Money & Abundance by Wanda Veloz Hello! It’s me, money, your friend. Or at least one of them. But I’m your friend for different reasons than the ones you're thinking of. You see me as whimsical, elusive and mortifying, I know. Or maybe you see me as the grand objective; a saviour; the primary goal in your life. If you have money, you think, you can devote yourself to the things that really matter in life: your dreams, your family. If you have money, you think, you'll dedicate yourself to doing good; you'll buy everything that you need and you’ll finally have peace. And to get me you make many sacrifices: you work hours and hours a day on something that you might not be so passionate about. But you do it because you have responsibilities, or at least that’s what you think. You want / need these material things that will make your life easier, according to you. Then, it’s worth the effort. You have to do it. You have no choice. "You can’t live out of air," you tell yourself. And this is enough to get you out of bed and go to an office (or wherever it is that you work) and you spend eight hours (if you're lucky, they might be more) of your day doing your job. Maybe you’re one of those people who love and live for what they do in their quest to getting a good income. Con- gratulations! But maybe you’re one of those people that don’t love their job that much. Perhaps there was a time when you loved your job. It excit- ed you. It challenged you and that you liked that. And over time, that excitement trailed off. Perhaps it was the work environment that started disappointing you. Or the people by your side that started getting on your nerves. Or maybe it was a boss that slowly broke your spirit. ¿Repetitive work that turned mechanic? ¿Or maybe one day you just woke up tired of it for no apparent reason?. Heck, perhaps it’s a mystery to you why it no longer makes you happy. You simply cannot explain it. But you want me in your life; you need money to live. If you have no money you get in a bad mood, your head hurts, you lose sleep, you worry. You have to fulfil your personal and social responsibilities. Maybe for you, money represents status, success, value.But I’m a vibration in your life. I’ll confess something: I’ve disguised myself as money in order to get closer to you. Truth is, I’m Abundance. Under this façade of goods I adapt to human dimension; expressed in the physical. I’m a higher state of Being. I have other names too: Prosperity, Riches, Wellbeing. That’s me. Pleased to meet you! Your relationship with money is a reflection of how you relate to Abundance. Some have been taught that money is bad; that to have it is to be ambitious and unspiritual. Others have been taught that money is everything, and one must do whatever is nec- essary to get it. There are people who fear money, even if not consciously. "Too much responsibility". "They're going to steal it from me or kill me because of it". "I don’t deserve it, I haven’t
