Bedazzled

Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes. – Roy T. Bennett

Have you ever found yourself chasing the shiny things? Do you jump from one pursuit to another because you have quickly lost interest with what you are working on? Why do you sometimes become bedazzled by what's just beyond your reach, getting sidetracked into pursuing it when you're trying to focus on something else? Dissatisfaction can be a creative state, but it can also be a distraction from going deeper. Remember, you have to go below the surface if you want to find the true gems.

Either you are the master of your world or it masters you, pulling you from one undertaking to the next. You can either be the chess piece moved around in the game of life or the chess master who does not fall prey to alluring traps. You have to see things as they are and, sometimes, sincere people are sincerely wrong. Take time to reflect and listen to your heart before chasing after something else.

Spiritual Contemplation: When did you chase a ‘sparkling opportunity’ that pulled you away from what you were really supposed to be doing? What did you lose? Was what you gained worth it?

Affirmation: I choose wisely from the choices presented to me!

Be Intentional About Your Prosperity

Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature. – Steve Maraboli

Living a spiritual existence includes all aspects of your life, including your finances. When you dedicate yourself to a spiritual path, you no longer operate under the world's laws and limitations, instead you fall under the laws of the Spirit. This means that your financial circumstance is the same as your health, relationships, creativity, and work life. You are called to be proactive in creating the inner mindset of abundance and possibility to manifest the experience of prosperity in your experience.

Being intentional and proactive in your financial life empowers you to build a strong foundation for your future and increases your ability to weather any financial challenges that may arise. Taking charge of your finances cultivating an abundance mindset and understanding the principles of prosperity. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions that can lead to a sense of security, freedom, and abundance in your life.

Spiritual Contemplation: How intentional are you in your finances? How can you work proactively to build your abundance mindset and trust of yourself and the Universe?

Affirmation: I trust the infinite nature of the Universe and embrace my abundance and prosperity in all ways.

How Comfortable are you with Money?

Your wealth is hiding under the very thing you are afraid to do. It’s time to face your fears and take action. Expect Miracles. – Joe Vitale

How comfortable are you with the subject of money? Most people are not comfortable talking about or dealing with issues around money because they have been programmed with limiting beliefs about money. These ideas may sound familiar to you, including “Money doesn’t grow on trees,” “You have to work hard for every penny,” “Money is the root of all evil,” and so on. These limiting beliefs cause fear in various ways, including stress, anxiety, confusion, frustration, anger, etc. Though it is easy to become consumed with these fears, we also have an opportunity to elevate our perspective and transcend our fears about money.

Overcoming the fear of money and embracing abundance requires addressing your limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns. This process includes looking closely at where you are now financially and how you got there. Diving into your mind state about your self-worth and fears about money will reveal where your blocks lie. Developing a healthy financial mindset through prayer, gratitude, and education will support you in moving forward in a new way. Money is just money. It is a tool you can use to fulfill your goals and isn’t anything to be afraid of. By acknowledging and working through the fear of money, you can open yourself up to the abundance life offers and create a more fulfilling and prosperous journey.

Spiritual Contemplation: How comfortable are you dealing with financial issues and money? What messages did you receive from your parents about money? How do you want to be in relationship with money?

Affirmation: I love money, and all it can do to help me fulfill my dreams!
