Life is full of lessons.

We can tend to think that one simple solution will solve all of our problems.

Money.

We can think that inner world of ours will be more peaceful if we have more.

Maybe we can work more, take on more jobs, get new credit cards, pull out loans, so we can buy all the new things, so we will feel better.

Feeling better has nothing to do with accumulating more things.

This can bring an even deeper darkness and sense of feeling unfulfilled, as we continue to paddle away from shore, with less and less chance of being able to find the solid land once more.

Solid land is like our peace of mind.

Land grounds us.

Stability and peace come from feeling like you have a solid ground under your feet.

When you know what to expect, or can at least have some preparation for what is to come, that brings peace.

When we are constantly running after more ways to feed our ego, or fulfill this need to feel whole, without actually doing any inner work or introspection, we can find ourselves, spinning around on a boat without oars.

Money can be helpful, it is a very useful form of trade, but allowing it to hold so much power, as to expect it to solve all of your problems, is giving into false hope.

You will only feel fulfilled when you start to work on healing the inner being, that is YOU.

When you start to work on yourself, from the inside out, you are able to create a more solid ground to stand on.

This also gives you the ability to face each storm.

To be continued…
