“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
~ Anatole France
We know what health means. We can probably define wise, easily. But wealth – What does wealth mean to us?
To me – it’s Freedom. The freedom to write, paint, dance, putter in the
garden and play with the dogs. To be creative. To be my unique self. It’s the freedom of new choices and decisions, the ability to lift our lifestyles, take better care of ourselves, and assist others along the way. One of my greatest joys in life is when I help someone on their journey through life and empower them to live with more joy and fulfillment. This is when I feel the highest form of who I am.
So, what about the bills that come with living on planet earth? How do we create wealth and freedom? For starters,
when we think we have “less” we are not in a place of gratitude for that which we DO have. And, when we try to hold onto what we do have out of fear, “more” will not come. Therefore – we suffer as individuals. Universal Laws and principals (like gravity) are at work in our lives, whether we understand them or not. Because of the way universal principals work, we can keep wealth from us, by holding on. When we are holding on, we actually create the opposite effect and in reality, energetically, push it away. As importantly, if we are holding onto what we think is “less”, then surely we are not assisting or giving to others. When we
do attempt to help others while we, ourselves, are coming from a low place, rarely will we succeed – for either of us.
Wealth expands us on many levels. We don’t often hear the good things that people with wealthy means are doing. What we do hear, are stories like Enron, or what Robert Allen would call Endarkened Millionaires.
Sometimes, in an effort to separate ourselves from this darkness, we polarize our own ability to attract wealth. Many of us were taught as children that it’s ‘bad’ to focus on wealth. Wealth in itself is never bad. It is only another form of energy. How we use it makes it appear as good or bad. Where can we better serve the world- from a place of “less” and lack – or from a place of wealth and “more”?
When I write the word Wealth, I want to clarify that I am speaking of financial wealth, and being able to move freely about our lives and having fun and enjoying our lives. I am not being ethereal, writing about abundance and prosperity. These are two words that we may use to cover up the fact that what we want is money, but are ashamed to write “I Choose Money!” Why? It’s what we have been taught that money represents, so we keep money away from ourselves.
Money is a Grand and Powerful Energy! It changes lives and moves mountains! Money is just as much Spirit as is chocolate, puppy dogs and kisses from heaven.
How do we get this Wealth?
We first have to know, that it is does not come to us from our jobs.
It’s not going to come from our day-to-day stuff. It’s not going to come from us living in fear of losing our jobs, fear of not having money, fear of relationships ending, fear of disease.
Wealth will only come from dropping our limits. If we are in jobs that we are afraid of losing, we are limited. If we fear losing our money, we are limited. If we are in fear of losing our relationships, our homes, our health, we are living behind the wall of limits and Wealth will not find its way to our door.
Which Door is that? It is the door of a brand new experience, a brand new event, a brand new person who just plops into our lives and brings the opportunity of wealth. That door will never present itself when that door is located within the Wall of Limits.
What is it going to take to move that door from the Wall of Limits to the Well of Wealth?
Answer: Realizing that our human body is only a dress, a coat. Our personality and ego, is only a dress, a coat. A dress and coat of what? Our Larger selves and our Higher selves. That piece of Spirit, that we all know is somewhere, but we might forget about in our journey on planet earth. As soon as we begin to give some thought to this, then, do you know what will happen?
That Wall of Limits just begins to automatically fall away! It just happens. And when this happens, this is when new people, new events, new experiences bringing us our wealth shows up.
What is the alternative? Continue allowing our personality and egos which are very good energies, to tell us how limiting our lives are going to be. And to let us know, “Nah, our dreams won’t come true in this life time, maybe next time around!”
What is our next step? If you are open to believing what you just read, then the next step has already been taken for you, Automatically!
What I am suggesting is that if we want our dreams to come true, then we may want to consider for one moment, that we are made of more than just our flesh and bones. And that the part of us that we cannot see, that actually IS a part of us, has a better view of our unique self and path than our human self does.
If we would maybe just for a moment consider that we have two parts to us, one that we can see and one that we can not see; and, when we allow the part of us that we cannot see to help us create our dreams come true, then that is exactly what will happen.
Automatically!
AFFIRMATION:
I see the freedom that being wealthy on this planet earth brings me as a sure sign of Spirit flowing in my life.
