Hi,

I'm just working through my beliefs and feelings about money that held me back in the past and at the moment prevent me from earning even enough money to pay the bills.

I feel driven to the lightworker path in that I feel a strong urge to help other people and provide real value to the society - so that qualifies as "earning money the right way" as opposed to trying to get something for nothing.

And I trust - or are learning to trust at the moment - that if I concentrate on doing my very best to provide as much value as possible to as many people as possible, then the earning-money part cares for itself as long as I open paths for money coming into my life.

But is there a wrong way to spend money even if it was earned the right way? Is it wront to spent money for myself, for sheer pleasure, fun and luxury?

On the one hand, I dream of a business that helps thousands or even millions of people, and I see myself spending a significant amount of money on growing my business and helping people - but I see myself spending another significant amount of my income for myself and my family - speeking of a penthouse, a ferrari, holidays, just to list a few things that pop into my mind. But isn't it selfish to spend money for myself and my family - at least on more than bread and water (or to provide my family a healthy life, a home that is large enough for us to live in, etc...).

Or simply put: Is it OK for a lightworker to spend money for luxury, or would that disqualify myself and make me a darkworker?

I'm sure I'm simply mising something. Has anyone an idea of what I could think to solve this issue? Is there a way to form a consistent lightworker mindset of all this, or do I have to give up the dream of some luxury for myself in order to fully polarize?
