I was watching a documentary on how people buy things to fill up their life. In the documentary, on Black Friday, people were fighting over items in the store. These were not like measly little fights, but they were actually about ready to kill one another. One of the underlining motives that people had in this documentary is that people will buy things to fulfill an "emptiness" that they feel is real and true. This is something that I've been looking at in my life recently where I've bought things and then realize, "did I actually desire that?"

This can be a whole long conversation. To put this simply, this desire or need to fulfill oneself with material items or even a relationship can come from points of view that we lack something. By no means is having things in our lives' like fancy cars, a relationship, a nice home, or high end stereo systems a wrong thing to have. That's not what this is about. This is not about having a correct answer to how we should live. The thing that I desire to get across to you, is that I notice that there are limited beliefs and points of view that people actually lack something and it inhibits them to live greater lives.

It's not that living with things in our life is wrong, it's about opening the door to function from a different way of living and being. It's like creating a new foundation for your home. If that foundation is built on lack, how well will the rest of the structure function? If the foundation was built on abundance, how will that structure function?

In the ways that we live, we function from points of view about how our lives work and what we are supposed to do to live here. For instance, you may believe that you have to live up to your family's standards or not create more than your family had. That could be in regards to the ways and amounts of money you create or what is actually fun for you to choose to be in this world.

Also, not everyone has the same points of view and you can have different points of view about life than your neighbor or anyone else. We don't have to live the same life as everyone else. We actually get to create our own reality. We have that choice!

I've bought things in my life that I've used to fulfill this 'emptiness' that I believed was real. You may say, "well the emptiness feels all too real." These points of view and beliefs feel very real. I've had many times that I've had to look at points of view of where I've been functioning from including this idea that I actually lack something. Believe it or not, we can change our points of view about how we function in this world.

What if you functioned from a place of no lack?

The definition of 'Source' is "any thing or place from which something comes, arises, or is obtained; origin:"


Is  Money or someone else the Source of your life?

For most of you, you have probably grown up in a family where you practiced some idea or concept that there is a source outside of you that is more powerful than you. It could be money. I could be an abusive job. It could be a religion. A source could be a guru or even as simple as a book that has the answers that you've determined are the correct answers on how to live. When you make something else the source of your life, then you negate the capacities that you have as an infinite being.

So if you are actually choosing to not be the source of your life then what has been the source of your life? When source is something that we have made it be something outside of ourselves as true, then we have already bought a lie(s).  When that source is gone, now what? You could choose to not buy the lie that you aren't the source of your life. You could also replace the word 'source' with 'creator'.


Infinite Being vs. Finite Being

My point is that you are an infinite being. However, are you believing that you are finite? An infinite being is the source of their life. Again, if we are making something else greater than us, we are not functioning as the infinite being. There are many tools that, if we wish, to use to function more from that infinite being place.

Some tools to use when you're making something else the source of your life is to ask these questions,
"Would an infinite being choose this?"
"What's the value of choosing to be finite here?"

Is money the source for the choices you have?

Having money usually makes it easier to get what you desire like a plane ticket, house or a car. Now, do you only have the choice to travel when you have money to buy a plane ticket? Sure, money can make things easier, however it doesn't have to be the source of your choices. You could win a free plane ticket or someone could offer you to road trip with them. Money didn't buy your choice there. The lie that can be unraveled here is that money doesn't buy you choice. Your choice is a great power that you have no matter how little or how much money you have. Having money is also a choice.

There are many many other tools, books & audios that can address this topic.
