Spiritual and Financial Abundance - What is Your Belief?
The Californer/10173864

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- The Bible verse says:
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

This may be a lingering influence on people thinking that being wealthy is bad.

Yet a quote attributed to John D. Rockefeller says:
"The best thing you can do for the poor is not to be one of them!"

No matter who said it the point is that only by having enough money to give can you help others.

Some famous folks who have helped others include:

Bill Gates & Melinda French Gates, total lifetime giving: $50 billion+
George Soros, total lifetime giving: $32.6 billion
MacKenzie Scott, (Jeff Bezos ex-wife) total lifetime giving: $8.6 billion
Michael Dell, total lifetime giving: $1.1 billion+
David Koch, total lifetime giving: $1.2 billion

We need to remember that money itself is not good or bad; if you use money in a way that enhances your own life and the lives of others, then it will simply be a powerful spiritual tool.

Wealth includes adequate physical possessions to live and flourish as a human being.

Other wealth mindsets are:

- Have a positive attitude.
- Create a productive money mindset.
- Stop worrying.
- Make an honest assessment of your current money state.
- Focus on abundance & be grateful for what you have.
- Share what you have with others.
-  Make a study of wealth.

Material wealth is dependent upon circumstances while spiritual wealth is not. This is evidenced by the fact that some people in the direst circumstances may find themselves feeling very spiritually rich or fulfilled.

Spirituality can promote close family and friendship bonds and help people cope with physical or emotional pain and other life stressors. It can also offer people a strong sense of community, particularly for those who are part of a spiritual group or community.

When you have money, you have the resources to reach out and help many people. On a fundamental level, this is what spirituality is all about.

We need to remember that money itself is not good or bad; if you use money in a way that enhances your own life and the lives of others, then it will simply be a powerful spiritual tool.
