Today's
quotation:
When it comes to your money,
what you think
will direct what you say, what you say
will
direct what you do,
and what you do will create your
destiny.

Today's
Meditation:
Money.
It seems to be our blessing or our curse, and whichever it
is isn't necessarily based on whether we have lots of it
or very little of it. Whether it's positive or
negative for us depends upon how we see it, and how we
treat it.
Money
seems to be something completely objective, not under the
influence of our beliefs or our desires. We earn a
certain amount of it and we spend a certain amount of
it. If we earn more than we spend, things are great
financially. If we don't, well. . . .
Suze
Orman says here, though, that our own thoughts determine
our monetary or financial destiny. The ways that we
perceive money have more to do with how much money we have
than how many hours we work or how much we earn.
Though that sounds like a counter-intuitive statement,
I've found over the years that it most definitely is true,
at least in my life. When I've worried and obsessed
about money, I've had no extra money and I've had a hard
time making ends meet. As I've finally learned to
relax about money, though, I've found that even when I
don't have much at all, I'm pretty comfortable and I never
run short of it when I need it.
What
we believe about money is a huge part of how much money we
end up with. And changing our belief systems about
something as seemingly out of our power as money is one of
the most difficult, but most important things we can
do. We must believe that we'll always have enough
(because God and life do take care of us if we
allow them to), we must believe that we are deserving of
financial stability (because we are), and we must
believe that our abundance is ours to share (because it is)
if we're to find true peace in our financial dealings.
