There is something about the phrase – I can’t afford it – which uniquely sums up the negative feelings and responses that most people have about money. Every time you say and think it, you are sending out a message to the universe that you are short of cash and the chances are – that situation is not about to change any time soon.
If you are looking at a showroom at a new sports car, or checking out a penthouse flat in a major city, the likely reality is that you definitely can’t afford it, but that doesn’t mean that things won’t change - and when they do, you might well be able to buy those items at some time in the future – should you so choose.
Simply by saying and thinking I cannot afford it is about as final as it gets. There are no grey areas, no wriggle room or confusion – you have declared to the universe that you simply have not got the where with all to purchase that item - not now, not never.
So what are you going to do about it? If you are watching this video I suspect you would like a little more money in your life, but before we talk about changing your thoughts let’s concentrate on that damaging phrase and see if we can eliminate it for ever.
Every time you say or think – I can’t afford it – then look for a substitute. Try these for size, choose one that you feel comfortable with, or make up one that works for you, but vow never to use that damaging, negative phrase ever again.

stuff – that’s the common sense bit. Once you are happy with the order – destroy it. The universe has got the message and for it to succeed you now need to forget about it – if you keep thinking about that order you will be telling the universe that it has still to arrive – and it never will.
