Money? Is that you?

 
Money comes in all forms.

Have you looked at money lately?  It comes in all shapes, sizes and amounts.  Literally and figuratively.  Are you missing opportunities to accept money around you because it is disguised as something without a famous person on it?

Some of us have trouble accepting gifts, offers or help.  Whatever the past reason is, the idea of receiving help can make us uncomfortable.  It can be as easy as accepting a cup of tea at a friend’s house.  I have a tendency to say no to offers like this because I don’t want the person to go out of their way.  But, why not?  A friend is offering me a simple courtesy and yet I refuse.  Sure, this is not going to help me pay my phone bill.  What it does do is point out that I am blocking a gift.  If we want money to truly come into our lives, we have to start recognizing that money is not just paper.  Abundance does not mean a gigantic stock portfolio. 

We don’t have to do everything ourselves.  We are not put on this planet alone.  We are all here together.  Let’s start seeing the little offers during the day as ways to practice accepting and receiving.  Then, we will be sure to recognize all forms of wealth and money.

Now, let’s put that shoe on the other foot.  Do you feel like you have someone in your life to whom you are constantly giving and never receiving?  Do you and this person keep  playing out the same scenario over and over and you are always left uncomfortable with the results.  (because the results are ALWAYS the same).  Here’s some great advice.  Stop it.  That toy is broken.  The only way to fix it is to stop playing with it.  As I mentioned in a previous entry, money is ebb and flow, not flow and flow or ebb and ebb.  Be careful not to let someone drain you of your resources. Remember, you cannot change anyone.  You can only change the way you react to them. And this may not be a person, it could be your lemon of a car.  It could be your mobile phone bill.  Maybe it’s your porn addiction. ;)

I also encourage you to evaluate yourself to make sure you are in give and take relationships.  If there is a person in your life who helps you, please give back to them.

Whatever it is, love and appreciate it for what it is.  It got you here – again, money does not judge you.  With acceptance comes peace and abundance.

The money is there.  What does it look like?
