Creating Your Wealth
Creating Wealth is like
Building wealth is an inside job that requires lovingly tending your soul because judgment is a soul-killer. It starts with you, your true desires; being the real you and all that you are. What's in the way of money finding its way to you, enabling you to accumulate enough $$ and live life to its fullest and so your soul is fully expressed? It's what you believe about yourself.
If those words make you pivot to questioning "what is wrong with me?" -- PLEASE don't, because nothing is wrong. What we believe about ourselves and how we care about ourselves have been learned and/or taught to ourselves by parents, family, lovers, friends, and culture. The evidence is there, if we stop for a moment, get present and feel and reflect. Do you love and adore yourself? Do you expect beautiful results when you make a meal or work on a project? Or, are you critical of yourself? Is the outcome ever good enough, where you exclaim, "That's awesome!!"? With the realization that we live our lives according to what we believe, with that awareness, we do have a choice about what we think about ourselves.
Who is your juiciest self? That yummy person you love? It doesn't serve anyone to be poor or unexpressed. Being in the vibration of what you truly desire . . . You can start anytime and anywhere.
Awareness, via self-care, really loving yourself, unconditionally, is the first step to building wealth. With that belief that your life is bright and promising, you will save for your future, putting away money for yourself first. You’ve heard the expression ‘pay yourself first’. That comes from a loving, not a selfish place. No matter how many things you buy via retail therapy -- those things will not fill that void (you feel) but don't recognize -- up until now. If you don't love yourself, you naturally come from a place of lack. If you don't / can't trust yourself, you naturally want to fill that void (with things or put-downs to others). And when you don't fully and unconditionally love yourself, it is impossible to love and/or trust others.
Do you know your heart's desire? Does the universe/God know your inner-most yearnings? The desire that puts a smile on your face and makes you feel delicious? Not the goal (desire) that squelches those hurt feelings that linger from the
Have Vision and love that vision.
Have Intention (giving your attention, not distracted).
Have Faith (believe ) and gratitude.
Are you present and able to receive what is coming to you? Or, are you distracted, thinking about the past or the future, protecting yourself, not trusting yourself to be present.
Surrender is letting go, not giving up. Are you willing to change and start creating your wealth as you tend your own garden and nurture the beauty of your soul?
It is up to you.
