If you are feeling undervalued at work or home and find that you are only getting a trickle off the ocean of money flow, it may have to do with how you spend your money.

We all are working double duty to provide for our families and ourselves. We have become a population of people who are always looking for the best deal, the largest quantity for the lowest price. With the internet, we can now shop 24 hours a day.

But what values have we given up to get the best price. As a society we believe that to make money you have to take advantage of someone who looses. In the end we will lose.

Have you ever wondered why the hugh flow of money doesn’t make it’s way through you bank account? You must realize that every dollar you spend creates a lively hood for someone else. When you become overly responsible or even stingy in your spending you are holding back the flood gates of money flowing to you.

If you truly value what you purchase, pay the value it is worth. Stop trying to get the best deal, each time you do, you create the energy in your life to be under valued and to provide more for less. You shoot yourself in the foot each time you do it. If you want to be valued for the work that you provide then you must value the people who provide to you.

Take a look at tipping. A waiter or waitress is paid a wage that no one can live on. Their employers are counting on you to subsidize their livelihood. If you don’t value them no one does.

Many of us now shop at the large quantity stores. How long will 24 rolls of toilet paper last you? What the manufacturers are doing is selling you more for less. It appears that this is great for you and the manufacturer, but in the long term it’s bad for both of you. You can only use so much toilet paper. You are not going to purchase more than you need and you have now undermined yourself.

Don’t get me wrong. I believe in healthy competition but this energy of ignoring the value of a product has our society in a spiral of not being valued.

We as a society are so consumed with getting the best price that we have almost no consideration for what the products do to our environment. Think about it, would you be willing to pay $1.00 more per gallon of gas if you knew that it would provide a clean healthy environment for your children’s children? If you don’t start thinking about this now, you will be responsible for their doomed fate.

Many manufacturers often give product away for free. This is a healthy way to get you to try their products. If you like them, then support this manufacturer by purchasing their products, when you do this manufacturers will be forced to start providing better quality products that support our environment.

Stop the price shopping. Stop looking for something for nothing. There is a price for everything and in this case the price you pay is your flow of money and your value. As a society what are we doing to each other and ourselves?

Create a flow of money in your life. I am not giving you license to get into debt. I am asking you to start looking at the value of what you pay for what you purchase. Start looking at the flow of energy that you are creating with the transaction. Start creating the energy flow of value. Be grateful for the products you receive instead of the great deal. The more grateful energy your give out the more you will receive.
