Many of us have been conditioned to think,
I’m just not good with money.
Money is the root of all evil.
I am fine with money (when really you’re just ignoring it while telling yourself you’re fine).
But what if I told you that these beliefs are nothing more than a tangle of thoughts holding you back?
And these thoughts are telling you a big fat lie,
That keeps you in a holding pattern, preventing you from living the life of your dreams… that you were meant to live while you are here, on the planet, in this body, now.
The truth?
Money is a tool…
That helps to build the life you were meant to live.
It’s a vehicle, that helps get us where we are going on our life’s journey.
A tool does not determine your life’s story, you do.
The real truth?
Our life, in this body, is about unlocking our inner wealth—our talents, dreams, and potential…
Crafting and living our story…that fills us with delight, excitement and pure joy…learning what we like and don’t like along the way.
Most of us see money as a necessary evil, a barrier from achieving the really big things we want in life…
Rather than embracing the notion that it is a skill to be mastered, that once done, it is the very tool to help us step into that life we want.
It gives us more options to choose what we want, without restriction.
A tool, a vehicle, not the driver.
We get to choose.
Imagine for a moment that money isn’t a source of stress or confusion but a key to unlocking your life’s possibilities.
What would you do differently if you believed that financial success was within your reach?
If you reframe money as a tool to be mastered, that will step into the life of your dreams…
What is one step you can take today to sharpen your financial skill level?
Keep it simple. Maybe:
- Examine what you are telling yourself about money and ask if it is the truth.
- Take action to understand where you really stand financially by tracking your net worth on paper, instead of in your head.
- Understand why you overspend, putting yourself farther in debt, because you’ve given up any hope of ever digging out so you dig yourself even deeper.
While you are sharpening your skill level… in whatever way calls to you today,
Know this…
The numbers in your bank account do not define you. It’s just evidence of all the money choices you’ve made before today.
Just data that shows you what feels good, what doesn’t and what you want to change.
Don’t like what you see? Change it.
We are on the planet for such a short time.
Every moment we have is a chance to redefine our path and use the tools at our disposal—money included—to craft an amazing life story worth living.
Your dream life doesn’t have to be a distant fantasy; it’s a reality waiting to be realized and shaped by you, guided by an open mind and willingness to step action.
Taking full responsibility for your life… especially when finances are not supporting the dream you envision for yourself, and overcoming that money obstacle…
Can be one of the biggest accomplishments of your life. Money isn’t the obstacle we think it is. Our thoughts are. Don’t like where you are with your finances?
Decide to change it. This, you can do.
Remember…
Money is a tool, a vehicle to get us where we are going.
You get to drive.
