Story Behind the Story

Fate and Freewill

Now that we have had a look at how the spirit works in us and how to use that power to better ourselves and our opportunities by using motivation, inspiration and creativity we change our perspective slightly to see how we can utilize these techniques in our current everyday life.

Everyone of us is faced with different challenges on a daily basis, whether it be a money issue, like where is it going to come from to pay all the bills, is my home based business going to provide enough for us, or a family matter, even a matter of using your time in the most effective and efficient manner. The issue is how we deal with these matters on an internal basis, which will be a reflection on how they work out externally. After all we are what we focus upon. If you focus on money problems, then you will have money problems, but if you will make that ever so little shift on being thankful for the ability to pay those bills, even if it is not the whole thing, you will start to feel better about the money. I have heard this suggestion over and over many times while listening to, or watching the “SECRET”. Only I had not ever REALLY gotten a hold of the feeling in the spirit until now. It is quite okay that we have some bills, as long as I don’t let them consume me. When you go make a purchase at the store, remember to be aware of how you’re feeling before you make the purchase. If you’re “feeling” hesitant about the purchase, then likely it is not the thing to do right now. Last year my husband and I replaced one of our 4 door dually diesel trucks with a nice more economical Nissan Murano. We had been talking for sometime about doing this, only we hadn’t done much more than “window shopping”. Our one truck began having some mechanical issues and we kept putting money in to fix it. One of our reasons or ideas was that here on the ranch two trucks are better than one. Long story short, we eventually decided to trade the truck in for the Murano. When the deal was done instead of the usual little feeling of dread or, are we sure about this, what have we gotten into, you know that feeling of are we sure we should have made this expensive purchase? Well to our enjoyment and amazement we were actually quite happy, almost relieved. Yes the payments were higher than the truck had been, however this felt right. It “felt” like the thing to do. We also had the unique comfort that our residual income would help support this decision.

We are guided into the right direction by the higher power, if we listen. This vehicle came at the right time. We are very grateful to have purchased it, especially at the time we did. We get twice the mileage for half the price. It is much easier to drive the Murano around town and to park in the store parking lots. We have learned to live with only one truck, and are surviving just fine. We have a healthy mindset from this experience.

The whole point of this long story is to assist you in understanding it is all about how you “feel” about money. It is whether you maintain the power or you give the money the power. Focus on the blessings you have and the money will follow. Stop focusing on the bills and how your going to pay them – it creates a feeling (even unconsciously) of lack. Sometimes it really takes a while to make the deep heart felt connection of truly understanding an idea or a concept. Today as I was sitting down and reading my bible and doing my meditation, going through my gratitude list – it hit me like a brick how I am very blessed, so much so that I am thankful for my bills. Maybe you are not there yet, but you will know the feeling associated with this concept when you do finally get it. What a major breakthrough you will then receive. Then you will find how fortunate you are to have your financial health and that you can create your own wealth.

A person who is not willing to and striving to better himself or his situation is leaving himself up to fate. While the person who is using his ambitions, his internal power to create a more prosperous life is using his free will. Once we accomplish this our destiny to have our financial freedom, our health, and our dreams will be ours to enjoy everyday.
