How Much Is Life Worth?

  • Posted by Jamie|

When I feel into life, I immediately feel the possibilities. To me, that’s what life is: an endless expression of a feeling, love itself, with unknown possibilities. It’s never the same; it changes from moment to moment. Life is an endless flow just like that of the ocean, always moving and changing.

So what does it mean when I ask the question: How much is my life worth?

It means acknowledging that my life has no price. I can’t ever put a limitation on that feeling. I used to sometimes believe that the value of my life’s worth was tied up in what I had or did. I measured it by the things in my life, the money in my account, the person I thought I was and what was possible according to all this.

Out of fear of not surviving, I would work hard in order to survive. Hoping one day to truly live, once I had all the things I thought were needed in order to live freely. The financial security, the investments and all the other ducks I believed needed to be in alignment so to then be free.

Truly I was not free because I had traded that feeling of being alive for what I could measure.

We are already free, we just keep telling ourselves that we need to make choices in order to become free

If being alive is a feeling and this feeling is experienced through the experiences themselves, then what was I waiting for? All I could ever own in life was that, the experience. I didn’t own anything outside of it.

Lets not wait till we are lying in our graves to appreciate the view that was always there…

Yes, on paper, I may own things like a house, a car, and money. But, what is that really worth if the only thing that is truly worthwhile and everlasting is this feeling of being alive?

So I decided to live for the experiences and lessons that would come with following that feeling. I decided to live life wholeheartedly. I let go of being attached to things and started living for what was my most aligned experience, what I felt was true for me.

I couldn’t give away another day of my life at a job that would give me a paycheck just so I’d know my bills were paid. I couldn’t tell myself that, when I had achieved my goals or plans in life, I could then do what I love, or only then feel like I had arrived. I couldn’t negotiate or compromise on what I felt to truly do for a moment longer.

I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t live a life based on needing financial security to be free!

My biggest challenge was thinking I wouldn’t survive financially in only doing the things I felt I would love to do in life. How freeing it was to leap into that challenge and realize I was free to live the life I love now. To actually love now, in this moment!

Whether we have the money or we don’t, so many of us live our lives based on financial decisions. Instead of just using money in the same way we express the feeling of appreciation, we separate ourselves from it and try to control it. This, in turn, leads to it controlling us.

If you’re reading this and don’t think money controls you, think about this: How would you feel if, in this moment, I gave you everything that was required for you to live your dream life. The one condition? Hand over all your money and know that you won’t make another cent…

What’s the first question your mind raises??

If the question was money-related, know that you are not free. Yes, money is required in this experience of living. But, when I really came to know myself: It is never me that needs to make money… If that went over your head, don’t worry! It went over mine as well for some time. Eventually, I started letting go of my ego.

To simplify it a little: Think about your breath. You are breathing right now. When you go to sleep, you know you are going to keep on breathing through the night. You don’t go to bed thinking about where your next breath is going to come from, do you?

Our breath is just energy, the same as money. But the difference is we have been conditioned to think about where our next dollar is going to come from or where we may be giving it away to.

Life is energy, a constant expression of it. If we are attached in any way, we are giving life away for something. We are trading what is already ours for the idea that we lack something.

Who we are is limitless. But, we must be prepared to let go of what we think limitless looks like to experience ourselves limitlessly. How radical are you prepared to be in order to know you truly lived?
