I believe this is a privilege to be witness to this global catalyst of great change in our lifetimes!! The various modalities and traditions and religions and sciences and philosophies studied by each of us up until this point all have a common theme relational to this current period of transformation.

Every breath we take is a creation. Every thought we have, every thing we do, we create in every moment. Whatever we see in these headlines or experiences are what we create ourselves, our perspective, filtered by our belief. We have the opportunity to sit at the top of the pendulum and acknowledge the creation of peace and war, poverty and wealth, fear and joy and good and evil. We have the opportunity to sit at the top of the pendulum and appreciate the power of all the games we have created and played. Globally and personally each of us has been playing similar games – games of value, games of currency, games of power, and games of knowledge – ultimately this is the game of money and the game of life.

In our household, if we need money to pay expenses, we find it by cutting costs elsewhere until we have enough money to cover the costs. We look at our household budget and see where we are spending and what we are purchasing and evaluate what we can cut that doesn’t immediately benefit the household. If we don’t have it we don’t buy it. We spend only what we make. We ask these questions – Do I need to pay for gym membership when I can go for a walk for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay for Foxtel when I can watch public TV for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to buy or rent a DVD when I can borrow a DVD from the library for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay for beauty or spa treatments when I can get as massage from my husband, walk on the beach, swim in the ocean and breath mountain air for free? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. This list goes on and on until we cut spending and find the money we need to meet obligations. This continues until the liability is met. We evaluate and make changes to lifestyle accordingly. We save instead of spend. If we spend more than we make and then find ourselves in a situation where we cannot make ends meet, is the government interested in bailing us out? If I run the household budget and balance the books, do I deserve to be given a golden handshake just for doing my job? If I take the weekly grocery money to the pokies, gamble it and lose, is the government interested in bailing me out?

What is the value of my household to a government?

In our small business, if we need money to pay expenses, we find it by cutting costs elsewhere until we have enough money to cover the costs. We look at our business budget and see where we are spending and what we are purchasing and evaluate what we can cut that doesn’t immediately benefit the business. If we don’t have it we don’t buy it. We spend only what we make. We ask these questions – Do I need to pay for a new desk when I can make do with the one I have now? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay for the latest I PHONE when I can use the one I have now? No – so add that cost back into the deficit. Do I need to pay wages for an assistant when I can manage my time (and that of my team) more effectively and add a little more onto every team members jobs so that together we all achieve what is needed? Twenty or Thirty minutes each day lost in productivity actually costs a company thousands of dollars in a year. No – so add that cost back into the deficit. This list goes on and on until we cut spending and find the money we need to meet obligations. This continues until the bill is met. We evaluate and make changes to operations accordingly. We save instead of spend. If we spend more than we make and then find ourselves in a situation where we cannot make ends meet, is the government interested in bailing us out? If an employee or manager fulfils the expectations of their role – i.e. does the job they were hired to do, do they deserve to be given a raise or a golden parachute just for doing their job? If I take the annual wages budget and invest it in a new enterprise, gamble and incur losses, is the government interested in bailing me out?

What is the value of my small business to a government?

In our body, if we exhaust our adrenals through stress, the stomach can no longer digest food. When this happens the pancreas steps in – the energy is taken from another system elsewhere until we have enough to cover the costs. The Liver is producing bile that is not efficient. If bile is too acidic it will not digest fat so then pancreas tries to digest. The body is trying to meet its nutritional needs by robbing from different systems to keep alive. The body’s agenda is to live and it will cling to life as long as it possibly can so it looks at its energy budget and identifies where it is spending and cuts what isn’t immediately benefitting the body. We evaluate and make changes to our lifestyle accordingly. We save instead of spend. If we spend more energy than we have and then find ourselves in a situation where our bodies have no fuel to survive, is the government interested in bailing us out? If I look after my health and balance all my systems – spiritual, emotional and physical, do I deserve to be given a golden handshake? If I run marathons without fuelling my body, gamble and lose all my energy, is the government interested in bailing me out?

What is the value of my body to a government?

In Wall Street, as in our households, small businesses and physical bodies, a deficit can easily be balanced by cutting costs elsewhere. Thats if they are interested in asking the questions, taking the cuts and making a few sacrifices of course.

Operating and managing a physical body, household or a business is the same as running a country. Each needs Infrastructure, Healthcare, Housing, Employment, Fuel, Food, and Education. It is in the appreciation of living in alignment with Natural Laws and understanding the cycles, seasons and patterns of Mother Nature through building long term sustainable wealth in every human currency (spiritual, social, financial, physical, vocational, mental and familial) which has been long proven as the most effective way of life. The simple key is appreciation.

I believe this is a privilege to be witness to this global catalyst of great change in our lifetimes!! Appreciate the opportunity to identify the surplus in our lives as well as the deficit that will balance whatever deficit that may loom as a result of this great balancing of the books.
