Money Matters Part Two
"Most people don't have money because they don't understand it. They talk about cold, hard cash and it's neither cold nor hard -- it's soft and warm.” – Zig Ziglar
In Part One: Money Doesn’t Care, we went over the foundations of money. Stepping back and taking a look at what it really is and what it represents without our own attachments. In Part Two we take that new foundational knowledge and look at actions to support those truths.
Giving and Receiving
1.) A Clenched Fist Has No Worth: If you’re gripping onto those two dollars then your hand will not be open to receive ten. When you are so focused and attached to holding on to what you currently have, you are closing yourself off from receiving more. Furthermore, if you’re not willing to spend money on you or your business, what does that say about your belief in your worth, the worth of your business and your own belief in the success of both? Holding on to what you have will not bring more money in.
2.) Warm Fuzzies are Better Than Cold Prickles: This is a lesson I learned in sixth grade. We were given these balls of yarn that hung around our necks, when you received one, you played with it, and it was all fuzzy. Eventually though the newness wore off, you stopped playing with it, and it would turn into this droopy thing. Money is energy, it needs to flow, let it flow, pass it on, transform it, let it become someone else’s warm fuzzy. Another will come your way.
3.) Fix Your Damn Truck: Okay, a little specific, my truck “Helen”, I love her, though she needs work on her front tire and her undercarriage is a little rough. If I’m not willing to spend money on something that I enjoy having, what does that say about how I’ll treat new things that enter my life? Take care of what you have, spend the money on what matters to you, show that you appreciate what has come into your life, including yourself.
4.) Let Money Flow to You: You need to not only be able to give but also to receive. When money comes your way, be thankful for it, you are worthy of receiving it, just as much as anyone else. Accepting and appreciating money, what it can be transformed to in this world does not make you a bad person, unless you choose it to. On the flipside, not accepting doesn’t make you a good person either.
The best mindset when it comes to money is that of an abundance mindset. It has been shown that practicing daily gratitude can help with this. I also recommend this meditation (CLICK HERE) on Abundance by Bob Proctor.
