I always dreamed of being financially independent, but what always seemed mysterious was how much I needed to feel that way. That is, until I realized financial independence was just a feeling. It was a complete detachment from money worries altogether. The mystery is, how much does it cost to feel financially free? Feelings are free. Being free of financial worries is having no worries. That is without cost.
Independence from finances might be a new way of thinking about an old problem. We’ve tried to fix poverty by giving money to those who have little, and they end up back to square one. Lottery winners have presumably been “delivered” from financial stress, only to be stressed out that the money burned a hole right through their pockets.
There can only be one, viable explanation. Financial independence, like relationship independence, is a clear mind. Codependency is a problem, until no one is dependent. We haven’t realized our free nature, our autonomy, or our ability to line our own pockets (or put holes in them) with fear or faith.
Fear of loss attracts poverty. Fear of singleness attracts singleness. It’s simple – what you fear grows and manifests. Jesus said that whatever you pray for, believe as though you have it. If you have poorness, you have it. If you have richness, you have it. Fear brings it, and faith brings it. Simple sides to the same coin.
We live in a lawful universe. Believe as if you don’t deserve it, it’s too hard, or it never comes, and it’s as good as done. Believe and feel as if you have it already. No more begging. No more working.
No more begging, no more pleas. Then, no more, please. I’m good. I have it already. Now, I just give for the joy of it.
