What are you ignoring?

Is there a part of your life that you are just not wanting to pay attention to , look at?

Is it just easier to ignore than put any attention to it?

Why are you ignoring it?

What are you afraid of??

For many years I just wanted to ignore money. I hate the whole concept of it. That it even exists. Yet we all know that you can only ignore something for so long before something bad happens. It lashes out, it shrivels up and dies, something will result from the neglect.

Through this divorce, I have wanted to ignore the money thing, make it less important, allow it to do what it wants. Because of this fear of facing the issue, I have allowed myself to be victimized by myself, my husband, the reality of the situation.

I have recently begun to pay attention, not easy, but I am doing it. A few weeks ago I tuned into an conference call that was focused on facing your financial fears. It spoke about the notion of stewardship. It taught me a concept that has been pretty profound for me not only in the area of money but in relationship to everything I want more of in my life.

The teaching was about the notion that, Why would you receive more of something, if you were not paying attention, to what you already had.

Think about it. It is a pretty simple concept to understand. Why would God, the Universe send you more of something that you are not doing a good job with? Makes perfect sense to me, seems so beautifully simple to understand...

I know deeply that God does not want me to ignore money, nor does he want me to go with less than I need. Through this work recently, I have begun to understand my relationship with this issue and have begun to look at how my beliefs have formed and how they affect me day to day.

Like any issue in my life, I know this is not an overnight turnaround thing, yet even with the smallest amount of focus, I know that things will begin to change, if I continue to pay attention.

So what needs your attention?

What small action can stop the ignoring?
