I was talking to an acquaintance who has been very successful in business. For her, there seems to be a lack of acknowledgement of the love that she feels from her mother. Not for her mother, but from her mother. Her mother grew up feeling lack financially, and even though her mother was a hard worker and able to create a good sustenance financially, for some reason she projected unconsciously, all this lack from her upbringing to her daughter. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t love her, because I know she does.
Her daughter, my friend has overcompensated, by creating a life filled with so much joy, so much love and generosity of spirit for a tremendous amount of people, including a tremendous amount of financial stability and financial wealth. What she feels still in her heart, is a sense of lack, because she thinks she is needing acknowledgement from her mother to feel filled.
Now when the wounds came up again, she’s is attempting to let go of this pain (feeling lack) and of needing acknowledgement from her mother and seeking other ways to feel completely whole inside. That old dusty and cobweb feeling of lack manifests in relationships and other ways. I told her that she is capable of enjoying the wealth she has created for herself once she just lets go and lets God –letting God handle whatever conflict she has of her own inner feeling of lack, and lack of acknowledgement for who she is, not for what she has accomplished. Deep inside, all of us are human beings, need to feel that acknowledgement of who we are, as a living, breathing entity and that is the greatest gift we can give ourselves – valuing ourselves for WHO we are, not for WHAT we are.
We can acknowledge it within ourselves and then let go of the need to be acknowledged by someone else. It has nothing to do with money. Its how we feel the treasure inside ourselves.
