Our “spiritual wallet” is the capacity at which we are willing and able to open ourselves up to what we deserve and what’s there for us rather than letting it go to waste or hiding from it.
A. Not only does this connect us to the world and allow it to care for us but also shifts our focus away from a mindset of lack and toward a deep realization of abundance. It allows us to see that there is always more than enough available if we look for it and use what’s already available to us. This is what is taught when we learn gratitude and learn how to be more resourceful in our lives. We learn and see where in our lives do we allow things to go to waste or diminish its value until it’s gone or in a worse condition than when it was present in our lives.
2. I know I don’t need to explain what as physical wallet is but when it comes to finances many people don’t take how they handle it seriously until there is a need to do so or understand the role money plays in our lives or how finances really work where we are from and other alternatives ways to support and exchange within our own vicinity.
A. Not only is it important to learn budgeting, learn and seek out government assistance and what is available in terms of support, and to understand how to forward and grow our own careers or start one within an already established company, but also to learn what tools are at our disposal and can help us when we face difficult situations regarding what we spend and how and how we make money.
Everyone should learn how to budget, create emergency funds if privileged enough to make it, keep a piggy bank of some sort AND try to make a savings account if able, do gradual research into what they need to know for their money, their region, and relate skillsets to demand while also still considering the skills that are more overlooked and find the outlets and platforms that appreciate them or figure out what can bridge the gap between what other people need and want vs what you can offer and share and contribute. It’s easy to get caught in capitalistic views of what money means especially now but the use of money or value to receive goods existed long before any systems that are predatory or limit people’s ability to live and have a good life.
B. What’s really in your way is the culture, customs, and habits you build and your community and country uphold and by changing those things for yourself when they hurt you and others is the primary way to do this. Pass or put out papers of services you have, ask places if it’s okay for you to share them or to put them for others to see, call local newspapers and see what you can arrange, or check local libraries for courses and free certificates and programs, learn new skills, talk to other people, make new friends, make genuine connections, share your experiences, figure things out together, make communities, make spaces, and support your neighbors and vulnerable populations when able.
Never do more than what you have available for yourself, never give more than what you’ve received, establish boundaries, build understanding, make a local paper yourself, create your own systems within your communities, ask local businesses what they need help with and what you can do to make their jobs easier or help their business or family, ask people if they need help without wanting anything back within the means of what’s reasonable and when you’re able to, look into what you can do with what you don’t need, garden, ask how someone’s day is going but actually be open to a conversation when you have the time, politely learn to decline or de-escalate problems, join community organizations or make your own, hold events or lessons or even instruct groups and share your routines or part of your day with others.
There’s so many options outside of plain economics and banking and financial means when we learn to incorporate why these things even exist in the first place and their original purposes in our lives. Economics is inherently social, we have to be involved with others in some way to inherit, receive, or maintain any kind of systems in our life. If you’re struggling socially it’s going to reflect in your finances, what other people go through is going to affect what you can make for yourself and the impact of what you do, when someone has a business it creates jobs for other people, we cannot function on our own, learn to find support, offer support, and receive support, and learn to manage and care for the environment you live in and the people you share space with.
