2013 SPRING ISSUE | CHOICES 9 ust the word “ money ”

J by itself holds a power over us . We all want it and it usually is never enough for most of us – we want more . How can we create and manifest more of this commodity ? Does it mean we have to work harder or spend more hours working ? Does it mean that we need to look at things differently with a new perspective ? What is the secret ?

Some of us who work in jobs particularly outside the home identify ourselves with our jobs and often find it hard to describe our lives or know who we are outside of our job description . In this outward thinking society where we live , “ doing ” has become so important , and it is often difficult to segregate our “ awake ” time to allow for “ being ,” where real power exists . What do I mean by that ?
It is important to be able to look inward to remember just how powerful we are as the creators of our own lives . Most of us are learning and accepting that everything is energy , and there is such a thing as Law of Attraction where we get back what we put forth , highlighting the knowledge that we alone are the ones who create our ability to bring into our lives more money and financial abundance , among other things .
When we look at some of the beliefs of financially successful people , you may be surprised that it is their inward thinking which has created wealth for them . A significant example is Oprah , who has even created all kinds of media to assist others to create their living in a greater spiritual sense . Let ’ s look at some of the common beliefs that she and many financially successful people have .
1 . They believe they deserve it and believe it is their right and everyone ’ s right to have wealth . They have no doubt about that . This energy carries them forward .
2 . They believe that the Universe will provide them what they want . They understand there is more than enough money and financial abundance in the Universe for everyone , including them .
3 . They allow themselves to receive all they want . They don ’ t have emotions and feelings of not being worthy enough , that they don ’ t deserve it , or have not earned it , that there is not enough money in the Universe for them , and any of the blockages that we create for ourselves .
4 . They understand that by having gratitude and giving thanks to the Universe for all they have and expect to have in the future , they will receive all that is to their highest good .
5 . They don ’ t compare , worry or spend their time thinking about what someone else has that they don ’ t . They know they can have more if they want more .
6 . They understand that money is more than cash . It is services exchanged , it is gifts given or received from family , friends , and sometimes even strangers . It is the
“ underground economy ” that is so valuable to many who can ’ t produce cash but can share their talents .
7 . Money or its equivalent is an exchange of energy and when it is given and received in love , is there anything better ?
Changing your perspective and belief system about money will assist you in living a calmer life without the stress that comes from all the negative thoughts your mind creates . Live your passion , do what you do best , and create your wealth . Try it !
