What have “generational curses” got to do with building an online business you might ask?
Well a lot actually, because if you have any negative “imprints” from your family over money, success, or any area of life in fact, (and chances are good that you have), it can and will hold you back in those areas.
Here’s what Google’s AI says about generational curses:
“Generational curses are the idea that negative patterns of behaviour, trauma, or spiritual bondage can be passed down through families from one generation to the next. These patterns can manifest as cycles of addiction, mental illness, financial hardship, or unhealthy relationships. While some beliefs attribute these curses to sin and spiritual factors, scientific research suggests that trauma and environment also play a role through mechanisms like epigenetics, where trauma can leave measurable stress markers in DNA.”
I’ve definitely had a few conflicting ideas about money and success, for example. My parents were divided with their views over money. While my father tried to instil a working ideology and ethic in me and my brothers, growing up, my mother gave conflicting messages, saying we should do things “for love”.
This conflicting messaging sabotaged core beliefs – I tried to please both parents. For years I had money problems and was never able to hold down a job or decide on my path in life. My brother had a similar path and although we both worked hard at our chosen vocations, money didn’t flow – I was a (mostly out of work) stuntman and my brother became a broke musician!
So it’s definitely worth thinking about your own parental influence. The main caregivers in your early life shape us more than we know. As CJ Jung said “unless you make the unconscious conscious, it will control your life and you will call it fate” ,
Best wishes,
