The Key To Real Wealth!

“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.” ~Howard Thurman

=======================================

If I told you that the key to your wealth is to be true to yourself, would you believe me?

Would you jump up and down and say,”YAY! I get to be more me and then I will know my wealth!?”

Well, in case you don’t (because I AM invested in you believing
me on this one), I wrote this for you….

Many years ago I had a revelation.

I “got” that if I couldn’t be me, I was imprisoned.

The symptoms I had struggled with such as
depression or lack of money were simply a result of feeling
bound about being who I was.

That was so liberating to understand!

Before that, I believed that something was wrong with me.

I believed that the painful struggles in my life were there as a
result of who I was.

But it’s not true.

I know if you are reading this, you need to know it’s not
true, too.

From very early on we receive messages that who we are is
not good enough, and that we need to become a neat little
package that fits into acceptable norms
so that people
will like us. And, to be liked is to be accepted. And to be
accepted in the tribe is to survive.

This is what I believe:

1. We are born in Divine perfection and wholeness.
2. Society convinces us we are not perfect and whole and conditions us to not be true to ourselves.
3. Being separated from our true selves, we become mis-aligned,which leads to many frustrating symptoms such as depression, stress, dis-ease, anxiety and chronic dissatisfaction.
4. Healing and spiritual growth is about remembering who we really are.

So what does this have to do with wealth?

If you are not being true to yourself, you are denying life.

You are denying the very life force that created you.
You are denying the life force that you are designed to express.

As a result, you deny wealth.

How can you feel wealth when you are disconnected
from life force?

Remember, wealth is NOT a thing. It’s NOT a place. It’s NOT an amount of money.

It’s an inner experience.

One of the biggest ways I see this showing up is in the money game.

How many people are being someone they are not in order to make money?
Is that freedom?

(Excuse me, I need to RANT for a moment. Who the HE*L came up with this screwed up notion
that we have to contort ourselves into someone in order to make money? It’s crap, I tell ya, and I’m here to help make change.)

This brings me to another reason that being true to yourself is key to your wealth.

When you are connected and expressing the life force as you are designed to,
you are tapped into the unique gifts, skills, and medicine that you are here to
contribute
.

When you are tapped in like this, you are able to give from who you are, which means
“ease and grace all over the place” (A new sang I’m using since Bali).

And one of the most fundamental truths of the universe that we need to re-connect
with is that we can be exactly who we are, and all our needs will be met.

“When I’m trusting and being myself as fully as possible,
everything in my life reflects this by falling into place easily, often miraculously.”

                                                                                                         ~Shakti Gawain

I’ve been devoted to being true to myself for as long as I can remember.

I wasn’t always successful at it because I was too scared.

I remember feeling terrified to speak my truth.
I remember feeling suffocated by the image I thought I was supposed to present.
I remember feeling scared of not being able to “make it” by bringing more of who I am to all I do.

But those fears and terrors are a thing of the past now.

I am grateful to be who I am, and I live in the abundant flow as a result.

I have connected to the wealth within (true authentic power) after putting a
stop to the crazy quest for external wealth. (false power)

What does it mean to be true to yourself?

For me, it means to listen, trust and act on my own inner knowing and guidance. It means to freely live from my authentic expression and to show up as I am.

Take a few moments and create your own definition.

TIPS AND PRACTICES TO HELP YOU BE TRUE TO YOURSELF SO YOU CAN TAP YOUR WEALTH!

  1.  Get to know yourself. In order to be true to yourself, you need to know yourself.
  2. Consistently evaluate what is you and what is not and release what is not.
  3. Raise your standards by not letting yourself put up with situations and people that you know are depleting you. No tolerations!
  4. Spend time every day, even for 5 minutes, being quiet with yourself so you can learn to listen to your inner feelings and guidance.
  5. Give yourself permission to feel good as your dominant experience.
  6. Get familiar with the giddy, exciting, stirring and sometimes scary YES inside you that will inform you of how to live and choose.
  7. Release your desire for everyone to like you and the belief that you are responsible for how others’ feel.
  8. Increase your trust that you can and will succeed, financially and otherwise, when you are true to you.

“Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.”
