Feeling Poor? Turn Something into Something More-5 Ways
By Catherine Kasper and the Angels of Abundance
Are you clever enough to take the abundance spirit sends to you and turn it into money? Here are 5 ways to creatively turn "something" into "something more" by processing the raw materials that constantly present themselves to us.
1. Be willing to dig through the pile.
Really look at what you've been given, already have or are thinking of buying. Digging through things allows you to find the hidden values. What do you have lying around that you can return to the store, sell, or use as barter? Are you willing to say, "Hey, I'm not proud," and dig through sale bins and tag sales, allowing yourself to purchase things at a huge discount? I've recently found, while digging through my possessions, that I had hundreds of dollars in items I'd purchased and never used. I spent the afternoon returning things and counting my newly found cash.
2. Be willing to innovate.
Figuring out how to use the same old thing in a new way is like performing a magic trick. Whenever you need something, stop a minute and think creatively. Look around your house. Is there something you already have that could be used as something else? While remodeling, I'd been in need of a vanity for the bathroom. A friend of mine had kitchen cabinets she was getting rid of. My carpenter turned the cabinets into a vanity by removing the top drawer and adding a sink and countertop. I saved several hundreds of dollars. A quick browse through shops will reveal all sorts of items made by combining seemingly disparate things. Will you choose to be as innovative by recreating that which you already have or will you simply go to the store and plunk too much money down for something already made?
3. Never say "No."
Whenever somebody offers me something for free and my first reaction is "Ewww, Ick!" I make myself stop and think for a minute. I figure that if spirit is sending me free stuff, spirit is also sending me ideas about what to do with it that brings abundance to me or to others. I was at a rummage sale the day after I wrote this. There was a huge, very beautiful rug. When I asked the price, I was surprised to hear them say I could have it for free because they knew I had to spend money to clean it. They simply wanted it gone. I gladly accepted the gift, rented a carpet cleaner and spent most of the afternoon working. I now have the option to either keep it or sell it.
4. Process the raw materials.
If someone gives you bushels of tomatoes you, of course, begin making marinara sauce or salsa and keep cooking until all the tomatoes have been transformed into luscious treats. You don't let them rot. What is it that spirit has given you "bushels" of for free that you haven't yet taken advantage of? What do you receive in ample quantities? How can it be processed into something you can use? What do you attract that can be passed on to others in exchange for something else or sold?
5. Spot the diamonds in the rough.
Develop the skill of seeing what things can become instead of what they are. When you look at something old and worn do you pass it by or see it as it could be if you used a little elbow grease on it? Countless numbers of remodelers buy homes that are in need of great amounts of work because they know they stand to make a lot of money when they sell it after they fix it up. Allow your Angels to guide you and assist you to see in this way.
Doing even one of these 5 things can change your focus from the poverty of only having "something" into the wealth of having "something more." Will you rise to the challenge?
