TRUE WEALTH

It's funny. In some of the most critical areas of our lives, we get the least education or wisdom. Parenting, relationships, wealth, and health - what's up with that?

Redesigning a healthy spiritual and creative kinship with money takes time. This may not be the right time. Then again, if money is causing constant unrest, waiting will make it worse. You've waited enough to know things won't change by themselves. You're here for bigger things than wrestling with money.

The sooner you start the journey, the sooner you'll feel some relief and create some shifts toward having more peace with money.

Ask yourself a few questions. These will give you a sense of your money unease factor. Rate yourself low, medium and high to each question.

a) When writing your bills out the last four times, how many times did you feel like crap afterwards - consumed with worry, anger or shame?

b) In the last month, how many times did you lay awake wondering about cash flow OR despairing about the lack of passion in your life? Yes, they are related...

c) Even though you're in a place of what most would consider financial abundance, do you still obsess about possible threats or cash disasters?

d) When it was time to do your taxes, or balance your checkbook, or some other outer money game with a deadline, how much stress did your procrastination and loathing cost you?

e) When faced with a work-related decision, to what extent do you flounder because you're uncertain of your desires, your many visions and your particular mission this life?

f) How many times in the last month did you do something you hated to do, because of money concerns?

g) How many times did a need for money cause you to step out of your usual integrity?

So - if you were to have a wealth physical, would there be bad news?

If you answered more than 4 of these questions with a high rating, you're likely in a liveliness-threatening zone with money. This means you feel yucky or sick about money more than any creative and spiritual person deserves to.

Never mind how that yuck stuff gums up the works, and mucks up your creativity and efficiency. Never mind the amount of fun and love it robs you of. It's draining your life force! Luke - do something! Oh, wait, wrong movie.

Imagine instead - confidence, creative clarity, spiritual alignment. Imagine all of your needs met so you could serve in the way you have dreamed. Isn't it time?
