How are you living your life financially, managing your health, your spiritual growth, your emotional needs, food, family and friends relationship networks, etc? It’s all about managing wisely God has bestowed upon us. Since we are blessed with free will, and with choices to make decisions, we have the dominion to lead a life that fulfills us to be loving, happy, joyful, peaceful and harmonious. It all boils down to how we interpret the resources God has provided us or at our disposal. Sometimes the ego dictates “how much” to hoard money, food and even hold out emotional love that can be shared. Have you realized why “others” have money problems? In US many consumers seem to have credit card problems with too much debts.
The best way to resolve when faced with tension and pressure regarding money and ill-health or bad relationships is to take a step back and do some soul-searching via prayer and meditation. Prayer is communicating with God, and meditation is listening to your inner voice. Many just don’t trust their own instincts. I recall when I was working as a credit financial counselor at a non-profit credit agency, the clients with debts needed constant reinforcement to trust themselves to control their spending habits and live within means. The clients and I celebrated by cutting up the credit cards and threw them in the air. I kept bunch of tissue paper on my desk for their joyful tears.
In a spiritual and our physical world, God has given us dominion over our everyday resources and interactions, and it is up to us how we take responsibilities and be accountable for our actions. As stewards, we must pass it on to our children, and we have the duty and obligation to teach them with love, stewardship for their everyday life as they get older. Imagine when we manage food and reduce waste, we will be solving our communities hunger problems. Multiply them thousand folds across our nation, we will eliminate hunger and have a healthy population to be productive in their walk of life.
