Money is the Route to Freedom

 

Money is the route to freedom. It gives us freedom to do what we want. It takes away fear.  It’s what will give you all the tangible things you desire.

Desiring money tends to get a bad rap but that typically comes from the viewpoint of how you were raised and what influenced you when you were growing up.  You may have been brought up to believe that money is the route of all evil or that money doesn’t grow on trees. The fact is money is energy and it doesn’t care what you do with it.  It isn’t money that gives money a bad rap but the entity that uses it. It makes you more of what you already are.  Therefore, the guy who is greedy by nature will become greedier if he has more money.  Likewise the person who has always been a compassionate person will find more ways to show their compassion.  The bad rap emerged because history is filled with people, companies, and government that have used it for power or control and nobody likes that.  It also can be viewed as a source of security.  However, all these viewpoints come from a place of fear whereas when it comes from a place of freedom it’s coming from a love based emotion.

The word freedom means not to have an attachment to something; free to come and go with no limitations or restrictions.  Therefore, if you’re holding yourself back from being all that you can be because you think it will change you, ask yourself if you like yourself just the way you are, more money will make you more of what you already are.  What great things could you do and be if you had more money? What could you do to help out people you care about if you had more money like buying a new house for your Mom or sending your parents on a European vacation? You would have more choices, more fun.

If you haven’t noticed, most celebrities, professional athletes and business owners have a favorite cause or charity that they are involved in. They are grateful for what they have and want to share what they can with others.  Money for them has been a route to freedom, freedom to do and be what they choose.  Now, wouldn’t you like to be on the route to freedom?

What You Attract is What You Are?

What You Attract is What You Are?

You don’t attract that which you want but that which you already are.  Therefore, if you want to attract what you want, then you must be that.

In a practical sense, it’s always been said that you should dress for the job you want not the one you currently have and that those who already are doing the job get the promotion.  Our wishes and prayers are gratified and answered only when they harmonize with our thoughts and actions.  You get what you justly earned.

Another way of looking at it is by the saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.”  It’s not by accident that like people hang together, they’ve found a group that is like them at that moment in time.  Even if it may appear that the person doesn’t belong to a group, at some level there is an attraction to it. At times it could be strong like a magnet and other times it could be a slight tug.

People hang together because it makes them feel good about themselves. They’ve found others that agree with their values, goals and views.  However it doesn’t mean that it can’t be changed, it can, if the person chooses to make the change.  A smoker hangs out with other smokers because they have something in common.  At first they may not have much else in common but then slowly they develop a bond because of the habit.  A group is formed.

But before all this action takes place there had to be the initial thought to begin with.  It means the person had to have the thought to even pick up a cigarette and then the opportunity arose to make the action possible.  This scenario is played over and over for any kind of example you can think of be it for a behavior or action.  The thought comes first and then the action. Therefore, if you want better outcomes then you have to have better thoughts.  As it proclaims in the Book of Proverbs (23:7) “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”.

There’s no Such Thing as Luck

There’s no Such Thing as Luck

What we call luck is actually the universe lining up to give the recipient what he has already envisioned. He not only has envisioned it but taken action on it.

It’s not luck that he got the job he wanted.  He worked at it bit by bit and positioned himself into it.  He verbally talked the talk and physically walked the walk. You probably have also done this but without the same results. 

Another part of this equation is he acted “as if” it was already his. He didn’t know how or when or even if this was the job for him, all he knew for sure is what it would look like when it presented itself. Lastly, when it did present itself he was willing to receive it.

What you want doesn’t always come to you on a silver platter. Sometimes it’s disguised as a setback or misfortune and just when you’re about to make an about face things begin to align in your favor.  That’s how it works.  That’s the Law of Attraction in motion.

Luck is you having a vision, focusing on it, believing in its manifestation, taking action and willing to receive it when it comes your way.

What’s Holding You Back?

What’s Holding You Back?

Do any of these statements sound like you?

·        I just can’t seem to get motivated to move forward.

·        I’ve been meaning to do that but I just haven’t got around to it.

·        I’m concerned about our financial situation.

·        I need a few drinks to calm me down again.

What do all these statements have in common ………….?  Give up?

They’re all based in fear.  Depression, procrastination, worry and addictions are all based in fear.  The fear could be just about anything like fear of success, fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of the unknown to name a few.

When you’re in the state of fear you’re on the opposite side of the Principle of Polarity.  The Principle of Polarity basically states that there is an equal and opposite of everything.  It’s a universal law.  Therefore, just like there is hot/cold, black/white, up/down, question/answer there is love and fear.

Yes, the opposite of love is fear. You see there are really only two emotions; love based or fear based emotions.  If you’re not in a love based emotion then you’re in a fear based emotion and it’s easy to figure out which one you’re in.  Of course there are varying degrees to an emotion just like there is in hot/cold and black/white etc.

So what are some of these love based emotions that you want to strive for? They are feelings like; appreciation, kindness, joy, hope and optimism. The fear based emotions are just as easy to identify. The words alone have a negative connotation to them.  They are feelings like; sorrow, anger, discouraged, irritated and blame.

The first thing you need to do to change your fear based emotion into a love based emotion  to find happiness is to become aware of what you’re feeling.  Is it worry or procrastination? Identify which feeling based emotion you are feeling. Once you’ve figured that out you need to go deeper to figure out what you’re actually afraid of.  This may take some time but if you’re truly honest with yourself the answer will come.  All the outward signs of fear (worry, depression, addiction) are a cover up for something else that you don’t want to address.  It’s only when you figure out what the true fear is and take steps to resolve it do you truly begin to move from fear to love. 

There is a really good book in regards to this called, “Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway”, by Susan Jeffers PHD.
