E43 Be Mindful of Both Economy and Energy – The Dual Lesson of Jesus’ Birth

The Nobody Guide to Life: Personal Growth and Spirituality Tips and Tools You Can Use Right Now

If your origins are in a stable, you still have the same right to personal and spiritual growth as someone decreeing a census and taxation from a palace. December brings Christmas – a celebration of the birth of Jesus for Christians around the world. But it also brings the realities of the economy and materialism. And that’s just fine.

Maybe this time of year is a way to be more mindful about the two sides of our nature, and how it really is possible to soar to the highest heights of spiritual and personal growth while living everyday life right here, right now, right in the world of jobs, bills, and the economy. Hear the story of Jesus in a new way, and discover what it can teach us all about empowering the events of everyday life to help you not only walk the line between economy and energy, but reach the highest heights – all with the tools you have available in your stable.

“December has come to represent something important for the spiritual and the secular among us. And really, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“That dual nature of the month provides us with an opportunity to learn balance…to make choices.”

“The journey of personal and spiritual growth takes on so much more meaning when we see it in the context of where we are and where we want to be.”

“When we realize it’s our day-to-day activities in the material world, right now, that can provide us with the experiences we need, in order to grow beyond them, that’s something special.”

“No matter how mundane an event seems, it has the stuff of greatness built in.”

“A candle casts the same light in a rural farmhouse as it does in a ballroom in the grandest mansion.”

“You are a person who may have a paycheck to earn, gifts to buy, and bills to pay, but you’re also a person who has dreams to dream, enlightenment to reach, and a message to bring. And those things are not mutually exclusive.”

“If we all have that bright spark of energy or the divine within us, then we can all have a destiny that stretches out from any humble beginning to any lofty goal.”
