Losing The Poverty Mentality

Many, many people today think that being spiritual means you have to actively shun money and live the majority of your life trapped in abject poverty…

In fact they truly believe, that money is the root of all evil – or at least – the love of money is.

And I find that to be sad – very sad indeed.

You see, almost every day I receive emails from people telling me how spiritually motivated they are…

…and how dedicated they are to helping others.

They then go on to tell me, usually in some great depth, how wrong people are for charging people for healing.

“Healing is a God given gift”, they say. “It should always be given for free”.

But why do they only believe this about ‘healing’ and anything to do with spirituality?

Surely, as self confessed ‘spiritually motivated’ people…

They must be able to figure out that, ultimately, absolutely everything in life would have to be a ‘God given gift’ too.

Meaning…

The accountant, with a ‘God given gift’ for numbers…

Or,

The comedian, with a ‘God given gift’ for making us laugh…

And,

The conventional doctor, also with a ‘God given gift’ for healing…

Would have to work for free too.

But no, it’s quite okay for them to earn a living, it seems. Apparently it’s only us spiritual types who have to work for free – to be poor and to be very needy.

Somehow this is supposed to make us all the more ‘spiritual’.

Well, I’m sorry, but I take great exception to this faulty way of thinking.

Our universe is a wonderfully abundant place.

There is more than enough for absolutely everyone.

And it is truly marvellous to share it all.

But, if you don’t have anything yourself – how can you do this?

What good can you really do, that doesn’t require at least some money?

You can’t buy medicine for anyone who needs it.
You can’t buy them any housing.
You can’t buy them any clothes.
And you can’t even buy them any food.

So, what sense does it make for us all to live in poverty too?

Wouldn’t it make much more sense for all the spiritually enlightened of us to become mightily wealthy and then help others with this wealth…

It certainly does to me.

So that’s what I propose.

When an opportunity comes along to improve your life and financial situation – grab it!

When an offer of real help comes along to change your circumstances – grab it!

Nurture the spiritually rich mentality

For life becomes much freer altogether…

Just as the universe intended it to be.

I believe I have talents that are unique to me and I capitalize on them.

If you have a natural talent, then you do the same.

For when you follow your nature, and the spirit of who you are, then you love what you do and it is not work.

It is a joy, it’s fun, it’s great to get out of bed in the morning.

And because it’s the spirit of who you are it is a clear demonstration of your innate spirituality.

The amazing by-product of this wonderful fun is that you get rewarded… people pay you.

Just like a mechanic who loves tinkering with cars.

Or a landscape gardener who loves working with plants.

Or the farmer who loves and cares for the land.

If the mechanic fixes my car – I pay him.

If the gardener makes my garden beautiful – I pay him.

If the farmer grows my food – I pay him.

Because what goes around comes around, and money is a currency that works best when it flows freely.

If a priest says mass, he gets paid.

If the doctor heals you, he gets paid.

I have spoken about giving and receiving before. I cannot give if I cannot receive. It is as simple as that.

Being spiritually poor sucks, does no-one any good and frankly is as far from spiritual as you can get.

Remember, if you really want to help others, to give generously, not just of your time – but to really make a difference – then look out for opportunities that lift you up and give you financial freedom.

Financial freedom gives you the power to change things for the better.

Don’t knock it, or those who have it…

Embrace it instead!

Follow in their footsteps.

Imagine what you could do with a few million

And don’t say, “I’d give it all to charity”, for that only takes your power away from you.

A truly spiritual person is wholly responsible for their actions, and they don’t give their power to anyone.

A truly spiritual person is a leader…

Strong, supportive, loving and has a generous heart and nature.

They are spiritual because they live by the nature of their spirit.

I know which type of spiritual person I’d rather be

But it always comes down to personal choice.

So remember, when opportunity knocks to change your life – grab hold of it.

When an opportunity knocks that feels right for you – grab hold of it.

When opportunity knocks to further you financially, don’t shun it…

Embrace it, have fun, enjoy, laugh and that in itself will start to change the world.

Magic!

Sharing my warmest regards as always

Judith
