It's Not About the Money
Many of you are probably saying, "Oh, yes, it is!" Don't get me wrong, I love money. It's great!
Let's give a mention to all the fantastic things you can do with money:
It makes you feel good when you have lots of it.
You can buy lots of cool stuff with it.
People respect you more if you have it.
You feel successful if you have plenty of it around.
It gives you the ultimate freedom.
Who wouldn't want lots of money around with all those great benefits? So, let me just make it abundantly clear here, I am not saying money is bad in any way. I want people to stop running their lives with it.
Does money run your life?
Ask yourself these questions:
Does every decision you make revolve around money?
Do you make decisions that you know in your heart are not right, but financially they "make sense"?
Have you stayed at a job, just for the money?
Have you stayed in a bad relationship, just for the financial security?
I know money has run my life for most, if not all, of it. I spent my entire childhood swinging on a financial pendulum (at no fault of my parents, just life circumstances), holding on for dear life.
Unfortunately, once I had a little more control of my own finances, I went ahead and built my own pendulum and jumped on (what seemed to be) willingly.
Recently, I have been experiencing a personal and professional awakening. Through this experience, I have started to notice all of my decisions are based around money. I have been making decisions that I knew were not right for me or my familyjust because we "needed" the money. Well, I have put a stop to that.
One day I was trying to make a very important decision. I was torn between what my heart knew was right, and what made financial sense. I did not know what to do.
As I was sitting quietly with myself, trying to figure everything out, I heard my father's voice in the back of my head. "Take money out of the equation. Then make your decision." Once I did that, my decision was as clear as day. I was a little nervous, but I knew my heart would not steer me wrong.
I can honestly say, that is how I try to make all my decisions now. If I am really struggling with what is right, I stop and see if money is the largest factor. If it is, I take it out of the equation and follow my heart. Life is much easier that way.
