Money does not equal happiness, but the lack of money almost always leads to extreme discomfort, stress and unhappiness.
Money can be the cause of great stress and anxiety or an excellent way to purchase the luxurious illusions of peace, security, and comfort. Money matters! Having enough is important. Having more than enough is enjoyable, and the abundant overflow can be an opportunity to do more for, and give more to, others.
How long is it going to be acceptable to merely survive, financially, before we decide to begin to thrive?
Money can help us and those around us to enjoy an improved and more fulfilling lifestyle. It is not meant to be our only focus or pursuit in life, but it certainly can be one of the many.
Constant improvement and self-development will eventually NATURALLY lead us to financial success, because the more value we add, the more valuable we become. Our inside world, and the level of conscious we project into reality will directly correlate with our outward abundance.
Success in the financial world is something we will attract by the person we become.
It has been said that money is a multiplier, or even a magnifier. More money makes us more of who we identify as. If we are cruel, more money will enable us to be more cruel. If we are generous, giving, and kind, more money will empower us to be more generous, giving, and kind.
One of the biggest tools that helped us for financial freedom and success with money is the book, “The Total Money Makeover,” by Dave Ramsey. My wife and I purchased the audio version to listen to together. Listening to that book and following the advice helped us immensely. It got us started onto the important journey of financial recovery. Another book that has been a light in the darkness is, THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR. There are MANY books, podcasts, and other useful sources of financial advice.
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT TO READ A BOOK IS TO MEDITATE WITH THE AUTHOR.
THE LANGUAGE OF LETTING GO, by Melody Beattie, contains a short read for every day of the year, and has been my favorite empowerment tool I have used consistently for YEARS to up-level my inner world. I HIGHLY recommend getting and reading this book DAILY. In fact, it was this book that inspired me to write MY DAILY PERSPECTIVE SHIFT.
WE ALWAYS GET MORE OF WHAT WE FOCUS ON. WE ALWAYS GET MORE OF WHAT WE ALLOW. WE DESERVE THAT WHICH WE TOLERATE AND ACCEPT, BECAUSE WE ARE THE ACTUAL CREATORS OF OUR FINANCIAL DESTINATIONS.
We can choose to plan for and work towards financial freedom. No one wants to be a financial burden on others. Only WE know the best ways for us as individuals to do this.
Remember: If we don’t KNOW better, we can’t DO better. The same things don’t work for everyone, but isn’t it worth trying something that has worked well for others?
Jim Rohn said, “Success is not something you pursue, but something you attract by becoming a better person.” This is also true when it comes to financial abundance.
If we continuously strive to consistently be and do our best, and work towards constant self-improvement, our best will consistently get better. We will improve. We will add value to EVERY area of our lives, and that will attract not only what we need but everything we want, plan for, work for, hope for, and dream of.
We are co-creators with the Universe, and our lives are 100% OUR responsibility.
Today’s challenge for myself: Today I will think on and come up with a plan to better my financial situation in some way. I will seek out those who have been successful in this endeavor and learn from THEM.
Once we financially recover, we can begin to really THRIVE with our finances, and INVEST. I have been blessed to meet and get to know a financial advisor, who has helped and further educated my wife and I on future possibilities for extreme financial abundance. He has helped MANY people become more financially aware, repaired, and abundant, and I highly recommend learning more from this man.
