Spiritual Spending

You've heard it before—money can't buy happiness. Yet there is a clear link between money and emotions, says Marianne Williamson, spiritual author, lecturer and host of her own show on Oprah Radio. Jean talks to Marianne about the connection between finances and faith:
  • Charitable contributions can make you happy. For instance, if you give money to a cause you believe in, no matter how little, you'll feel good to be part of the solution.
  • Money will come to you when you are true to yourself. "Money is simply a natural result of living in harmony with every other aspect of your spirituality," says Marianne.
  • You don't have to achieve your financial goals to have happiness—you just have to live with integrity and live in virtue.
  • If you are in a job you don't enjoy, ask yourself if you are really showing up every day. Showing up means not just being there, but putting your best face—and effort—forward.
