What Is Wealth After All?

Wealth, prosperity, abundance – it’s all the same.  What is money?  Money is an exchange of energy really – do you think money always existed?  In the old days…very old…if I had chickens on my farm and you had cows and I needed milk and you needed eggs, we figured out a fair trade.  Later on, it got too complex and we didn’t need each other’s goods so we created a system to represent what we had to offer.  This is money.  Money is a symbol of the energy of our services.

Wealth is so much more!  You can have a wealth of knowledge, a wealth of health, a wealth of love to give and have very little money.  Wealth and prosperity are indicative of the good in our lives.  You can have lots of money and very little wealth and lots of wealth and very little money.  The idea is to find balance.

The truly spiritual person trusts that as they follow their heart, help others, work on themselves, change their lives and let go of the need to control, somehow, they are prosperous in the riches of life.  Somehow, the Universe provides and somehow they make it through the tough times.

Tough times – “they” tell us to be afraid, fight for our lives, each man for himself, times are tough.  Yes, it is true – these are challenging times for all – even myself – as a Licensed Massage Therapist – my clients see their body care as a luxury and don’t want to spend their money on massage especially when they’re too busy putting food on their table or gasoline in their car.  Somehow, we make it through – we find other ways, we explore, we better ourselves and are forced to create.

We have unlimited creativity in our hearts.  Some people have the fire to create all the time and love it.  Others have it within themselves and have to have it forced out by life.  Perhaps, you have always wanted to become a nurse, a teacher, etc. but got settled in a job at an early age and the idea of going back to school does not thrill you.  Perhaps, now, with the economy suffering and jobs at a rarity, you finally give in to your lifelong dream and pursue it.  Starting from the beginning is always challenging, but the rewards in the end are plentiful.  Your soul knows deep down what it wants you to do to express yourself from the heart…follow the lamplight in your heart and you will be a great success.

Success is about accomplishment of the soul – it’s not just about money.  Again, money is the symbolism of the energy you are putting out to the world.  Success at the cost of selling your soul is not success and money earned at the expense of others will never make you truly happy – only superficially happy.

You ask – well, this is all fine and dandy, but we have to eat – we have to pay our rent – we have to live.  I say – Pray!  Prayer really works but pray as if your prayers have already been answered.  Pray as you lie in bed at night, pray first thing in the morning.  The big issue is to be careful of what you are praying for!  Your words are so important and how you phrase things even more so – watch how you pray and the words you use because you will get exactly what you expect!  I say “expect” because you might pray for success or pray for huge piles of money but deep within yourself you are already expecting to be poor or expecting to fail.  Perhaps, you really truly despise rich people, are envious of what they have, etc. – you cannot have what you secretly despise – clear that up and you will be free.

And always pray for others to find their peace and happiness – for what you wish on others, comes back to you many times over.
