I've been exploring my feelings and issues around money and abundance lately. Last week, I had a blinding epiphany. It occurs to me that a few years ago, during my divorce and the ensuing craziness, I formed the mantra of my existence: I just want to be okay, no matter what. This mantra has gotten me through a divorce, a break-up that wasn't a break-up from the guy who wasn't my boyfriend (yeah, I know...), work issues, friend issues, new relationship issues, ex-wife of new boyfriend issues... It's done me well, and I must say that I am definitely okay no matter what. But I'm just okay. So last week, I changed my mantra to I am THRIVING no matter what! So, Imagine my amusement when this little gem popped up in my email from Abraham-Hicks:
"You have to find a way to be all right with thriving because you are always going to want to thrive. The economy is moving forward in response to the desires of people. And depriving yourself of something does not make more money for someone else to spend. If there were not people who were purchasing things, then all of the people who are working at manufacturing and marketing them would have to find some other ways of making their living. There are so many people who innately want to thrive, who as soon as they begin thriving a little, begin imposing all of these exterior judgements about how much thriving is appropriate, "It's appropriate to thrive that much, but not that much." And you have to ask yourself, "At what point do I lose the balance of thriving?"
