Introduction
So many of us are afraid to manifest abundance because we were told that money is the root of all evil, and consciously or subconsciously we may think God will be upset if we are interested in money Actually, it isn't the root of all evil. It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil. I don't love money so much that I would scam anyone or hurt anyone for it. But I do believe that we were meant to have abundance and to experience all joy and happiness instead of using all of our time just to keep up on the bills.
Job Security Has Changed. You Could Be OUTTA THERE in A Moment!
In the past, when a company hired you, you would probably have a chance to retire with them. Now that kind of job security is scarce. Even with qualifications, experience, and degrees, you may end up working in retail or food service. So there's a choice: we can be insecure and risk our good credit ratings at the whim of others or we can choose to start developing our own means of income separate from work. There's a recent trend toward multiple streams of income. This, actually, is a much better concept than working for one boss. If that one boss fires you or lays you off without warning, you are in trouble, and especially now, in this age where most of us spend all of the money we make and then some.
So We Must Change Our Way of Thinking Too
I've been developing multiple streams of income, and it lends to a much greater feeling of security. My work is client-based and I get paid for the hours with clients, and also for mileage and training. So, I can add clients or just as easily decide to replace a client (and they can decide to replace me). One person taking a dislike to me doesn't mean the end of my income. As I develop more and more streams of income even outside this work, I get a taste of the freedom that it would be, to spend my time honing my streams, and only replacing some when others fail or change.
Feeling of Freedom
My hours have been short at work lately because I've decided that I've had enough of working with chronic complainers, people who are never happy no matter what you do - people whose moods hit one deeply in the gut. The feeling of freedom to know that I can make up some of the income loss till I get replacement clients by writing articles for Associated Content and investing money with Prosper, as well as contributing to a paid to post forum mylot.com (no, you won't get rich there), and publishing the same non-exclusive articles that I published on AC also on Helium.com and Triond.com as well for paid per view or shared revenue income. No, I'm not the complete expert on multiple streams of income yet, and this takes time to develop to get to the point where you can lean on it, but I have the need to rebel against the rat race…a rat race that demands that I work with high levels of stress but not doing something that reflects my best self and being told what to do, and basically many expenses in my budget wouldn't be there if I didn't have to work outside the home.
Conclusion
So many people feel guilty in dealing with money. But there is no benefit in my remaining stressed, vulnerable, and unempowered. The importance of this journey of multiple streams of income for me is that I will be happier, healthier, full of bliss and joy, and be able to help others achieve the same goals.
