Dotty Scott argues that settling for less comes from feeling unworthy, and that reframing money as neutral energy and building happiness now instead of waiting for it later dissolves limiting beliefs and opens new possibilities.
They settle for less cuz they don't feel like they're worthy. There's a bunch of stuff about money being bad. It's money's got a bad rap. That's not true. Money is just energy, you know, and we, it's what the meaning we put on things, like the meaning we put on failure, right? We failed at this when it's just another chance to do something different, maybe even something better. A stepping stone. Um, and the thing about all those different things, it was great to try those things and it's good to have that knowledge, but it didn't really bring me joy. It didn't make me happy. And so one of the things that's really crucial to know is that a lot of people have this, they have this template. I'll be happy when I'll be happy when my business launches or my program launches or my book sells, or I get this certain amount of clients or I have the partner that I love, or I have the car, or I have the house, or I have the motorboat, or whatever it is, right? But the thing is to be happy now, to feel good in your own skin now. And then things just start popping, like manifestation starts popping, and then you can see all the possibilities that are available to you where before you might have been blinded. By some limiting belief about your own worth and not feeling like you deserve that thing, so you wouldn't even see that it was possible for you.
