It’s no longer about the money, and its great!

For most of my life I worried about money.

In my younger days there was always more money than month. No matter how hard I tried not spend, it was just always like that. I would say all the time how I never wanted to be rich as long as I could pay the bills, keep a roof over my head and food on the table then I would be ok.

So that’s all I ever did. Only sometimes I wanted stuff, so sometimes the bills didn’t get paid, or they got paid late.

Then one day learned what is probably the most important lesson of my whole life.

‘Whatever you believe in life becomes the truth,
your true belief will make it so.’

I believed that I wanted just enough money, so I had just enough money.

I believed that I always had to watch my pennies, so I always had to watch my pennies.

After learning this lesson, I stopped all my negative or detrimental beliefs about money, and everything else for that matter.

I stopped thinking more money was bad and let go of the modesty that spawned the just-enough-is-enough mentality.

I stopped counting my pennies and started having more money almost right away.

Now when I go shopping if I have the money for something I want, I buy it. I dont spend hours shopping for the best value, I don’t hum and haw trying to justify the expense, if I want it I get it.

Its about how you think, and how those thoughts, if you truly believe them will have an impact your life. That impact can be positive, generated by positive thoughts or they can be negative, as mine used to be. This truth goes for anything in your life, not just money.

And ever since I stopped worrying about the money I haven’t had to.
