Today’s Mandala Message: Become More Valuable — Learn More

This week I’m working through Principles #59 and #60: Master the Spending Game and To Spend More, First Make More of Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles”. We continue with more principles about money and our relationship with it. I set my intention today to ponder ways to become more valuable. Canfield states: “Wherever you decide to put your energies, the key is to become more valuable to your current employer, customers, or clients. … You may need to get more training, develop new skills, create more relationships, or put in extra time. … Always seek out opportunities for more training and self-development.”

Today’s topic reminds me that I need to allow myself more time for learning more, developing my skills more, and trying out new ones. I’ve purchased many an online class on sites like Udemy.com and CreativeLive.com…but have yet to finish the ones I started…and there’s a whole bunch I have yet to even start.

I’m declaring it now…I’m going to dedicate January 2024 to start and finish at least 6 of my classes. All of these classes have the potential to make me more valuable and help me expand on my areas of expertise….with the end result being that I’ll be able to help more people with more tools in my “toolbox”.

A good mindfulness practice would be to ponder ways in which you could make yourself more valuable.

So how about you? Have you considered improving on your skills? Are there classes you could take to help you? Or are you open to expanding your skill set by learning something new?

“Those people who develop
the ability to continuously acquire
new and better forms of knowledge
that they can apply
to their work and to their lives
will be the movers and shakers
in our society
for the indefinite future.”

— Brian Tracy

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
