Trusting that we will have all that we need right now can be an incredibly challenging ask. But we will. And we do. It just may not look like we think it should. Or how we want it to.

I spent 18 years in a financial recovery program where I went from living off of credit cards, to building a business that grossed over $8 million in sales. It required faith, a lot of emotional and logistical support from others and making some tough decisions at times. What I created was way beyond what I had envisioned. I learned so much.

But creating wealth is not sustainable if you don’t have the internal belief system to back it up. We are capable of manifesting mansions and Mercedes, if that’s what we want, but unless we believe that we are worthy at our core, we will ultimately lose those external symbols of wealth.

Our net worth must be supported by our self-worth, or it will crumble.

And it’s the fear of those losses that cause us to begin to hoard, and cheat, and bend the truth in what we think is our favor.

But it never really works that way. And the lying, cheating, and truth-bending only serve to further erode our inherent sense of self-worth.

As we will see in the world at large in the not too distant future, the systems, the corporations and the beings that are perpetuating this immorality will not survive - not in their current form.

We’ve been given free reign for a very long time now and we have created a lot of good in the world. And we’ve also created some pretty horrific situations.

When much of the world is sheltering-in-place, we’re being given an opportunity to slow down and breathe. To evaluate what is what it is we really value. To see what it is that we truly require to survive. And to thrive.

We don’t require cases of toilet paper. We just need enough for right now. Trusting that when that gets low, there will be more.

We don’t require fancy club memberships and luxury cars. They’re great and incredible treats for us. I can definitely enjoy and appreciate luxuries like this. But they’re not required for living healthy lives and getting us where we need to go.

We don’t require excessive sex, drugs and alcohol to feel good. We do need intimate connection, the drug that love is and the intoxicating effect of the beauty of nature.

When we see that we have enough and know that we, inherently, are enough, we can walk with a sense of peace and equanimity through all of this. Then, we can build from there. With balance, compassion, love and trust.
