There seems to be a lot of talk about religion surrounding the Law of Attraction, and it might be nice to put the focus back to where it belongs when working with this principle: oncreating good feelings.
The truth is that whether we are talking about LOA or religion, it is of benefit to anyone to be able to feel good about themselves, and create good things in their lives.
If you google the words 'happy' and 'money' together, you may be amazed and saddened by all the search results just in the FIRST page that talk about money and happiness NOT being compatible.
Here is an example of the lack programming that gets fed to us, from none other than Ben Franklin:
"Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith.""
-- Benjamin Franklin
Is it any wonder we sabotage ourselves unconsciously when it comes to money? While the old axiom that money cannot buy happiness is certainly true, this all or nothing type of thinking is what keeps so many people in poverty.
Instead, we can dissolve and transform our pain and lack with new beliefs about financial abundance. Spirituality can be wonderful, andso too can financial abundance...
If nothing else, think of the greater amount of good you could do with more money, if this is where you need to focus to get this point.
Of course money itself is not the goal: money is just paper and metal...dig deeper and really it's just an IDEA that passes around in the ether these days, for the most part (that is a subject for another day!).
There is nothing wrong with wanting more, unless it becomes an endless obsession for some vacant promise in the 'someday', which robs you of all joy in your NOW moments.
Passion for creating more abundance - for expressing our gifts and receiving return for them on a massive scale - is no more and no less than an expression of our ever-expanding Universe in action.
Abundance and prosperity include money AND happiness. Why not enjoy this ride that is life with all the abundance it has to offer?
