The 5 Essential Financial Rules

Money basics for wealth and prosperity

“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” — Henry David Thoreau

Do you ever get tired of trying so hard? Exhausted even?

Ever wish you could take a step back and get paid for stuff you would be doing anyway?

Play a little music. Eat a bread roll with apricot jam. Sing as you roll down a grassy bank with your hair wild and a sparkle in your eye?

Get paid for your effort.

I’m only guessing at some of the things you might like to do.

Maybe you’re more of a corporate-get-things-done-in-a-suit type. Gold watch, phone beeping alerts.

Whoever you are… You like being given money. But I bet you’re tired of the hustle.

You need a rest

Sometimes, you need to take a breather from all the darn constant marketing and blagging this life asks us to do.

The resumes, exams, interviews, platforms, networking-personal-branding, crowd-sourcing-crowd-funding-crowd-pleasing…

You think, “There’s got to be an easier way. When’s my time to eat chocolate covered pretzels and watch the bees make honey?”

I was walking my two little dogs through the fields yesterday. The sun was setting over the grasses, and the birds were flitting here and there.

I stopped to pick a sun-ripened blackberry from the hedgerow, and I thought,

All of nature does its thing with ease and joy and glory.

I should too.

So I am doing my thing with ease and joy and glory.

I came home and started writing this.

And I want you to do your thing as well. Your brilliant, amazing, wonderous thing.

Stop resisting

You have to understand something. We’re like a flowing river. By ‘we’ I mean all this. Consciousness. Life. The energy events called you and me.

When we resist the flow of life, it’s like putting big rocks in that stream. Then the life-force which is us — the essence of who we are-has to work harder.

Resistance is worry and anxiety and all forms of fear. It’s trying too hard all the time. It’s overworking. Over-stressing. Pushing ourselves too much.

Doubting. Lacking belief in yourself. Pretending you’re powerless when in reality you’re the Universe playing an elaborate game with itself.

Money isn’t anything at all. It’s make-believe. An imaginary tool you can do imaginary stuff with.

Money’s not out there. It’s in you.

Money is you. You are money.

Do you want more wealth? You want to be rich and prosperous and have loads of cash?

Then first, relax.

Stop trying to move the money to you.

Instead, move yourself to the money.

Be water. Be flow. Let the stream of life wash through you. Dissolve your blocks like sugar.

Allow yourself to have wealthy thoughts.

Those wealthy thoughts will naturally lead you to take the actions conducive to prosperity

Allow yourself to receive money easily, joyfully, and gloriously, just like a stream allows a fish to nestle under its banks.

That’s how you become a veritable money river, my friend.
