to me today. " Even though I had no idea where it would come from.
At first, it felt ridiculous. But slowly, something began to shift. Not outside, but inside.
My mind stopped panicking. My body began to relax. I started noticing opportunities that were always there, hidden in plain sight.
People began to help me. Not because I asked, but because my energy had softened. I wasn't radiating desperation anymore.
I was radiating trust. And that made all the difference. Now, when you hear me say just do it when you don't have money.
I mean, live abundantly. Now, don't wait for proof. Act as if life has already chosen you because it has.
The act of stepping into that energy calls forth the evidence. You might think, "But Allan, that sounds like pretending. And yes, it is pretending, but it's the kind of pretending that all reality is built upon.
You pretend long enough until the world catches up. Because the truth is, every belief you hold is a form of pretending. The only question is, are you pretending limitation or pretending possibility?
Let's be clear. Pretending in this sense is not deceit. It's creation.
It's the conscious choice to inhabit a vibration before it solidifies into form. You are the dreamer of this dream. And every feeling you hold is a brushstroke on the canvas of your life.
You see, the reason most people stay stuck in lack is because they keep waiting for evidence before they believe. But the universe works the other way round. Belief is the evidence.
Faith is the key. You must feel it first, then see it. It's like standing before a mirror and waiting for the reflection to smile before you do.
It doesn't work that way. You have to be the first mover. the reflection can only follow.
So when you don't have money, you are being given an opportunity, a sacred one, to practice faith without a safety net. To act not because you know, but because you trust. To remember that abundance was never out there.
It was always within you. And the fastest way to activate it, give. Even the smallest act of generosity breaks the illusion of lack.
Because you cannot give what you do not already have. So when you give even a little, you tell your subconscious mind, I am abundant. And your subconscious being very obedient starts to create situations that confirm it.
Start with something simple. Share your time. Share your attention.
Smile at a stranger. Compliment someone. Offer help without expecting anything back.
You'll be astonished at how quickly life starts to reciprocate. Because money is not the cause of giving. It's the echo of it.
When you give freely without calculation, you enter the same flow that keeps the stars burning and the oceans moving. You align yourself with the rhythm of creation itself. It's not about the amount.
It's about the energy behind it. Give from joy, not obligation. Give from love, not fear.
And you'll find that the universe keeps finding new ways to refill your cup. Remember, energy must move. If you trap it, it stagnates.
If you let it flow, it multiplies. You can test this right now. Take a deep breath.
Feel that breath as a gift. You didn't earn it. You didn't buy it.
It's freely given. Now exhale. That's you giving back.
You see, inhale and exhale. Receiving and giving are the same process. You cannot separate them.
The moment you stop one, the other stops too. And money is no different. It is the breath of life in another form.
When you hoard it, fear it, or chase it, you disturb the natural rhythm. But when you let it flow with faith and gratitude, it becomes effortless. So if you're broke, don't shrink, expand.
Don't panic play. Because this is the universe inviting you to remember who you are. A creator, not a victim.
the source, not the seeker. Pause for a moment. Look around.
Every single thing you see began as thought. Every object, every invention, every fortune started as an idea in someone's mind. That's the real wealth imagination.
Money is only its shadow. And that's why this technique works so fast. Because the moment you shift your internal state, your external reality scrambles to keep up.
It must because the outer is nothing but a mirror of the inner. Now the curious thing about this entire business of money and abundance is that the more you chase it, the faster it runs away. The more you think about it, worry about it and try to control it, the more slippery it becomes.
Because you see, the harder you try to grab life by the throat, the more it wriggles out of your hands. It's like trying to hold water. You can only cup it gently.
try to clutch it and it escapes between your fingers. This is why most people in their panic to secure money actually repel it. They radiate an energy of tension, of lack, of desperation.
And life being exquisitely sensitive responds accordingly. The secret is surrender. Not giving up, but letting go of the illusion that you must control how and when things arrive.
When you're broke, your mind screams for control. It wants to plan, to predict, to secure. But life doesn't unfold, under threat.
It blossoms under trust. When you stop struggling against what is, when you relax into the uncertainty and say, "All right, I don't know how, but I know it will work out. " Something extraordinary happens.
The energy that was tied up in fear is released. It starts moving again, and the flow returns. You begin to see that the problem was never the absence of money.
It was the contraction of your mind. Every time you contract in fear, you narrow the channel through which abundance can reach you. But when you relax, when you breathe, when you accept, you open the floodgates.
It's like tuning a radio. When you're tense, you're slightly off frequency. You get static.
When you let go, you tune in. And suddenly, the music of life comes through clearly. That music has always been playing.
You just weren't aligned with it. So if you want it to work fast, stop trying to make it work fast. The very desire for speed is born from impatience.
And impatience is just another face of fear. Instead, fall in love with the process itself. Treat this moment of lack as a sacred teacher, showing you the parts of yourself still bound by worry, doubt, and control.
When I was younger, I used to think spirituality was about rising above the material world, detaching from it. But I've since realized that true spirituality is not about denial. It's about intimacy.
It's about seeing that the material world is the divine in disguise. Money, too, is sacred when seen through the right eyes. It's simply energy moving through the game of life to teach us trust, balance, and flow.
When you learn to see money not as a master but as a messenger, you begin to relax. You stop fighting. You stop begging and you start dancing with it.
You give when inspired, receive when offered and remain at peace when it's not there because you know it's always in circulation and it will come again. The universe, my friend, is rhythm. It moves in waves in and out, up and down, gain and loss.
And you cannot have one without the other. To demand only the high tide is to misunderstand the ocean. [clears throat] So when you find yourself in a low tide, when the money has gone out, don't panic.
The tide always returns. What you call lack is just the universe inhaling, preparing to exhale abundance once more. If you can sit quietly in that space without fear, the next wave will come in sooner than you think.
This is why the technique I speak of works so quickly because it's not about manipulating reality. It's about ceasing to resist it. It's not about attracting money.
It's about dissolving the vibration that pushes it away. When you stop saying I need and start saying I have, you stop vibrating at the frequency of absence. You stop broadcasting your insecurity.
And the universe being perfectly reflective stops giving you more reasons to feel insecure. It's all one vast mirror. You see, you stand before it and shout, "Give me something good.
" And the mirror answers. "Give me something good. " You frown and the reflection frowns back.
You smile and the reflection smiles. The trick is to act from the state you want reflected, not from the one you're seeing now. So if you want abundance, practice being abundant emotionally, mentally, energetically.
Even if your pockets are empty, your spirit doesn't have to be. You can walk with dignity, speak with confidence, dream with joy. That's abundance.
That's wealth in its purest form. When you embody that, life cannot help but match you because consciousness creates form. Now, people often say, "But Allan, how can I feel abundant when I'm worried about rent or food?
" And I tell them, "You don't have to deny your reality. You just have to see through it. You can acknowledge what is without becoming it.
You can look at your bills and say, "Yes, this is what appears right now, but it's not who I am. " You are not your bank account. You are not your possessions.
You are the consciousness that perceives them. You are the awareness in which all these experiences arise. When you remember that, you reclaim your power because you see the one who knows they are the sky doesn't panic about the passing clouds.
And when that realization sinks deep enough, you start to live in an entirely different way. You begin to notice that opportunities seem to find you effortlessly. People show up at the right moment.
A new job appears and unexpected payment arrives. Things line up not because you're striving but because you're aligned. The universe is not withholding anything from you.
It is you withholding your own receptivity through fear and doubt. So what is the technique really? It's not a ritual or a mantra.
It's a shift in consciousness. When you don't have money, don't contract expand. Don't say why me.
Say what is life showing me? Then do something generous. Do something that breaks the pattern of scarcity.
If you have $1, bless it. Hold it in your hand and feel gratitude for it as if it were a thousand. Because the vibration of gratitude multiplies what it touches.
Money loves appreciation. It loves circulation. It loves joy.
If you hoard it in fear, it stagnates. If you bless it in trust, it grows. The way of life is play, not struggle.
And when you remember that, everything becomes lighter. Even your financial problems become part of the game. They stop defining you.
They become stepping stones, opportunities to practice faith. There is an old saying, when you come to the edge of all you know, trust that one of two things will happen. Either you'll find something solid to stand on, or you'll learn how to fly.
That's exactly what happens when you're out of money and you choose faith instead of fear. You discover that life is surprisingly supportive. When you stop clinging to the illusion of control, it's in those moments of uncertainty that the true nature of reality reveals itself.
You find that the ground beneath you was never solid to begin with. But you were never meant to stand still. You were meant to dance.
This is why I tell people, don't wait to feel safe before you give, before you act, before you move. Safety is an illusion that appears after you leap, not before. And once you've leapt a few times, you start to see that the net always appears.
Maybe not in the form you expected, but it appears nonetheless because life is responsive. It's intelligent. It's not some blind mechanism of chance.
It's an echo of your own consciousness. And the faster you trust it, the faster it mirrors that trust back to you. So, if you're listening to this right now, perhaps you're in that place, tight, uncertain, afraid.
Maybe you've tried every trick, every affirmation, every manifestation ritual, and nothing seems to stick. I'm here to tell you, stop trying so hard. Relax.
Breathe. Look around you. Notice that even now, life is supporting you.
The chair beneath you, the breath in your lungs, the sound of my voice reaching you through invisible waves of energy. You're not abandoned. You're part of a vast interconnected dance.
The moment you realize this, you stop begging life to take care of you because you understand it already is. Money flows not to those who need it most, but to those who trust life most. Because trust opens the channel through which all things flow.
And when you begin to see that, your actions change naturally. You start doing what feels alive, what feels joyful instead of what feels desperate. And joy, you see, is the most magnetic force in the universe.
People who radiate joy are irresistible. Opportunities chase them. Doors open for them.
Not because they have something special, but because they are aligned with the natural order of things. The universe, my dear friend, is not a cold machine. It's a living organism, an intelligent field of consciousness responding to your vibration.
And when your vibration says, "I am safe. I am whole, I am abundant, the field rearranges itself to confirm that truth. " This is why I say it works very fast because reality is not slow.
It's immediate. Only your doubt creates delay. If you stop doubting for just one day, 1 hour, even and live completely as though you are already taken care of, the shift will astonish you.
I've seen people find jobs within hours, receive unexpected calls, discover forgotten resources, all because they stopped vibrating at lack and began vibrating at trust. You don't have to force it. You just have to remember what's true.
That you are not separate from life. You are life. And life by its very nature is abundant.
Even now as you sit there listening, trillions of cells in your body are working in harmony without you doing a thing. Blood flows, the heart beats, the sun shines, the earth spins, all without your control. So why then do you think money, one tiny aspect of this vast system, should be the exception?
It isn't. It's part of the same flow. You only need to stop blocking it with fear.
So tonight before you sleep, I want you to do something simple. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and say quietly, "Thank you, life, for always taking care of me, even when I forget. " Say it not as a wish, but as a remembrance.
Feel it. Let it soak through your being. Then imagine yourself surrounded by light, warm, golden, radiant.
This is not fantasy. It's a symbolic recognition of what's already true. Feel that light expanding through your heart.
Feel the relief of not needing to figure it all out. Let go of tomorrow. Just rest in the feeling of trust.
And when you wake up, act from that feeling. Smile at the day as if it's already working in your favor. Move as though invisible hands are guiding you because they are.
You'll notice small miracles almost immediately. a message, a coincidence, an opportunity. Don't dismiss them as luck.
Recognize them as feedback from the universe saying, "Yes, you're in tune. " That's how it begins. Quietly, gently, beautifully, and soon the larger things follow.
But the key is this. Don't do it to get money. Do it to return home to yourself.
The money will come as a side effect of your wholeness. Because abundance is not something you attract. It's something you remember.
And when you remember who you are, limitless awareness, the very consciousness animating this universe, how could you ever lack anything? Everything you've ever sought is already contained within you. You are the source from which the rivers of life flow.
So the next time you find yourself saying, "I don't have money. " Pause, take a breath, smile, and whisper to yourself, "That may be what it looks like, but that's not what's true. " Then act from truth.
Walk with trust. Give with joy. Receive with gratitude.
And you'll see it works very fast because the universe doesn't need time to rearrange itself. It only needs your permission.
