There is one burden that I seem to have

in common with most people.

There is one heavy thing that seems to

outweigh everything else - money.

I am certain that if I had more money,

I would have a lot less problems.

Often I rush off to buy a lottery ticket,

with the hope that come Saturday night,

all of my problems will be solved

through the magic of a few special numbers.

It seems so easy and such a simple

solution to my money problems.

Why doesn’t it happen?

What’s wrong with me?

I’m a nice person - I deserve it.

I never seem to get ahead with my finances.

The media tells me about people who are

financially secure through sensible

structuring and wise investments.

I am yet to meet anybody like this.

Everyone I know is struggling with money

in one way or another, including the wealthy.

Most people are so desperate and

embarrassed by their financial position

that they continually lie to cover-up the truth.

Most of us are living day to day in the hope

that there are no rainy days coming up

because frankly, we haven’t been able to

save for one.

In fact, if you have ever saved for a rainy

day, you will have noticed that when a

rainy day comes it is usually followed by

another and then another.

And you only saved for one - It’s not fair.

Problems always get me down,

they never lift me up.

They make me feel heavy, flat

and sometimes depressed.

The trouble is, when I feel down,

I am creating a down future for myself.

I am being drawn further into the earth’s

heaviness and this is not where

I want to go.

What would happen if I was to consider

a problem and then held the feeling of

being light?

What would happen if I refused

to let my problems get me down but instead

continued to look up and feel light?

Then I would be creating a light future

because what I look for, I find.

I would be creating a light future where

things are easier and problems are fewer.

If I refuse to be dragged down by my

problems then they must lighten

because that is what I am looking for,

that is what I would be creating - more light.

If I had more money,

I would I have a lot less problems

and probably a lot more freedom.

This would make my life lighter.

This is what I want but I am not letting

it happen.

I keep associating problems with gravity

and seriousness and limitation

and that is what they always bring.

I need to feel light, regardless of the

problems I am experiencing.

Then I will be heading for a future that

brings lightness.

When my out-look is light, light is what I

will be looking-out for and so, that is

what I will get.

My out-look needs to be light.

I will never run out of problems,

for that is the nature of this planet

but my life could be lighter.

I need to cut free of the heaviness that

I associate with lack.

I need to be light-hearted even in the face

of darkness.

Lack creates heaviness which is more lack.

Lightness creates lightness which is an

easing of problems.

I need to change my mind and lighten up.

Regardless of the severity of the problem,

a lighter outlook will bring a brighter future.

And... I will feel better and my life will

improve.

I need to surrender to the lightness of

my infinite heart and to trust the process

of life to lead me into a lighter life.

Most of my problems are caused by my

heavy attitude and not my heavy situation.

If I want a light future.

If I want to fly.

I must lighten my life.
