once heard that the definition of being rich is not working for money, but
having money work for you. I like that! But just like any big change we want
to make such as regulating our weight, getting in shape, or improving our
health, there are always several quick fixes. But if we want the change to
last, we have to change our lifestyle. Money is the same way. We can always
find a temporary fix, but then we find ourselves in the same situation,
because we haven't changed the way we are creating.
If you would like to make a change in your finances, a basic yet powerful shift you can make is to follow your guidance about where to put your money.
One month I decided to try out the "Ask and you shall receive" quote. I had been wanting to get my car windows tinted for a month, but didn't seem to have the extra money. So, I let it go. It was that same month that I received an extra $200. But, instead of using my intuition and seeing that the money was created for me to apply to my windows, I spent the money on something else. I figured, "Hey! I deserve it!" For several weeks after that, my finances were a mess. I couldn't figure out why there were so many mistakes on my statements, and my income seemed to drop. It was then I realized, I had given away my means! I had started to create the money to have my windows tinted (Ask) and the money followed right away (and you shall receive). But I didn't apply it! So I decided to get my windows tinted, which came to exactly $200! As soon as I did that, the flow of money in my life smoothed out.
Another example involves a friend of mine. He was having financial challenges and had been wanting to fix up his motorcycle for a long time. He told me that he kept getting a few extra dollars a month but that he spent the money on all kinds of surprise emergencies. I told him that the extra money was for those mirrors and that he had better spend the money on them pronto! The money kept trying to come to him, but since he didn't apply it correctly, his finances started to get blocked up! I am happy to say that not only has he fixed up his bike, but also got an incredible raise!
Money and/or the means always follows our goals and where we put our intent. When ever you acknowledge you want something, it's on its way to you. But you need to pay attention to the guidance you are being given. What is it that you are putting off and telling yourself you can't afford, yet you keep getting drawn to it? If you keep telling yourself that, you'll keep creating and recreating that you can't afford it! Every moment is an opportunity to make a new decision and change! Why not start now?
