Success / Money

In this question-and-answer session during an online webinar, bestselling "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about the enormous difference between so-called success in the world, and the realization of a person's highest spiritual possibilities.

Too often it happens that some people lose their interest in self-study. They give up on their inner work because they don't see the immediate results hoped for. If anything, in their growing awareness of what has always been their actual condition, it seems to them that they are now even deeper asleep than ever before...

Guy Finley explains that success in your spiritual life follows the understanding that "in my weakness is thy strength made perfect."

Could it be possible that we are on this earth to spend our time worrying about money? Endlessly trying to figure out ways to please ourselves?
