Speaking to the Soul of Personal Finances – Many people in the world today struggle to make ends meet. They wish they could earn more than they currently do. Life is tough without the adequate level of income required to live reasonably well.
We all depend on our thinking capacities when we are faced with personal financial challenges. It is natural for human beings to reason their way out of trouble. However, many of us become frustrated when nothing seems to work, no matter how hard we try. A few become so overwhelmed that they contemplate suicide.
This series of posts guide you to some key truths about personal finances. You will be encouraged to reach out to a level of wisdom higher than your thinking capacity in solving your personal financial problems. They propose the following paradigm shifts on the subject:
- The state of your personal finances is dependent on your disposition to God and not necessarily your education, skills, job, or the economy.
- A lasting relief from personal financial struggles is achieved when God creates an uncontested space for you in the market. This space will be based on who you have become rather than a mere business idea, such that no one can replicate your market offering.
- There is a portion of your financial portfolio that must be shared with those in need. Your consumption of this portion in the past has acted as a poison against your interests. It has introduced into your life: financial lack, ill health, corruption of moral virtues, and a weak relationship with God.
