Five Elements to Financial Freedom AND Fulfillment
For each of us, our current financial
situation is a reflection of our past beliefs and actions. So if you are not
happy with where you are, financially, it is an indication that you may need to
make some changes in your life. And as integral beings living in an integral
universe, when we make positive changes in one area of our life, such as
finance, we create positive changes in other areas of our life as well.
The contracting economy in many ways
takes away the fatty layers that have kept us in our comfort zone. It can be
scary, stressful and uncomfortable. But it also presents a wonderful
opportunity for us to look inside, reexamine our lives, and set a new direction
for the life we truly deserve and desire.
In ancient times, five elements were
used to symbolize the harmonious workings of the universe. Using a similar
approach, I have identified five elements that, when properly deployed, will
help us build a solid financial structure and reach high for our dreams -
elements that will lead us to our ultimate joy and fulfillment in life. The
five elements are:
Beliefs (AIR) - Our
financial situation reflects to a large degree our beliefs about money: our
money memories, and our positive and negative associations about money. What
are some of the limiting beliefs you have about money? By examining those
beliefs and gaining a deeper understanding of the laws of money, we are able to
adopt healthier views and habits - and change our financial condition DRAmatically.
Goals (FIRE) -
Successful people set clear goals and have well thought-out plans to achieve
them. What is your dream? Does it have a deadline? What is your plan to make it
happen? Clear, compelling and concrete goals in alignment with our passion,
purpose and values will ignite a powerful force within us and propel us to move
forward.
Discipline (EARTH) -
Without discipline, a dream does not have wings. It is like a ship that stays
in the shipyard. Discipline is one of the most important muscles to help us
turn our dream into reality. It is essential that we cultivate and exercise the
muscle of discipline so that it becomes a natural part of us and our life.
Alignment (WATER) - Money
is a means, NEVER the end by itself. If we don't know what is truly important
to us, and align our finances with our passion, mission and values, we will
never be fulfilled and satisfied - even when we obtain financial success. It is
crucial that we structure our finances in ways that support us and allow us to
live our passion, purpose and values.
Relationships (SPACE) - As
interconnected beings, we cannot achieve our dreams all by ourselves. Without
loving relationships, success is an empty and lonely place to be - even if we
get there. It is very important for us to cultivate and develop meaningful and
fulfilling relationships that are based on generosity, love and support.
Transformation begins with awareness,
and happens in action. Reevaluating our beliefs is the beginning of things. Our
beliefs about money often reflects our beliefs about ourselves, relationships,
among other things. When we gain clarity on who are are and what we want in
life, and make a decision to change those limiting beliefs that have prevented
us from moving forward in the past, we will begin to notice the world around us
also changes.
To get what we want in life, we need to
set worthy goals, and practice discipline, patience and persistence to achieve
them. On the other hand, this needs to be aligned with our passion, mission and
values in order to fulfill us. We also need to consciously create a harmonious
environment that support us to walk confidently towards the directions of our
dreams.
There is only one corner of the
universe we can be certain of changing, and that's our own self. If we can
create more harmony in our own life, we are also bringing more harmony to the
world around us.
The secret of success is to be in harmony with
existence, to be always calm to let each wave of life wash us a little farther
up the shore. ~ Cyril Connolly
