5 Beliefs I Had to Drop to Finally Receive the Abundance I Desired

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right, but still not receiving the love, opportunities, or success you desired? That was me for years. I followed the strategies, did the inner work, and showed up consistently—but still felt stuck. The truth? I had a mindset full of silent saboteurs—beliefs I didn’t even realize were blocking my ability to receive.

In this post, I’m sharing the 5 key beliefs I had to drop to finally receive the abundance, love, and flow I was craving. These mindset shifts were game changers—and they might be just what you need, too.

Whether you’re manifesting a dream job, deeper relationships, or financial freedom, letting go of these beliefs could be the missing piece.

Belief #1: “I Have to Work Hard to Deserve It”

One of the biggest lies I believed was that I had to hustle endlessly to be worthy of success. Our culture glamorizes overworking—but here’s the truth:

  • Deserving isn’t earned through exhaustion.
  • Rest and ease can be just as productive.
  • Abundance responds to energy, not burnout.

Once I released the need to prove my worth through struggle, opportunities began to flow with less resistance. Receiving became less about effort and more about alignment.

Shifting to: “I’m Worthy Just As I Am”

I began affirming, “I am worthy of good things, even when I rest.”
This helped me align with the idea that receiving is a natural state, not something to grind for.

Belief #2: “I’m Being Selfish If I Ask for More”

Many of us grow up believing that asking for more—more love, more money, more support—is selfish or greedy. I held onto this belief for years, especially as a woman taught to prioritize others.

But here’s what I’ve learned:

  • You can’t pour from an empty cup.
  • Desiring more doesn’t mean others get less.
  • When you thrive, you lift others, too.

By letting go of the guilt tied to receiving, I gave myself permission to expand, and the universe responded in kind.

Reframing: “Receiving Amplifies My Giving”

When I receive fully, I have more to give. Whether it’s time, money, or energy—abundance creates overflow, not scarcity.

Belief #3: “If It Hasn’t Happened Yet, It Probably Won’t”

This one crept in quietly over time. After repeated disappointments, I began to believe maybe I just wasn’t meant to have what I wanted.

But that belief was based on fear, not truth.

  • Timing isn’t rejection—it’s redirection or preparation.
  • Your desires are placed in you for a reason.
  • Past delays don’t determine future outcomes.

When I dropped this belief, I stopped expecting disappointment and began expecting miracles. My energy shifted—and so did my results.

Replacing with: “What I Desire Is On Its Way”

Instead of doubting, I began saying: “Everything is unfolding perfectly for me.”
This opened the door to trust and aligned action, which naturally invites more receiving.

Belief #4: “It’s Safer to Stay Small”

Playing small felt safe for a long time. I feared judgment, failure, and even success. So I held back, thinking:

  • “What if I outgrow people?”
  • “What if they don’t like the new me?”
  • “What if I fail publicly?”

But staying small wasn’t keeping me safe—it was keeping me stuck.

  • Visibility brings connection.
  • Growth brings expansion.
  • Courage builds capacity.

When I started showing up fully, abundance met me there.

Reclaiming: “I’m Safe to Be Seen and Supported”

Letting go of fear allowed me to receive the attention, help, and recognition I had been pushing away. I learned that it’s safe to shine.

Belief #5: “I Need to Be in Control All the Time”

Control was my safety net. I planned everything, micromanaged outcomes, and tried to force results. But control comes from fear—and fear blocks flow.

  • True receiving requires surrender.
  • You don’t have to know how, just what.
  • Trust opens doors control can’t.

When I finally loosened my grip, miracles happened. Things unfolded in ways I never could have orchestrated on my own.

Embracing: “I Trust the Process”

Now, I choose to trust that life is always working in my favor. I still take action, but I allow space for grace, serendipity, and divine timing.

Conclusion

Letting go of these five beliefs didn’t happen overnight—but each one was a doorway to receiving more love, abundance, clarity, and peace.

Here’s a quick recap:

  • You don’t have to earn your worth through hustle.
  • Asking for more isn’t selfish—it’s your birthright.
  • Delays aren’t denials.
  • Playing big is safe and powerful.
  • Control isn’t necessary—trust is.

If you’re ready to receive more, start by examining the beliefs that may be holding you back. Your next level isn’t about doing more—it’s about believing differently.
