Clearing limiting beliefs and negative associations about money will remove the blocks to allow abundance to pour more effortlessly into our lives. Getting clear about money is crucial, as we can then focus on sharing our talents and achieving our life's mission.
Wealth is not measured by money alone, but by the abundance of a person's spiritual, mental, and emotional life. Spiritual abundance takes the form of love, happiness, peace of mind, compassion, generosity, enlightenment, and confidence; whereas, properties, fame, money, cars, clothes, and such, are forms of material wealth. A genuinely wealthy person is abundant in both spiritual and material riches. Many of the greatest people in history were not enormously wealthy in material things, but they were enormously wealthy in spirit and heart. Conversely, many spiritually inclined people struggle to subsist and there are individuals who are cruel hearted and still accrue immense material wealth. The most fulfilled and satisfied among us seek a balance whereby the kind hearted and loving are able to have the money and means they require to live a comfortable anxiety free life, so they are free to fulfill their mission and purpose and share their gifts with the world.
This is not as challenging as it may appear to those who are blinded by fear and doubt. A fundamental step is to build an abundance awareness, giving yourself permission to prosper. When we prosper by offering something of merit to another that will increase the quality of their lives; in addition to helping them fulfill their universal potential and offering their talents, etc, then this is known as right livelihood. Right livelihood is advantageous for everyone.
Every now and then, when we see or hear about someone who has already achieved notable financial success launching another new product or business, we may be excused for thinking along the lines of, "why bother, surely they don't need the money. Why aren't they at the beach or on the golf course?" Living a truly abundant life is about being happy and prosperous by doing the work you love. Our talents are intended to be shared with others.
Money is energy that flows to the person who gives us something we want or need. When an individual does not recognize, develop, or share their talents, everyone is cheated, particularly the one who does not share. Abundance and fulfillment comes when we give of ourselves through our talents and abilities. Everyone has talent and everyone can make a contribution to the overall plan. Many never know their right place in the scheme of things, but any person who desires it can find this and prosper as they do what they love.
When we give something of value to another, we can expect to receive something of value in return, if not at once then at the appropriate time. Giving is hard for some, as they think they will lose what belongs to them. While it is true if you have a dollar and you give it away you no longer have the money, if you trade it for something to eat, you have the food and the other has the cash. Giving to charity is beneficial as it softens the heart of the giver and brings them good fortune. There is a spiritual law of tithing that says as we give charitably or give to wherever we are getting our spiritual knowledge and support, we shall be prospered tenfold or more in return. Importantly we must give in advance, not wait until we have plenty before deciding to start.
The cycle of circulation is established by reciprocal relationships. Sometimes we can give love to someone who does not return it, but this too has its value as we learn to be loving and kind to all.
Many use people and love things, but it should be the other way around. Money represents current and future goods and services, but it does not embody love, happiness, enlightenment or any spiritual qualities. Someone with enough money can certainly acquire companionship, but can never buy love or true happiness.
