The Energy of Money and the Power of Service
I came across a post by Lewis Howes recently that hit me right in the heart. He said:
“The counterintuitive reality is that when you focus on who you are and what unique value you can bring in service to the rest of the world—instead of what money will give you—your energy and actions actually invite more money into your life.”
Whew. Read that again. It’s one of those truths that doesn’t just make sense intellectually—it lands in your body. Because deep down, you already know it’s real.
When You Focus on Service, Abundance Follows
I’m currently reading Lewis’s book Make Money Easy, and one of the exercises he talks about is an experiment he did using a simple mantra:
“Money comes to me abundantly and freely. I see it everywhere.”
He repeated it all week. He held the vibration of abundance. And guess what? He started finding money—everywhere.
Why? Because he aligned his energy with the idea that money is always flowing, always around, always available. He wasn't chasing it. He was allowing it. He wasn’t focused on getting rich—he was focused on shifting his frequency. And the universe responded.
Your Unique Gifts Are the Magnet
Here’s the thing most of us forget: money is not a reward for effort.
It’s a response to alignment.
When you lean into your truth—your gifts, your story, your service—you become magnetic. You don’t need to hustle harder. You need to trust more. You need to show up fully as you. Because there’s only one you. And the world needs that.
We think, “If I do more, I’ll earn more.”
But the deeper truth is, “When I express more of my true self in service, abundance flows in rightly and properly.”
It’s not forced. It’s not begged for.
It’s invited.
When You Focus on Money Too Much, You Block It
Let me be real for a second.
There are times I get caught in the loop of thinking about money too much. Worrying about it. Micromanaging it. Wondering where it's coming from or why it's taking its time.
And you know what that does?
It pinches the flow. It tightens up the space that abundance needs to move through.
Money is an energy.
And energy needs room. It needs openness.
When we grip, worry, obsess—we close the valve.
When we trust, serve, align—we open it wide.
Money Is Not the Root of Evil—It’s the Joy of Life Moving Through You
We’ve been conditioned to believe that money is dirty. That it’s wrong to want it. That it's a spiritual cop-out to focus on it.
But here's the truth I’ve come to realize:
Money is necessary to get shit done.
If you're here to help people, build something sacred, heal the world, change lives—you're going to need resources. Money isn't evil. It’s neutral. It becomes powerful based on the hands it flows through and the intentions behind it.
Money is not a sin.
Money is support.
Money is freedom.
Money is energy moving with purpose.
Let It Flow. Let It Come. Rightly and Properly.
Instead of focusing on what money can get me, I’m choosing to focus on what I can give—through my unique gifts, my words, my presence, my vision. I trust that when I’m rooted in truth and service, abundance will meet me there.
I affirm:
Money comes to me abundantly and freely. I see it everywhere.
I serve with love and purpose, and I am richly supported.
It all happens rightly and properly, in perfect timing.
Open the flow.
Open the potential.
Open to receive.
You are worthy of the overflow.
