In this enlightening episode titled "The Gap and the Gain: Essential Insights for Sustained Happiness," we explore a transformative concept that shifts how we measure success and progress in our lives. This principle, distinguishing between 'the gap' and 'the gain', offers a profound framework for maintaining a positive outlook and feeling good about where you are on your life's journey.

'The Gap' represents the space between where we are and where we think we should be—the often unattainable ideals that can lead to feelings of inadequacy and unhappiness. 'The Gain', on the other hand, focuses on recognizing and valuing the progress we've already made from where we started, fostering gratitude and a sense of accomplishment.

This episode will delve into:

• Practical strategies to shift your focus from the gap to the gain, enhancing personal satisfaction and motivation.
• How this mindset shift can improve mental wellness, increase resilience, and foster sustainable happiness.
• Stories and examples that illustrate the powerful impact of appreciating the gains in various aspects of life.

Join us as we uncover the secrets to feeling good by acknowledging how far you've come, rather than how far you have to go. This perspective is not just about celebrating victories—it's about creating a life where you feel continuously uplifted by your own journey.

Today, I Acknowledge I Am An Eternal Being Of Infinite Divine Light.

I am an embodiment of endless love, peace, purity, power & bliss.

Originally and eternally, I am safe, I am secure and I am complete. Being the light that I am, I need nothing, I have already attained everything, and I am free.

I recognize that through time and influences, I came to believe in distorted perceptions about my identity and the world I perceived around me.

I limited my abundance by believing I was just a mortal being, surviving in an external world of lack, limitations, man-made laws.

I now acknowledge that I am a powerful, immortal spiritual being and the world I perceive is simply a mirror of my own inner state of consciousness.

I accept the power within me to change my attitude, vision, words and actions to therefore manifest a new reality around me. I am never a victim. I am the creator and artist of my life and my world.

I am an extremely powerful infinite consciousness and exist before and after death. As of today, I am fully released from any past blockages and fears around money. I forgive everyone who influenced me with their false programming around money and wealth.

I now realize that their beliefs are all about them. They have nothing to do with me and nothing to do with money.

Money is simply an energy of exchange and I can have as much money as I wants by helping others get what they want creating a mutually beneficial win/win situation.

I now CANCEL all false programs about money and wealth. I choose to cancel any and every old false belief that no longer serves me. From today, I am no longer subject to those false ideas. I am free.

I now choose to forgive everyone for their faulty programming. And I forgive myself. I realize ultimate no one is to blame - and I send good wishes for their success and wealth, backward and forwards in time. May all souls be wealthy and free.

I now reconnect my awareness to the unlimited light I am, and draw upon the Ultimate Source of All Abundance, the Constant Ocean of Love, the Unlimited Supply of Pure Light and Infinite Wealth. As I breathe now, I am deeply nourished by this radiant light and love, and I re-experience my own eternal wealth and prosperity as an eternal child of God, the Ocean of Limitless Wealth and Constant Bliss.

I now align with the truth about money and attract money and wealth towards me.

I now take new actions that add massive value to others, and by doing so, I receive the return in the form of money, wealth, abundance and blessings. As I now dedicate my life to helping others get what they want, I attain everything I want - experiencing more and more wealth and abundance each day.

I now align with the truth about money and claim back my power. I am now free from the past, and grateful for my wealth. Wealth is my birthright. Wealth is coming to me now in wonderful ways. From today onwards, all good things I now think and feel become manifest. I am now happy, willing and grateful to enjoy the abundance that is my divine birthright.

I accept that physical wealth is a part of spirituality and I wholeheartedly welcome money and wealth to flow fully into my life now in ALL its wonderful forms.

I deeply appreciate having this abundance of pure money, and I give thanks for money in my life. Money and wealth are healthy, natural and good and there is always more than enough for everyone. From today, I chose to fully align my thoughts, words, actions, relationships and connections with the greatest benefit of all - so that everyone becomes wealthier and happier f
