Self Improvement, Spiritual Growth and Economic Conditions

By Remez Sasson

Do you think that only people who have no financial and economic problems have the time for self improvement and for meditation?

Some people do think so.

Do you agree with this line of thinking?

It is possible that this idea arose, because people who are in a better economic condition have more free time, and they want to fill it with some activity, with some hobby. If this is the case, then are they earnest enough or they are just dabbling?

Self improvement, meditation and spiritual growth do not depend on one’s economic condition.

It is true, when you are in a better financial condition it easier to afford buying books and participating in workshops. However, there are many instances of people living in difficult conditions that care about education, about improvement, and about spiritual growth, and therefore, find the means and the time for them.

We are all looking for something whether that be a better job, a bigger home, a newer car, the right partner, better or new friends, more money, resolving emotional difficulties, moving forward with our lives in a positive way, overcoming upset, dealing with health problems… the list goes on!

The great thing about where we are in our development as a species is that we are starting to realise that if we have problems and things that we want to change in our lives, we have to fix what is stopping us from being able to create it in the first place.

One of the great phrases that is currently used is “your outer world is a reflection of your inner world”. So in other words, whatever you don’t like “out there” can all be effectively changed by healing the negativity that is within you.
