A Recent Money Manifestation

Lately I’ve been writing posts about fulfillment and how I believe it cannot come from material objects. Just recently, I hit a monetary goal which I was quite proud of…

A funny feeling came over me as I noticed I had achieved it, it was a feeling of intense happiness that quickly subsided. Over the course of the weekend as I began checking my income and other stats, without really realizing it, my mind was running through all of the new goals I now wanted to achieve in this new standing position.

The elation of achieving the goal (that I had been working towards for the past couple of months) had already been and gone. I was now focused on what new things I wanted from this new position. Of course, that is the way it works, you achieve something and then form new desires. What really shocked me was the amount of joy I got from achieving this goal… maybe it lasted for a whole minute, perhaps even two? Either way, it was very short lived!

A couple of years ago if someone had of told me that “money wasn’t everything”, I would have listened to them and understood what they were saying from a mental stand point, but I wouldn’t have believed it.

I can remember many times hearing statements similar to that one, but never really taking much notice of it because I had such a firm belief that money would buy me all of the things I wanted and would make me happy and complete.

In my experience, money doesn’t make you happy or complete. It can yield short lived gratification and short lived happiness, but it doesn’t bring me long term happiness nor does it make me complete.

I know for a fact that there will be people here right now reading this blog post and will dismiss the message as valid. They will understand the words but will not understand what message is really being conveyed here, and that is perfectly okay. The only way you’ll ever truly understand this is by experiencing it yourself.

Some people spend years and years manifesting stuff that they want. It can take some people a decade or more before they realize that they are not being fulfilled by their manifestations. Other people are quicker to realize this.

I remember the first time I deliberately manifested money, it was a great occasion, but it also was a big wake up call. It was at that moment that I discovered that money wasn’t what I wanted after all. The speed in which I was deflated by it was incredible and that experience will remain with me forever… it gave me the clarity to discover what I did want and for that I am truly grateful.

This post isn’t intended to be an “anti-money” post. Money can be great, and I recommend that everyone goes out there and manifests some! It can buy some wonderful experiences. Just remember that money isn’t the ultimate achievement on this planet, and it will never truly fulfill you.

Don’t take my word for it though, go out and experience it. That’s the only way you’ll truly know it for yourself.
