For all the talk about being a spiritual person, not requiring the treasures of physical goods or the complements and praise of others to know that you’ve done well in your life, there’s still a part of you that actually craves and desires all of that and more. And the truth is, that’s okay. You’re human, and unless you’re bent on living in isolation in a cave somewhere and existing as a monk, then you probably like and need more than just the basics of food and shelter to truly live a happy, fulfilling life.

Today’s crystals come up together to remind you to take a look at your life from the big picture. Blooodstone represents all the hard work and toil, the energy you’ve put into trying to make a living for yourself. You may feel like you’ve won in some instances and failed at others. The emotions behind all of that come up with Blue Calcite – the ups and downs behind wondering if it is all worth it or not. Only you can come up with an answer to that question, but it’s a question that needs to be answered nonetheless.

Understand that your definition of wealth is entirely up to you and, as such, you get to choose if you’re happy with what you have or not. Don’t let friends, family, or society tell you that you need more or bigger or flashier if that’s not really what counts for you deep down. Take that step back and look to what adds value to your life. How would you like to be remembered, honored, even glorified down the road? Is what you are doing today in alignment with that vision you have of yourself, who you want to be? If yes, I commend you. If not, then start shifting things, little by little. Remember, this is all up to you.
