Do you ever worry about not having enough money? For living, for that holiday, for retirement …… I know, I can sometimes get caught in the scarcity fears – by the way, if you don’t, please let us know your “secret”?!!
Yet I know that when I think poor, I am poor, and when I think abundance, I notice abundance. Does this make any sense to you?
We are taught to regard money as the means of being wealthy in our culture, and also to always feel as if we don’t have enough.
Yet we live in an abundant world, where happiness comes from snowdrops flowering, not from money in the bank. Snowdrops herald the arrival of Spring, first signs of new growth. Money in the bank causes us anxiety, as interest rates go down and it loses value even when we have it.
What would happen if we decided to be rich and enjoy the abundance of the world, instead of worrying about money? Maybe then it would be put back into perspective. It’s one of many forms of energy that we can share in. Perhaps if we paid attention to some of the others, we would reduce the fear, and allow the money we need to come our way!
Just as the fear of losing a relationship can often be enough to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, perhaps the fear of not having enough money is the reason why so many of us seem to not have enough!
Why not experiment with putting money worries to one side for a month and instead enjoy the abundance of new growth in Spring, laughter with friends and the exuberance of children?
Homework :
- Buy yourself a small present to make you smile, no matter how poor you feel this month.
- Notice what makes you happy that doesn’t require money.
- Bless what money you do have and then give a little of it away!
