Transcending the "Get Money" Mentality

Greetings Readers!

I was checking out al my social media hangouts and I've noticed a lot of "resolutions" revolve around the phrase "Get Money". I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting more money (I'll take all I can get if it's being handed out [smile]). What I think we need to focus on is (1) Our money mind set and (2) reasons for desiring more money.

Many of us want desire (notice I didn't write need here) more money for necessities things like paying bills, clothing, food and shelter. Others want more money simply to acquire "stuff"; this is commonly referred to as "keeping up with the Jones". The majority of what's bought isn't needed; it's for showing off and to achieve a false sense of status and power. What generally happens is these people live their lives to accumulate stuff rather than cultivating a meaningful relationship with money. Therefore, when it's gone or when they feel they've accumulated everything they could want a feeling of emptiness takes hold and it's hard to shake. I know this from experience.

When a I changed my outlook about money several things began to happen:

• I stopped being stressed out about how much money I had and/or when I was getting more.
• It was no longer important to me to have the latest gadget of the moment (I'm a tech head)
• I started giving more and as a result I received more.

I learned along the way that it's not about "getting" money but rather knowing that I'm worthy of abundance and as long as I focus on that I'll never be without what I need. Do I still desire things? Yes, I do. The difference now is I know that if it's something I really need and I focus my intention on it (and it's not for the purpose of harming myself or others) then 9.99 time out of 10 I receive it. So instead of wanting to get money this year focus on gaining a connection with the energy of abundance. You'll begin to see that you receive a lot more that way.

Two things this Monday for Meditate on This:

• I attract all that my heart desires and receive it in Divine time.
• I give freely knowing that The Universe will bring it  back to me tenfold.

Have a PERFECT day!

A Winning Strategy for Success

"There are three things every successful person must possess: patience, persistence and perseverance. Without them your enterprise is doomed before it's begun." – Michael Stagg

Greetings Readers!

I awoke this morning thinking about a conversation I had on Facebook about pursuing one's dreams. Why do we pursue them? What keeps us going in spite of everything and everyone around us demanding that we throw in the towel?

I know that what keeps me going is the belief that what I'm doing will be of benefit to others. In order for me to make my dream a reality I have to be patient and not rush into things without careful thought. I must be persistent and not stagnant in my pursuit of my dreams. Finally I must persevere even when times are difficult.

If we adhere to these three principles of patience, persistence and perseverance this is nothing that we can't accomplish!

My challenge to you is to review what you're currently doing in pursuit of your dream. Ask yourself am I being patient and allowing the Universe to bring to me all the people and resources I need to succeed? Am I being persistent and constantly following my dream or am I procrastinating? Am I persevering through the tough times with the knowledge that what I'm doing is right for me and will be of use to others?

If you answered no to any of these then make the needed adjustments to realign with your purpose and the energy of success.
