Top 5 things people want most in life and the gemstones that can help you focus on attaining them

We all want the best in life.  We are spiritual souls, each with a mind to help us think and a body to make us mobile.  I strongly believe that we each have our own unique, individual, special talents.  It is up to us to discover them to live and experience a fulfilled life.  Below are the 5 things people want most out of life and gemstones to help you vibrate those intentions.

1.  Choose happiness

For many years my main intention was to make money!  Yup, it’s still up there; however, I had to ask myself the big question, WHY was it so important?  What would I attain from money, and my answer was happiness.  The money would provide me with the freedom to do and go places that filled my heart with joy.

I am willing to put the work in to reach my goals thus making money, but does that mean I have to wait to be happy?  The answer is NO!  It just hit me one day … Why not just be happy and do the things that bring me joy, now.  Stop waiting to enjoy life and just start enjoying life.  I had it all backward; my life was on pause… waiting (tick-tock, the sound of life passing by).  I’ll be happy when… that’s so ridiculous.  Hey wait, why not just do the things I enjoy now, it may require a bit of budgeting and creative spending, but funny, once I had implemented this new school of thought, life (and yes money) started to flow more easily to me. If you are struggling with finding happiness, my suggestion is to just “Be”.  Start investing in experiences rather than material things. Whether it’s creating something, helping others, spending time with friends and family or traveling; start doing things that bring you joy.

Gemstones for happiness:  Chrysoprase, Tigers Eye, Amethyst, Citrine, and Quartz

2.  The greatest wealth is health

Health is defined as physical, mental and social well-being.  Good health enables us to live a full life.  It is not just the absence of disease but the ability to recover and bounce back from illness and other challenges that life presents.  Material things come and go, but health is number one above all.  Therefore to get the most miles out of our bodies, exercise, eat well, breathe deep, meditate and keep the mind active and engaged.

Gemstones for good health: Bloodstone, Amethyst, Aventurine, Quartz, and Aura Quartz,

3.  Love lifts us up where we belong!

Love is the greatest feeling of all.  I am a firm believer in love.  However, I am not talking Romeo and Juliet, “You complete me” kind of love, but a deeper love, an unconditional, unwavering, forgiving love.  The ultimate of all loves is the love we have for ourselves. Self-love helps us to look deep within, understand who we are and what we want, thus making us more confident.  People’s opinions hold less weight and give us the freedom to be genuine and walk our own journey.

Knowing ourselves makes it easier to take care of others and fully engage in relationships, without being dependent on another person.

The happier we are with ourselves the more we can share our light and positivity with others.  Love comes in all shapes and sizes.  Partners and friends come and go.  We fall in love and it’s an awesome feeling, however, the one love we can always count and will always be there, in the end, is the love we have for ourselves.

Gemstones for love:  Rose Quartz, Jade, Rhodonite, Selenite, and Amazonite.

 

4.  Independence is empowering

Independence and freedom is something we all strive for.  Being able to meet our own needs decreases the burden placed on our family, friends, and society; thus turning us into assets, a beneficial resource, a person who can stand on their own two feet (imagine wonder woman pose).  Most likely this comes with gained skill, knowledge, an innovator with independent thought; and ends with the ability to earn our own wage, put food on the table and explore exciting adventures.

Gemstones for Independence:   Moonstone, Carnelian, Sunstone, and Orange Calcite.

5.  Money, Money, Money

Money goes without saying it is on the top 5 things people want in life and this is among the top 5 things people want in their life. It is on mine and I am not ashamed to admit it.  Nothing wrong with wanting lots of it, just as long as we keep it in perspective. Money makes life easier; however, do not confuse it with solving all of life’s challenges.  It can’t buy true love, it can’t buy your child’s way into a good college and importantly, it can’t buy self-love.  All of that comes from being committed, honest and happy with who you are.  Always aim high, work with focus and purpose, enjoy the present, don’t give up, be persistent, learn from your mistakes and always, always, carry a piece of Citrine for abundance.

Gemstones for money: Citrine, Green Jade, Aventurine, and Pyrite.
