Think about it. If you had an extra million dollars as a lightworker, what would be the best use of it? Give it away to charity? That is indeed a good usage for many people. But what if you can use that money more efficiently than the charity? What if you already have an outlet for service that could be greatly expanded with that money, putting it to better use than a charity would? Then I'd say you should use the money to expand your own service, such as by building a staff of people to help you.
Being a lightworker doesn't mean being lazy and inefficient. It's reasonable to put some serious effort into optimizing and increasing your capacity to contribute. If I didn't believe that, I'd still be working in the gaming industry. Triage is often necessary. If you genuinely care about helping people, you must learn to say no to the smaller good, so you can say yes to the greater good. |
Steve,
I agree 100% with what you said above.
When I mentioned about you not donating all money to charity what I'm really trying to say is that by your definition of a lightworker you are I are not one all the time.
I have a very successful business myself and I often feel good about the good I can do through my donations. I dont' worry about money and so I have time to give time to friends for example. But I am not a lightworker through and through.
The better I do I can help others but I still do vain things. I still possess greed and I will ultimately put myself before others. I don't believe I'm ultimately a darkworker but I realize that I possess both polarities.
What has made me successful is having a clear intent and then focusing my actions towards the outcome I wish to manifest.
Inside do we all possess greed, vanity and lust? I believe we all do.
Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" listed Sexual Transmutation as being one key to success. I think that for successful Lightworkers there must be some transmutations of certain underlying motivations whether they be greed,etc.
