100% agree! I quit my job three and a half years ago, cashed out my 401k and had a ball for a year. A small voice in my head, and my parents, said I was crazy. But in my heart I knew I was on my way to financial abundance. Now I'm earning more than double what I was at that job and almost saved up what I cashed out of my 401k.

"The Universe" is just space, dust, vacuum, and rock. If you mean the Creator/Maker/God, He isn't so much concerned with our outward possessions and richness but much more with the inner wealth - possessing His Spirit by repentance and trusting Him for salvation. Any "cosmic" message opposite from this is not of God :D

This is absolutely true. I remember my "ah-ha" moment around this topic. It tends to be engrained in our up bringing. Add to it "surviors guilt" while thinking you won't fit in with your family or close friends keeps you in struggle thinking. This journey or as you state passage, is why I now teach and pour out financial heath to the community that i serve

[@kittywalker2944]

It’s not even hard. I completely changed my life by doing two things: stopped praying ‘please Universe ...’ and started praying ‘Thank u Universe ...’. Also I wrote on a card that I put by my mirror and said aloud at least once a day, with feeling: I am so grateful that I have attracted true love, SO much money and a beautiful home to live in. I have all that now - and so much more, the best is the true love for mySelf. It never hurts to say I LOVE YOU to urself every time u look in the mirror. 💚💜

[@carmenlaragarrett9227]

I think it’s brilliant. I know exactly what you are talking about because I experienced that myself. I used to have a scarcity mentality so much that I didn’t think it was necessary to tithe (I’m Christian) but when I realized that my power, my finances and all that is, comes from a higher power, I learned to let go. I learned what you give always comes back multiplied. The more faith you have in the Lord the smarter wiser and awake you become. It’s beautiful. You’re such a beautiful soul. That’s why you’re so talented and you will continue to grow as your share your knowledge and gifts with the world. I’m so glad KZbin recommended this channel to me. Be blessed 🙏🏻🙌🏼💞

[@maiamaiapapaya]

Did you know that buying expensive clothes is actually the most cost efficient way to live in the long run? Having a wardrobe of a few well-made pieces that go together means having clothes that will last you many years, instead of just a season. It also means that if you get bored of something, you can sell it and use that money to buy a replacement item instead of just throwing it in the trash or the goodwill pile. A good wardrobe pays for itself and is environmentally friendly. Of course, it takes awhile to build up a wardrobe of expensive items if you don't have much to spend on clothes in the first place. I began my journey of abundance mindset with clothes a few months back. I bought an expensive, well-made pair of pants because I said ya know what? the now me is worth it and so is the future me. I'm gonna buy another well-made piece in a few months when I can afford it :)

[@innocent-innergy1055]

@@Pielobyte I totally agree. I primarily shop at Thrifts, especially thrifts in “upscale neighborhoods” here in NYC. I’ve left the store with bags full of brand named items (some with original tags) for very, very cheap. I bought many professional clothing items that are “classy” and expensive, for a small fraction of the original price. Where ever you are.... find out where the “rich people” donate their clothing (and other items) and shop there. Lol. That’s not scarcity mindset. That’s being smart. Let your money work for you. Also, always use cash back apps, such as Rakutan, etc. which allows you to very easily earn cash back on both online and in store purchases at thousands of businesses. My income has risen significantly since I began shopping this way, but I still do it (shop wisely) because it makes sense. Thrifting is a very wise and fun way to shop and save. When I do go to the mall, etc.... I shop the clearance section AND use coupons/cash back app. Sometimes I use the cash back for small indulgences or donate to charities. Using money wisely should be fun.

Alicia has explained in a well rounded summary of how our mindsets and fears which can be shaped by our circumstances or even parents can hold us back from reaching our full potential . This applies not only fo our money matters but also other areas of our lives . Alicia through her own experiences is giving us sound advice - that we should not always deny ourselves the things and pleasures in life , especially if we have earned our rewards , while at the same time we should not live recklessly and waste all our monies . Its important that we should always have some measure of self control and know when to enjoy our money ( indulge ourselves ) and when to curb ouselves .The take-away for me is that the more we give the more we received which applies to all areas of our lives.

Yes

[@samanthatillman7883]

I think this is dope! Affirming: I am living my life with an open palm rather than a closed fist for the rest of my days. No longer blocking the blessings that will come my way.

[@guidetotappingin]

yes!!

[@lisakhiev3309]

Hey Alicia. You're right, it is deep. This is my biggest struggle thus far and I've fallen so many times. I definitely agree with you in terms of the mindset shift of thoughts switching over to abundance! I think the challenge for me is the constant reprogramming and recognizing the knowing that 'I am worthy'. It's easy to say all the things, positively etc but differentiating the negative from positive smoothly each time and arriving at this belief that you are capable has been like a dangling carrot 😳😕 It easier said than done.

[@emilypaussa1124]

Thank you for sharing this personal story. This concept is so difficult for me to understand. I have enough, but I am still living in a scarcity mindset. I'm afraid to lose it all and be unable to provide for my children. But the fear comes from my mind, not my reality. Bless you and all those here. ❤

[@luciasamaras7767]

“The classroom my life is becoming” . . . What an insightful way to see our lives. God bless you!

Jesus, can she be any more beautiful? It’s insane. Inside and out.

[@patricianewman3002]

Universal order must be in play. I opened my computer to apply for a specific job and up pops KZbin and this video. I only watched because I love, appreciate and acknowledge you as an Avant-garde of today days transformation -- and i was fully and wholly blessed by your message. It reminded me to place my conscious energy on success due to the abundance of the universe and not of hope, doubt and fear. Thanks continued success in all areas of life. I know who you are in Truth I know what you are in Truth I know how you serve in Truth.

[@susyporter9212]

I think you are a wise, gentle and powerful blessing for us all. I appreciate your realness, honesty and sincere caring. Listening to you is like being with a best friend who really cares and wants to help. Thank you♥️🥰

[@Brainhoneywalker]

Money flows ... it comes and it goes. Thank you for reminding us, Luminous Soul.🌟

[@missyconley1972]

Girl you do not even know how divinely timed this video is!

[@MetaphysicsEnthusiast]

Divine timing for me too. The spirits running through her because we are not the only two in this comment section who said this. 😇. There are no coincidences in this Universe.

[@carisowles2940]

Thank you so much for sharing a part of your experiences with us I think from all of our own experiences that we have from our past definitely keep us blocked from things that are very achievable and there for us. Definitely the biggest blocker is fear and not having enough or not ever having love or that were worthy to even have those things so thank you so much appreciate you 💖💖💖

[@ginelleskerritt9870]

Abundance versus scarcity is an important shift, but we need to lose the attachment of self- worth to material things and stop equating value with money. Ambundance is truth. And quoting the law of attraction took a turn... focusing on commodifying your worth, expands the idea that your worth can translate to a commodity. The instinct to put it all back was correct. Overpriced items are not intelligent regardless of your net worth, and your instincts were correct. Value for what you get.. quality, not brand, is worth paying for. Your music is high quality and so is your writing. You are a beautiful soul and thank you for sharing your wisdom and abundant gifts. Peace.

[@fanchonfrancis]

My parents never really gave my siblings and I allowance and when we grew up we had to learn to manage our money on our own and it was a struggle for all of us Thanks for reading that to us Awesome 👏🏾

[@taoist32]

You ever observe how your parents managed money? My brother and I got 50 cents for pulling weeds. Not a whole lot of money, but it trained us to work regardless of how much money we were paid. Since then, and it could be my personality, I never overspend and always save.

[@PelayoAF]

U just have to love her she is so genuinely pure

[@trayshana]

Agree

[@lizbethlegacypst1484]

I know right?

[@Deb-of2vq]

Very true! Alicia Keys, I have and will always be a fan of yours. ❤

[@latoniastaten4763]

Alicia, your book passage touched my soul. I have been reframing my thoughts because I own a small business. In the past, I have been given erroneous messages about money. Believing that to accumulate it is to be soulless, selfish, and greedy. Boy, was I wrong! As I continue to grow my business. I have changed my perspective. When we do not exercise the gift of abundance, we will surely become poor. To be poor is the lack of having something, not necessarily money. There are many rich people who are poor and there are many poor people who are rich. I have realized that to have abundance starts with a change of mindset as step 1. Once you realize that you have accumulated wealth in other ways. Then, step 2 happens, you find financial freedom.

[@Jeanneret_I]

That's really CUTE. I can't agree more. There is PLENTY of ABUNDANCE. SCARCITY is a MIND PANDEMIC. And whatever is in the mind is expressed in our physical realities.

[@Butterflysup]

Thank you Alicia ! Shifting from a mentality of scarcity (survival, fear, doubt, pain, defensiveness) to a mentality of abundance (trust, belief, self-esteem, giving others the benefit of the doubt, welcoming people into my life) has saved me, healed me from depression. I feel alive now. Living in abundance, embodying abundance, to me, is what life is about ... Freeing oneself from the shackles of our perceived lacks, not underestimating oneself anymore, giving oneself the space to IMAGINE without limits and actually believing that if we can imagine it, there is no way we cannot live it. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us so much, you embody grace, humility and abundance. A truly wonderful soul. I cannot wait to sip an extraordinary rich cocktail, whilst chatting and watching the sun go down by your side ! Bless you and all of your endeavors !

[@courtneyn.m.1687]

This is so precious. Alicia Keys is either under-estimated or just really good at staying true to herself and keeping down to earth. An angel in our time. I like it, and I'd like to see more of it.

[@ajl2232]

I like how she is real.

[@camarajordan1143]

Yes she is special in a world of materialistic entertainers. I appreciate her consciousness.

[@nadiasebastian4378]

She been that way. ❤. True to self.

[@jillgreene9225]

She is Both❣....The Real Real is Heartfelt, Transparent & Full of LOVE...a true giver🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Tbank U A.Keys❣

[@reallifehomerevealed1957]

*This is absolutely the universe talking to me. I went through a TOTAL life transformation. I literally left EVERYTHING behind. I had been ignoring the call to start two KZbin channels: Real Life Topics Revealed and this one Real Life Home Revealed. I write on Medium and started decorating for a client. I've never felt more in purpose before. None of these have become financially prosperous yet and rent is due soon. I'm praying and believing for a huge financial miracles right now so i can continue doing what i love. Please pray for me. Thank you.*

[@dovetales3]

Life offers us balance as an option. Choose a balanced life.

"When you make friends with money, you will never be broke."

[@senecat8071]

Hmm... can you elaborate on that?

[@boyztomen17]

EXACTLY

[@Hun1223]

This sounds like a Rev Ike quote 🤑

[@julied.9230]

AGREED! We just made up and now we are BFF's! Also thank you Alicia for the well articulated explanation of money as an energy form that does best when flowing in and out.

[@freddebs]

** If you have a friend who is so comfortable financially but not a real and humble friend who nah believe you are equal to them, you will always feel broke around them, unless you have something real going on and they would help you with opportunity rather than sometimes paying for things. Or at least that's a point of view. Wish everyone to find growth and financial comfort to do whatever you wish that doesn't hurt another❤️

[@michaeldrew2068]

Thank you so very much for your kind and compassionate message. It resonated with me so deeply! As I sit here, I too feel the burden, the struggle of scarcity. I have a PhD, tho I'm straight from the trailer...and yes, I still sometimes fear the blessings. Thank you for reminding me to create!

[@commongirlcreations]

Showed up on my feed when I am struggling with abundance thinking I healed those old beliefs but every day, I still spend money as if there won't be enough or isn't enough so I discount, put things back, doing shop...convinced myself I dont need more. Budget and make the exact amount to live, what I used to say, live comfortably but the reality is...I have blocked my own blessings and I have never be closer to losing it all while keeping myself small. Believe bigger. I can afford, I do deserve, I can create ANYTHING and do so quickly when I relinquish the scarcity mindset now. TY

[@robertalea1103]

This was very helpful and on time. I’ve developed the scarcity mentality watching my single mom struggle to make ends meet. I’m growing and learning to trust that God is the source of all my needs and desires. That there is abundance.

[@BoyzInTheHoo]

Her mind is as beautiful as her character, as her personality and as beautiful as her face. We ❤ you Alicia.

[@simpleextrovert]

…and her voice 😃

[@CharlesM84]

No doubt

[@armettalandrum4942]

THANKS FOR YOUR WORDS IM 62 AND THEY BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES -- LOOKING AT SOMEONE LIKE YOU - I THOUGHT YOU ALWAYS HAD IT ALL - WE HAVE TO REALIZE - EVERYONE HAS A STORY - AND I APPRECIATE YOURS -- TIME TO START THINKING IN A DIFFERENT WAY

[@user-bg6ug5id8w]

I absolutely needed to hear this today while reflecting and gracing myself permission to receive positive abundance from Universe. Shifting away from scarcity is scary. Because it’s all I’ve known.

[@eileenlang8345]

My dad is an elder, I just recently lost my mom. With the passing of my mom, it’s like the flood gates of abundance and blessings just opened up. Before she passed away, she gave me her blessings. As harsh as it may sound, it’s like the passing of her helped open up my life for more to come. Though she never supported majority of what I did in my career, she did towards the end and told me to never feel bad for buying things that made me happy and I deserved it because I worked so hard for it all. My most expensive purchase was my singing bowls n I felt so bad for buying them but she saw how much joy it brought me. Thank you for this, Alicia. ❤️ many blessings to you.

[@healingangels9624]

It is so true money is energy we need to change our mentality that we are worth receiving, we attract what we focus on , we need to be ready to receive and the universe will give us what we desire by having that abundance mindset.

[@confidentlycurvy818]

I am filled with an abundance of love 💗 I’m so grateful that this came across my feed when it did. I appreciate these videos so much thank you 🙏🏽

[@cosmicconnection6719]

So true, the UNDOING of the Scarcity mindset is detrimental to quality of one’s future and their mental state.

[@spaceforthesoul6286]

I feel this so. I almost do not spend except at the Second Hand Shop or Marketplace. I love to give away. But when I finally spend my saving on braces - afraid later people would tell me I should save for basic needs- finally I felt so good that I did it. I did it. I deserved. I am almost 40!

[@guidetotappingin]

go girl!

[@trishtonks8238]

Treading lightly on the earth means making ethical consumer choices and not falling prey to greed over need . Buy second hand is a beautiful way to honor the earth ! You are on the right track . And if you have been second hand shopping for years , you know that if you look hard you can find amazingly gorgeous stuff to dress for success .

[@cianalu94]

I reflected on this so heavily today and thankful that I clicked on this video. I recently turned 27 and feel like my dream is slipping away. I often times feel lost and don't know what move to make next because I'm scared. This helped reestablish the notion that we're capable of making our dreams come true. I have a sticky note next to my desk that reads, "ONLY you CREATE the life you want!"

[@empath_wisdom]

THANK YOU! This showed up in my feed at a time when I am making a big shift in my thinking, and it felt healing to hear you describe something I am familiar with and learning to let go of completely. Thank you for sharing the light! Much love!

[@thelizapproach]

Thank you for this, Alicia. I really appreciate this passage! I recently realized that my default answer to almost anything new to me is "no." I'm trying to work out where that came from and I know it needs to change. So, I would have felt the same way, about the $ total and the belt! My life and my girls' lives will be affected by my thinking either way, so it's time to be intentional... I recently saw you and your beautiful family & homes on AD, what a wonderful shift in your mindset! I can't wait to see what is on the other side of this shift for my work in writing. Maybe we'll meet one day and can continue this conversation. Love Always, Liz

[@lixie4you]

Woman I just love you! Always have admired your person and how you have stayed true to yourself in the music industry. Much love and respect sister. From a tiny Caribbean island, I'm sending you loads of sunshine and fresh tropical breeze! Bless up!

[@partlowart8802]

From a Conscious Life Design Systems practitioner of 31+ years, I totally agree: we are capable of designing the lives we want out of the substance of our consciousness. Thanks Alicia for this tune-up session on abundance.

[@timibolu]

I learned so much from this. I am definitely going to change my mindset about my finances. Usually, circumstances around our upbringing inform the decisions we make. We have the responsibility to learn from our circumstances but also to be independent of mind and think of things that make our lives more pleasant.

[@piecesofmyheartwithmichele5404]

I've loved you from the beginning. I struggle with money. I don't neeeed it but in this society I have to have it to get to what I want...To start my nonprofit to help my community and build a sanctuary. I needed this right now. Thank you so much my love. Sending L🕯GHT and L💗VE💘💘💘🤙🏼💯

[@THERaynaKay]

Why am I just learning of her autobiography now?!?!? Time to check how much it is on Amazon! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!

[@empressbeeb]

This is so deep. That was clarity for me, blocking my blessings has to stop today🙏🏾 💎💜

[@fleurdelis2976]

I know this video was posted over a year ago but I wanted to say thank you. I was going through some issues with money today and asked the universe how I could switch my mindset. Five minutes later your video came up and I wrote down some of your insights which helped give me some peace. There’s another tip-talk out loud to the universal energy and it will guide you. Thanks again!

[@94eleven90]

I feel Like i was brought here for a reason and this whole day has been conversations about things i need to work on, being creative and healing , i love how deep she goes

[@curtismmichaels]

I've never heard you speak before. Your soul shines as beautifully in your speech as it does in your music. The message was spot-on. The book is going on my shopping list. I know my husband and I will both get a lot from it. Thank you!!
