Why am I financially struggling to make ends meet?
Why do I spend every dollar I earn?
Why do I always let people borrow or take money from me?
How do I succeed at being financially free on a continuous basis?
How can I learn to have respect for money?
If we can relate to one or more of these questions it is time to turn within for guidance to improve our quality of living.
Money is something we all need because we live in a society that revolves around it. When we don’t have enough money we tend to feel we are at a disadvantage or we are inadequate and when we have a lot of money we feel fulfilled and powerful. However, money will not buy love and is not the answer to all of our woes in life. When we realize money is not the answer to the challenges we face in life our life will begin to change for the better. We have been indoctrinated by society to believe money makes us a successful person.
The first step in taking control of our financial life is to question our beliefs about money. Regardless of how much money we earn and accumulate it will never buy us happiness. Happiness is only achieved with a wholesome belief system. As long as we are motivated for the right reasons, we will attract money easily and continuously. However, when we choose to participate in inappropriate activities with regards to money, money will move away from us. BP is a great example of greed at the expense of all life on land, shore and in the ocean. This is why it is important to question our motives and endeavors and consider the outcome of our desires. When we do things that are good for all concerned, we experience positive results that are sustained. It is important to be cognizant money does not discriminate and must be treated with respect like everything else. As the old saying goes, “never take anything for granted” and this includes money.
If we find ourselves always lending or giving our money away to others who we know are taking advantage of us, this maybe an opportunity for us to begin learning how to say “no”. Initially it is hard to say “no”, but we must learn to say it otherwise no matter how much money we receive, there will always be people in our life taking advantage of us. We must never sacrifice ourselves for others and this also means our rewards in life. A part of becoming stronger within us is learning to say “no”. Life is about being empowered in a healthy manner. To repress ourselves by being what others want us to be is a form of slavery, which permits others to have control over our freedom. The rewards of standing up for ourselves is well worth it. We must hold onto what is rightfully ours and say “no”.
We need to assess our money beliefs because many people believe they will be poor like their parents and because of this incorrect belief they are unable to attract money into their lives. As soon as we replace this erroneous belief within ourselves with knowing we are worthy and deserving of good, we will attract love, happiness and money. There is plenty of money in the world for everyone. We have a tremendous opportunity to correct the inappropriate thinking within us, which separates the rich from the poor. Remember, money is a man-made requirement that has made us all rely on it for our survival.
This is an excellent time to seriously view at our values. If we are in debt we need to see how and why it was created. There are lessons to be learned and now its time to look at our experiences with money and begin change for our financial freedom. Being honest with ourselves will permit us to make empowering changes in our life.
Now that we have reviewed our values and assessed our money beliefs, we are ready to turn within for guidance to transform into empowered and financially free people. Find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably. Breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Place your hands together at chest level in front of you as if you are forming a bowl, palms are facing up with your little fingers lightly pressed together. With your eyes focused on the tip of your nose place you attention on Quan Yin while continuing to breathe and ask for guidance to live in freedom.
