THE ENERGY OF MONEY

ABUNDANCE GETS YOU TO BECOME MORE OF WHO YOU ARE
For many, the greatest block to manifesting greater levels of money and abundance in their life is actually the fear that abundance will in fact drive them to
become more of who they already are. They fear that it will magnify their shortcomings (as in becoming a mental wreck like multibillionaire Howard Hughes who died alone in rags and filth because his money supported his aberrations).
They forget that it also magnifies their strengths (like Oprah Winfrey, Montel Williams, or Tom Cruise who have been known to be generous with both their money and their time to those in true need).The truth is that money is much like a gun or a knife in that it's results depends on whose hands it is in. The same gun used to defend a loved one from harm can be used to hold up a liquor store. The same money that can be used to get medicine for a dying spouse can be given to a hit man to blow that spouse away. If you cannot trust yourself with receiving more money, the best use you can make of the money you do have is to find out why and solve your disempowering money problems.
YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF YOUR OWN ABUNDANCE
Those in the technical fields know this truth all too well. If they do not like the job they are in and if the technical skills they possess are in demand, they will attract
another, better job quickly and easily. For they are the source of their own abundance: getting and maintaining their skills is the true source. The truth is that everyone has something which they can do well. Finding out
what that special skill is means looking no farther than to what they like to do or what they can do particularly well. For it is the joyful exercise of God given skills
and abilities which leads to the greatest abundance of all: happiness and money!
DO WHAT YOU LOVE & THE MONEY WILL FOLLOW
If you have never read the book by Marsha Sinetar, "Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow", I strongly recommend that you do so. Trust is the key to this
process working and it is a process.
To do what you love, you must first find what that is. Once you have found it, you must honor it by doing it wherever and whenever you can. Once you have
honored it, you must pursue it if you truly wish to succeed. By pursuing it, you must love it with your heart and soul.
If you do not love your work, you will not be able to push through the obstacles and barriers that arise so that you can see the gifts they are trying to bring you.
What makes this happen is the trust that you can succeed, that you deserve to prosper, and that the support you need will come to you. This is where faith in "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" pays off.
AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE KEEPS MONEY FLOWING
It is amazing to me how many doors the words "Please" and "Thank You" can open. It is even more amazing how often people fail to use these simple keys to
success to open doors for them. Think about how you feel when someone thanks you: how it motivates you to do more for them. This is how the universe works as
well: the attitude of gratitude keeps the abundance of the universe flowing in endlessly.
Victoria Pendragon said it best: "All of life is an energy exchange. If we did not eat things that were alive, we would perish. Likewise, all effort extended is extended for a reward. The reward may be psychological, spiritual, or financial, but without something coming back to 'feed' us, we would eventually have to stop
extending the effort. We would just run out of energy."
BE READY TO MOVE TO YOUR HIGHER PURPOSE
Think of the richest people in the world who you see doing work. What motivates them to keep on going long after they have abundant money for all they want and
need? Like anything else, it is love. For it is love that draws people inexorably to their higher purpose.
Take Oprah Winfrey's show for example. In the beginning, the show was like most other talk shows about the racy, the unusual, the titillating. Then, after
awhile, the show grew successful and evolved into the exploration of more meaningful and uplifting topics.
This was a conscious choice on Oprah's part and although it led to less "success" ratings wise, she was moving ever closer to her higher purpose thereby gaining more "success" from a universal perspective by spreading higher consciousness to the masses. In the final analysis, that is what all of us are here
to do for one another: to help one another find God as we all journey back home.
