I will start this with a story about one very wise man who was walking trough a village and found a man who had an enormous wealth, many children, a lot of cattle, a big house and a man complained to the wise man that he can't handle and control all of that wealth and asked him what to do to in order to stop that abundance. Wise man told him - stop being grateful.
Next man he found was so poor that he was sitting naked, with just a little sand covering his private parts. Man was constantly complaining, saying that he has nothing and asked wise man what to do to improve his state? Wise Man told him - be grateful.
Poor man jumped on his feat yelling “What is there to be grateful for?” and in that moment wind blew away even the sand that was covering his private parts.
Gratitude is Abundance and Complaining is Poverty. When we are Grateful we are attracting more abundance in our lives, also by complaining and being negative, we attract more negativity.
All we want for ourselves is to have an easy and great life, but when you look at it more closely, we have it! So many things that were considered a luxury only a few decades ago are available to us by only pushing a button. We have electricity, phones, gas, internet, but when we get the bills for all of that, we feel it is hard for us to pay them. We live in all this abundance, but we are mostly unaware of these blessings and really ungrateful. Most of the time we are complaining about things and by putting our focus there, we are permanently attracting more negative things in our lives.
We have to be aware of all this blessings and good way to do that is to write down 10 things you are grateful for, on a chalkboard or a big piece of paper and put it next to your bed so you can see it first thing when you wake up.
With this practice you will start being grateful more and more in your every day life and as a result you will get more things to be grateful for and then life will be in the zone. Doesn’t cost you anything to try :)
Abundance is a process and according to the results that you are having, you can say how exactly your vibration is high or low. Start with gratitude!
On the other side, your attitude about money and abundance is very important! A lot of people believe that money is something bad and that only dishonest people have a lot of money. I have a friend who is very high in his vibration, he is aligned, kind and even people who don’t meditate or practice expanding consciousness can see some kind of aura around him. He is peaceful and happy to talk about everything, giving great advice to people, but when the topic of the conversation shifts to money his vibration also shifts. It is the area he has not mastered and he completely changes expression on his face and starts saying things like these people are unhappy, but being subconsciously jealous. I told him, Money is also energy, don’t think of it as something bad. There is a girl from the town you are from who needs financial help for her surgery, if you were rich you could have helped her, if you are not, there is absolutely nothing you can do to help her. Money can be used in great ways, to help people, to help yourself to live a better and healthier life and to help your family and friends. People always point to rich people who do bad things and say he is rich and evil. There are evil people who are poor too. Great example that I love to use when talking to religious side of my family, since I was raised Catholic ( there is a lot of praise to being poor in my religion) is Jesus coming to Jerusalem on a donkey. When we think of a Donkey today, we think of it as a poor person’s mode of transportation. But in those days about 2000 years ago in Jerusalem, a Donkey was the equivalent of the most expensive car you can buy today. Not a Mercedes, more like Lamborghini. Our doubt in abundance and the reason why we struggle with money today may be connected to variety of reasons. Usually it comes from childhood, from grownups that used to tell us that money is bad or even evil and in order to be decent human being, we should suffer a lack of money. Those are deep subconscious believes that we have to change and understand that money is only energy like everything else, not good or bad… it is only what we make out of it.
I am ending this grateful for all of you!
Namaste.
