March is going to be a month where we need to start taking responsibility for our own abundance. Too often we do things that we deem to be “good things” and feel that we should be rewarded by spirit. We get put out if the person who is not as qualified gets the job, the one with less experience gets to lead or new comer gets the preferential treatment. We get angry with spirit because we feel passed over. We have done everything we should have been doing but we are not being rewarded for doing it. Often at spiritual trade shows, vendors who have paid a good amount to be at the show, get angry because they are not making their money back. They have paid their money and they are good people, spirit should automatically reward them. Not so. First of all there is not a running tab between you and spirit. And also, your abundance is a direct result of your own personal karma, not whether or not spirit loves you or notices you. We need to realize, it is only our egos that notice that we are not being “recognized” with some physical reward, not spirit. The universe doesn’t work like that. It works in energy. If you only do things to get something then you undermine yourself. You taint your efforts. Rewards come in many ways and not always on the same day that the event occurs. Many times I have worked an event and walked away deeply in the hole as far as making my money back, but I work very hard at appreciating the event, pay attention to any contacts I many make, be aware of other reasons I may be there other than to make money, and I find when I do this, eventually I will see the reason for my attending. It may be month’s later, but something always comes from it and it always amounts to more than I could have expected. So, this month be mindful that there are many other ways for us to be rewarded beyond what we think it is we should get. Remember that spirit works from the big picture, not just this one small place in time, and if you are appreciative of everything that comes into your life, even the things that don’t seem to work out, you will be amazed how much spirit does watch out for you on every level, even some you don’t know about.
