Download and color this week’s
Mandala of the Week
This week’s MotW is inspired by Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles”, namely Principle #58 Pay Yourself First. Canfield shares a story written by George Clason where in it a money lender gives advice to the main character: “A part of all you earn must be yours to keep.” It’s suggested that he put aside at least 10% of his earnings and making it inaccessible thus allowing it to grow over time.
Over the next seven days, I’ll be delving deeper into this principle via multiple colorings of this mandala and posting them on the Mandalas of the Day. My plan this week is to ponder this principle and seeing if I can make it work. I’ve tried in the past…several times…either it’s my lack of discipline or it was at a time when I was living paycheck to paycheck.
So how about you? Do you pay yourself first…before your expenses? Are you in a position to do so? If you can set it aside, are you able to leave it be in order to let it to grow?
“When you recover or discover
— Jean Shinoda Bolen
something that nourishes
your soul and brings joy,
care enough about yourself
to make room for it
in your life.”

An Invitation
I invite you to color along with me this year as part of what I’m calling “The Year of Self-Exploration and Expansion” with all of my “Mandalas of the ___” (day, week, month, year). If you’re interested in a more self-exploration approach to coloring, check out my “Coloring Mandalas as Meditation”.
