A Prayer for a Luxurious Life

My needs are few.

My abilities are manifold.

My worth is intrinsic.

My value is unlimited.

Prayer is Expectation

Prayer is a form of expectation that connects the inner world and the outer world. It is a bridge, so to speak. Build it of solid materials (useful thoughts) and you will create avenues to health, independence, hope and prosperity. The repetition of a prayer allows you to build it into your own personal mantra. This should be your default response to any hardship or challenge.

Repeat this prayer to yourself every morning. Repeat it to yourself before you go scrolling, before you buy anything. Repeat it to yourself as motivation to create the life you want. Repeat it to yourself when you feel insulted and in the face of physical pain.

Needs are Few

You know this, of course, but with the constant harrassment of your nervous system, it is time for a reminder. You need to eat, and you have needs for personal safety, cleanliness and covering your body (not fashion). Moving on up, we find needs for nature, warmth, movement and indoor plumbing. Ok, maybe that is just me but in my opinion, hot showers are the epitome of civilization. Finally, you need to create. You need to create because it is the only way to process your experience into something outside yourself. Nobody wants to be stuck in their head or in a life someone else created for them. Break free with the tools already inside you.

Abilities are Manifold

I wrote 'manifold' although 'many' was better aligned with the simplicity of the prayer. Many only addresses the volume but manifold connotes the range and diversity of the human talents we all possess. I remember reading once that a person should be able to darn a sock, build a shelter, plan an invasion, create 'art', grow a garden and gut a fish. I stopped fishing with my dad at the age of ten when I had to clean the fish I caught. I did it once, so I know how, but I decided not to voluntarily do that again, which meant I walked around the lake while others fished. However, as a human with manifold abilities, I figure I could find a way to convince someone to clean them ;).

The next time you have a problem, don't search 'out there' on the internet for a solution. Be clear about what you need and ask yourself how you can accomplish that. Then relax, let go and give it a few days. See what 'in here' can create for you.

Worth is Intrinsic

You are worthy because you exist. Worthiness is not something anyone needs to earn or prove. Don't look to others for validation or permission. You aren't a monkey in a circus. Check with yourself whether or not the thing is good for you to do and then do it. If you are having trouble finding a way, read the previous paragraph. People will talk because that is human nature. People will say things both out of misery (jealousy, disapproval) and out of company (caution, concern, herd mentality). Let that not define you or your worth. Your worth is guaranteed. The only person who can affect it is you. Have you made choices unworthy of the person you want to be? That ends now. Be in alignment. The behaviours and outcomes will follow.

Value is Unlimited

Do you earn a handsome salary or do you have a paltry income? That is only money. A lady of leisure knows she is much more than a salary, or what can be acquired with said money. That is a foolish and game where others prosper at your expense. We all have to eat and sleep somewhere and it is generally frowned upon not to bathe. Your needs are few, remember? Your value is all that you could, can and do create. Like your intrinsic worth, the only limitations on your value are the ones you set yourself. We can all grow and change. We can learn new information and we can develop and improve our talents or acquire skills by using them. We can derive profit from our unlimited value through the structures that underpin our current reality, aka, society.

Repeat this to yourself every day as often as you can.

Hold fast to these ideas and allow your life to be leisurely and luxurious.
