How to Have a Spiritual Life and Be Financially Successful

Many of us ponder how we can be both spiritually and financially successful throughout our lives. The pursuit of financial wealth can occasionally feel stressful, which goes against what we typically want when we pursue a spiritual path.

1. Define it: Everyone has a different definition of what it means to be spiritually wealthy and financially free. It’s crucial to first clarify what personal financial success entails before defining what spiritual wealth entails.

Does having a specific sum of money in the bank indicate financial success?

Does that imply being debt-free?

Is it the autonomy to decide when to work and where to go on vacation?

What about having a spiritual life?

Is the goal of spirituality to find more meaning and peace?

2. Accept your demands as valid: It is crucial that you acknowledge that what you want is acceptable once you have determined what personal success in both areas means to you. Having the basic necessities is what some people define as living abundantly. a stable job and an enjoyable family life. Others might interpret it as having the opportunity to give talks, write books, and interact with motivating people while traveling the globe. No action is ever right or wrong. For you, it is merely what it is.

3. Let go and avoid taking it personally: For many people, talking about money and finances can be very emotionally charged. The idea of losing it can trigger a lot of emotional baggage because it is directly related to our survival. Many people believe that their sense of worth is directly correlated with how much money they have in their bank accounts. When there is not enough, negative thoughts like “What is wrong with me?’ and ‘Additionally, having a lot of money in the bank can strangely also prompt a similar negative thought process with the inner dialogue sounding something like: ‘I have to keep this up or I’ll lose the love of___. I could lose everything.’ By holding onto these ideas, we subject our bodies to a great deal of stress and pressure and eventually set ourselves up for failure, such as poor health. Knowing what money means to you and being willing to let go of negative thoughts, behaviors, and patterns are crucial.

4. Have you heard of the law of attraction? Like attracts like. The idea behind this is that one can influence their environment by focusing on either positive or negative thoughts, respectively. We frequently have the end goal in mind when trying to increase our income through a new job, the launch of a new product, or the establishment of a new company. Having a clear understanding of your desired outcome is crucial in business, but focusing too much on it can be detrimental. When dealing with a salesperson, have you ever felt the need to bolt out the door? Their desperation was palpable. Have you, however, dealt with anyone where a transaction occurred but it seemed more like a friendly conversation with a friend than a sales pitch? We free ourselves from having to exert so much effort and allow a natural, effortless interaction to take place when we are able to trust that the right people will be drawn to what it is that we have to offer.
