There’s so much to be said
about wealth. Some people make it all about money and worldly goods, others
make it about the opposite, happiness without money.
What if it has nothing to do
with money, and what if it doesn’t exclude money either?
The other day, I heard Shannon
O’Hara (www.talktotheentities.com)
talk about “Wealth of Being”, and that created such a space of joy and ease in
my life. What if we had the ‘Wealth of Being’? That includes so much more than
money, while also including money. What if we didn’t exclude anything? Not even
money? And what if we didn’t exclude doing from being?
There is a lot of confusion
about what being actually is. Usually, ‘being’ is placed at the opposite of
doing. Could it be that being is so much more than that? What would ‘wealth of
being’ be?
Everywhere around us, people
perpetrate that ‘idea’ of paradise as the ‘not-doing’, in movies, advertising,
in magazines. It’s everywhere. How much of that is a fantasy and not even real?
Is it real for you?
I’m not looking at defining
here what ‘wealth of being’ is. In fact, it really is undefinable, and it will
be different for every one of us. I’d like to give you some tools*, though,
that you could use to open the doors for leaving the scarcity of being behind
and create more awareness of wealth of being and what that could be for you.
Tool 1: What
is valuable and true for you?
Start looking at your points of
view, with openness and honesty, instead of living from lies or fantasies. A
lie could be that the “eternal not-doing” is valuable to you. What does it
create when we live by a lie? When we strive for something that is a lie for
us, we will never really get there. We will create a lot of conflicting ideas.
And, can it create happiness for us if we reach something that is not truly
valuable for us? No. So, we will always make ourselves wrong for not having done
it ‘right’.
Instead of creating conflict
and confusion,
we could start looking at our
points of view. Our point of view
is creating our reality. What is wealth for you? Do you see you as wealthy?
And, is this your point of view? Or did you take it from everyone around you?
What if doing can be enjoyable?
And what if doing is part of
being? Doing from choice, creation and enjoyment, not from force, to-do-lists
and obligations. How much fun can we have with creating our life and living
that inspires us, and the world?
True Wealth of Being starts
with honesty with self. What is valuable to you?
Make a list and write it down.
Tool 2: Be
grateful for everything
True Wealth of Being includes
gratitude, which is being grateful for everything, just as it is. No matter
what there is in your life, would you be willing to see that you created it
with some choices that you made? Once we acknowledge that we created everything in our life,
we can also change it.
As we are grateful for
everything in our life, we automatically do not make it wrong. Gratitude and
judgment cannot exist together. Gratitude is a space, and we can make it a
practice to be grateful for our life, for our body, for our kids, for our
family, job and money.
We will not make anything
wrong, and we will not make ourselves wrong. When you can leave the wrongness
behind , you can create something different.
Each morning, when you wake up,
take 5 minutes for gratitude.
Tool 3: Learn
to receive
This might be the most
challenging part for most of us. What is receiving? The mail? Money? Bills?
Here’s a story of a friend of
mine. She thought she had a problem with money and did whatever she could to
change it. She then received a larger amount of money, larger than what she had
ever received before. It went beyond what she could truly ‘receive’. She had thought
that she had ‘overcome’ her issues with money, yet, when the check came in, she
started to panic. All kinds of points of view came up for her, one being that
others could steal it from her. She had the basic point of view that people
would take her money away from her, so she had to always make sure never to
have ‘too much money’.
We were talking about it and clarifying
her points of view around money and wealth. It was a real surprise to her when
she became aware of them. They were literally hidden from her. We all do that.
We all have hidden points of view that are running our lives. They actually
prevent us from creating what we desire to create.
Once we are aware of our points
of view, we can change them.
True receiving starts with
putting down all your barriers and walls. Would an infinite being require walls
and barriers? No. How much receiving do we prevent by having up barriers? What
if instead we received everything?
Receiving does not mean taking
it. It means we are aware and then, we choose.
Ask each morning “What can I receive today?*”
Tool 4: What
would you like your life to be like?
Here’s a great tool to use:
“What would you like the energy of your life to be like?””
We talked about what’s valuable
to you. If you created your life, the way you would like it to be, what would
the energy of it be? Would there be joy, ease, healthy body, financial wealth?
What if you started asking this question from the space of possibility, not the
space of judgment? So, for now, just observe if you have any resistance coming
up, or any reasons and justifications of why this would not work.
And, are these reasons even
true?
Ask in the morning or on your
way to work “What can I choose today that
would create my life?*”
Tool 5: Function
from a space of possibility
Have you been functioning from
possibility or impossibility? From having it all, or from lack?
Start each morning with 5
minutes of gratitude for your life, gratitude for your body, for your family
and your home, your job and your money, no matter how much there is. Whatever
there is in your life, look at it from gratitude.
And then, ask “What else is
possible?®” and “If I would create my life today what would I choose?*”
Living is a space of constant
action, constant choice. What if anything was possible?
Ask the universe “Universe,
show me, what is wealth of possibility for me?” and allow it to show up in your
life. We don’t usually learn to function from possibility, and it is, for most
of us, a rather limited space of what we have seen and learned from around us.
Yet, is this all there is? What do you know is possible?
What if you are the well of
your wealth of being? What if you are the source? If you care for you, for your
body, for your living, what caring can you be for everyone else in your life?
If you chose happiness, would that choice create a sense of wealth for you?
What choice could you make that
would create the life you would be excited and joyful to live?
Ask each day “What is truly possible that I have never
considered?*”
