Your sense of logic will guide your decisions today as you review your financial options. By being realistic, you will be able to take charge of your finances and therefore make better use of your energy. It is both sensible and practical to live within your means rather than being in debt. Though we live in a society that encourages us to live on credit, debt drains our energy like a weight we drag around. But by pulling your energy fully into the present moment, you can look realistically at your needs and your income and make a prudent plan. Today your sensible side frees you from the fantasies that drain your present and future.

We are part of two worlds -- the material and the spiritual -- so we need to balance ourselves in both. It is great to visualize and affirm our goals, but at the same time we need to live realistically in the present moment. Money is a representation of our energy, so we want to have as much of it available to us in every moment as we can. By investing in living fully in the truth of the moment, we make sure that we don't drag the past along with us into the future. Instead, we can choose to have a store of energy, also known as savings, set aside for days when we need to rest. Then we can make positive steps toward creating more abundance in our lives. When you live realistically today, you can better prepare for a truly abundant future.
