You may be making sudden financial decisions on a whim today, acting on sheer impulse. But there may be something deeper at work, if you are acting compulsively rather than just impulsively. It's the difference between obsession and spontaneity, and being led by uncontrollable urges rather than making sudden reckless choices. When we talk about abrupt and careless financial choices, we are basically talking about gambling. While it can be a fun way to test your ability to manifest your thoughts, it can occasionally be carried so far that people lose their financial support. Today by knowing the difference between your intuitive voice and the voice of previous ill-fated snap decisions, you can avoid risking your means of financial support.

If we translate the financial aspect of this scenario into another form of our energy, it becomes clearer that what is being chased is a quick fix. For example, rather than working steadily toward peace of mind through a meditation practice, we would be seeking instant enlightenment. Sudden financial decisions may be a way of trying to create a shortcut to happiness and fulfillment, but the quick fix is a myth. Had we made the complete journey with the person who had been called an overnight success, we would know that it was a series of successes and challenges, of preparation and timing that created the success. Today by being more interested in the journey than the destination, you are more likely to appreciate the process of growth toward your goals in all areas of your life.
