From Powerless to Powerful: How to Stop Chasing Money and Start Becoming Abundance

Have you ever felt powerless—especially when it comes to money, success, or your life’s direction? If you’ve ever believed that financial freedom was out of reach or that abundance belonged only to the lucky few, this message is for you.

I’m Peter Abundant, aka Dr. Abundant—Ph.D., ordained minister of Metaphysical Sciences, and author of The Enlightened Shadow and Spiritual, Not Religious. I’ve lived through poverty, confusion, and a sense of limitation that felt unshakable—until I discovered the truth: you are not meant to chase money. You are meant to become abundance.

The Childhood Shift That Changed Everything

One of the most powerful memories I have is when my mother told me, “You know we’re not rich, right?” I was around 12 years old. Before that, I believed we were. That one moment planted a seed in my subconscious: lack.

Parents—pay attention here. What you say to your children shapes their reality. You may mean well, but every word is energy. It becomes belief.

That belief stayed with me for years. Even though I was spiritual, even though I felt connected to God, I constantly felt lack when it came to money. My confidence in every other area—love, health, purpose—was strong. But finances? I always felt like something was missing.

The Problem: Chasing Money Instead of Creating from Power

Like most people, I was told to pick a “career that makes money.” So I tried computer science. Then speech pathology. Then barbering. Then massage therapy. None of it was fulfilling. I wasn’t lazy—I was just disconnected from my true self.

What I didn’t realize then was that I was never meant to chase money. I was meant to express the abundance that was already within me.

Your power comes from recognizing that you already have what you need. You are equipped with talents, passions, and gifts that are designed to create prosperity when you trust them.

The Turning Point: Spiritual Alignment with Abundance

When I stopped trying to fit into someone else’s idea of success, I started owning who I truly was. I began to see spirituality not just as a practice, but as my purpose. Teaching, learning, and sharing spiritual truth is my soul’s work—and when I committed to that, everything changed.

Abundance showed up. Not because I chased it, but because I aligned with it. The more I embodied my purpose, the more doors opened—financially, creatively, and emotionally.

What You Must Understand About Power

You’re not powerless. You’re distracted.

Social media, comparison, cultural noise—they all pull you away from your own divine guidance. But your purpose is whispering to you through your passions, your curiosity, your unique gifts.

Money is just energy. And you attract it not by chasing, but by becoming the version of you that already has it.

The Inner Work That Transforms Everything

You must move from victim to creator. That shift starts with:

Recognizing you’re no longer available for lack

Embodying the identity of the powerful version of you

Setting boundaries that protect your energy and focus

Owning your gift and using it in service to others

You don’t attract what you want. You attract what you are.

So if your inner story is filled with fear, doubt, and scarcity, that’s what shows up in your life. But when your inner story shifts to power, purpose, and abundance—you’ll watch your life transform.

The Truth: You Are the Mechanism That Prints Abundance

You are not the paper. You are the press. You are not the dollar bill. You are the frequency that produces prosperity. Your power is not outside of you. It’s within your consciousness.

Once you stop seeing money as something “out there” and start seeing it as an extension of your creative power, you’ll stop hustling and start aligning. And in that alignment, abundance flows.

Your Invitation:

Start telling a new story.

Start acting like the version of you who already lives in abundance. Set your standards, shift your mindset, and trust your divine design.
