Will Emotional Fulfillment Bring You Financial Stability?

I have often thought about the idea that emotional fulfillment and spiritual fulfillment will help to bring you the abundance you’ve been looking for in your financial life. We all have dreams and desires of being free of the burden of financial problems, the worries that go with working your fingers to the bone and living paycheck to paycheck, many times in jobs that leave you feeling bad about yourself or totally unfulfilled emotionally, and the havoc that can actually have on your mental health and actual physical well being.

But what if you put your mental and spiritual health first? What then? Could you just expect the floodgates of opportunity and wealth to open to you, and your worries about money and material items to vanish? Of course, it’s not that easy, as we all know, but I firmly do believe that emotional wellness and doing what you truly love and have a passion and zest for as your profession will definitely lead to financial success if you pursue it with a passion.

If you talk to any successful business person, they will ultimately tell you that they love what they do, and that this aspect alone is a huge piece of the puzzle to their success.

I am a follower of the teachings of Deepak Chopra, and he always talks about how people who tend to be positive and spiritually fulfilled will naturally be more financially stable, because it all goes together more than you think. When I think of some “rich” people who seem totally miserable, I always wonder if the money is even worth it, and how they got that way in the first place if they are so unfulfilled in many other ways.

Often the story goes deeper than that though, and some of the people who walk the walk and talk the talk of the rich are actually insolvent or having serious money issues because of overspending.

Take for example people like Bernard Madoff. Here is a man who by all appearance ran a successful investment company and managed money for some of the most rich and famous people out there. He lived the life, had the yachts, the vacation homes, all the material trappings of financial success. And yet, look where he is now because of his poor spiritual choices, his option taken to bilk people out of their hard earned money?

His family has been disgraced, he’s in prison, and is now totally poor himself. I’ve also heard rumors that he has incurable cancer, but I’m not sure if that is true. When you see things like this, it is a true reminder that it’s not just money that counts, but it is integrity, spirituality and doing what is right.
