I think one of the big things I’ve come up against moving towards my goal is this so-called conflict between spirituality and money. Whenever I read self-help books by my favorite authors – Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Rhonda, Byrne, Jerry and Esther Hicks – they all say that you can create anything you want. Simply see it, believe it and allow it to happen.
But, really? You can just ask for anything? What if what my deepest desire is a hot new pair of Christian Louboutin heels? Am I really allowed to ask for those? It doesn’t seem very spiritual to me. What about world peace and ending world hunger? I would think that’s an ok thing to wish for. What if my goal to earn $250K isn’t actually such a great idea, but I don’t know that? Is there a difference between someone who wants to earn $250K to work on world peace and someone who wants to earn the same amount to do drugs?
I want to earn $250K so I can go to self-improvement seminars (God would approve of that), pay of my bills (Yep, still got his approval!), and get my own place (Um, I think a yes?). Next on my list is “buy cute clothes.” Really? Does God even care about my wardrobe?
Certainly God/Spirit/the Universe doesn’t give a rip about the hot new pair of Christian Louboutin heels that I seriously lust for, right? But what if that is what I want? Jesus said “ask and it shall be given.” Who decides what Spirit wants for me or what God would approve of? What if I buy those shoes, I feel SO fabulous that I rock an interview that leads me to a job where I have a HUGE positive impact on the world? Really. I know a lot of you reading this know the power of a hot pair of shoes.
Maybe desire is the real road map? Maybe true desire is the fuel for life? All I know is that right now I’m feeling pretty confused by all this, but one thing I’m not confused about is the fabulousness of these shoes…so in the meantime, check them out!
