A good friend of mine told me more than a year ago that money is energy. This idea stuck with me, though I am just now beginning to understand what it means.
As some of you might know, I have been raising money for my journey to Prague to get my teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) certificate. It is something I have been considering for about five years now, though am finally taking the leap to do. I am very excited! Though, I have also been a bit nervous.
The nervousness comes because this experience is one I have never encountered in this lifetime. Going abroad to Europe, being completely immersed in a different language and culture, consciously teaching my language and culture to others ... all of this and more, while intriguing, also creates some angst.
If I let it, that is.
Alongside raising money for my journey, I have also been working diligently on raising my energy levels, raising my consciousness, or what some may call "vibration." In doing so, I am beginning to understand that what I put out into the universe, I will receive in return. The more positivity I share with others, the more love, the more genuine connection I receive. This relates directly to my raising money because I've noticed that the more I let go of any hope of achieving my monetary goal, the more people contribute.
Said another way, the less I focus on what I am getting from others and instead focus on how I can be a source of joy, peace, love, the more I attract those qualities, those realities.
So, I will continue to let go. Yes, it is a process and there will be times when I will try my hardest to hold onto ideas of gain, even when I know deep down they are keeping me from moving forward. When this happens, I will patiently and gently remind myself that I am learning, I am growing. I am elevating. These moments are necessary to make me a better teacher ...
In Prague and beyond.
