Sue & Steve posed this question in their latest video and someone else created a blog posted based on the question, so I thought I would too.
Actually, it’s funny because only a few days ago the big, fun, exciting amount I had in my head and was dreaming about was 22 million dollars. It just sounds good doesn’t it?
Money means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. To me, it means opportunities and freedom. It means that the essentials and bills are taken care of and then you can choose to take that course that appeals to you or take the family on a trip overseas to experience other people and places.
I also know that money is energy and it reflects what’s going on inside us (just as other things in our life reflect our inner world), so if I’m experiencing a lack of money, perhaps I’m feeling a lack of something within me.
Money is also our main material representation of abundance. In order to have an abundance of money, I have to tap into my inherent abundance within me and within the universe…to be feeling that awesome knowing that there is always abundance if we allow it into our lives. To allow it we must see it and feel it in and around us. It is so much more than money.
So back to the big question, what would I do with 20 million dollars?
The first thing that comes to my mind is a wonderful piece of land that has a stream running through it and some big boulders and trees throughout the property. A gorgeous house that’s open and feels connected with nature both inside and out. There’s a separate building that is a creative workshop and I can have groups of people come to my property for workshops, retreats etc.
I’d love to set up different opportunities, especially for women and children, to engage in creative activities and to connect with nature and themselves, even if it means setting up centres or businesses that others can run for me.
I’d also love to be able to pay a great assortment of inspirational, creative and spiritual people to come and be guest facilitators in workshops and retreats and other events.
See a theme here? lol
Of course new cars would be great, as would not having to worry about paying rego, maintenance etc.
When suddenly faced with such a large sum of money you do realise how hard it is to then come up with ‘things’ to spend it on. I believe that we feel like we need more and more money when we don’t have it, but having it brings in totally new considerations.
I’ve observed my own spending habits and can see that I’m much more likely to splurge on things I don’t really need, in order to feel good, when I don’t have much money. But having money makes you want to take time to make better decisions and you don’t feel so rushed anymore to have more and more.
To me, it’s about experiences. I’d love to be able to take my children to wonderful places, to explore and learn and have great adventures as a family. I’d love to visit the lushness of Hawaii, the sacred places and stones in the UK and the massive red rock we have here in the middle of Australia.
Would having 20 million dollars solve all my problems? Of course not. It would solve some problems but it would also open up a new world of contrast and considerations. But boy I don’t think I’d mind those contrasts! lol
How about you? What would you do with 2o million dollars?
Oh yeah and I’d also love to buy my mum a gorgeous cottage on a nice piece of land and perhaps shout the whole extended family to a special holiday somewhere. Cool!
Attracting Money Tip #1: When you visualise what you’d do with the money, FEEL what it’s like to experience that home, that car, that trip, that course, etc. Let your mind wander into the experience of having the things that would bring you joy and engage all of your senses. Feel it resonating from within you rather than just being thoughts in your head. This is how you come into alignment with that money…that money that you CAN indeed have.
Attracting Money Tip #2: Pay careful attention to the quick little thoughts that pop up in relation to thinking about money, e.g. thoughts that tell you that you don’t deserve that money or those wonderful things and experiences. Explore those thoughts because they are false beliefs that hold you back. Replace those false beliefs with the truth that you are deserving of wonderful things.
