Like many Baby Boomers, I grew up in a household with hidden beliefs of “limitation” and “not enough”. Money was so tight that to give each of the 4 kids one dollar to spend in at the county fair, nickels and dimes were saved for months.
As a Financial Planner and stockbroker I worked with thousands of individuals and families. It was fascinating to observe how often clients had their personal feelings of self worth and their net worth intertwined. If the market was going up they felt hopeful and powerful. If the market was in a downward cycle, anxiousness and fear were their feelings. Studying metaphysics for 30 years taught me that the nature is permanently prosperous. However most of my teachers talked about the concept of abundance but did not personally live a worry-free prosperous life. Their often inspiring talks left me feeling that they had delivered a truckload of bricks to an unprepared building site. Without an architectural plan, foundation, or workers to construct the house, the pile of bricks remained sitting unused on the empty lot. The “how to create permanent prosperity” was missing. Abundance is a wonderful concept but without a plan or a step-by-step path it is impossible to get from where you are to where you want to go. I spent decades trying to resolve the concept of abundance and my feelings of limitation around money. By the time of my retirement in the late 90’s, I had conquered my love/fear of money. At last, I felt unlimited and free of money fears. During the stock market slide in the past 5 years, my feelings of “being rich” were tested. Like most Americans, I lost a sizeable percentage of my wealth. Moving to Las Vegas two years ago allowed me to buy a house of my dreams at a comfortable price. On the inside it is your feelings and beliefs about money and the outside, you’re spending and giving habits. All of these programs allow you to live a rich life, no matter what the number is in the checkbook. Our educational system does not offer a class called Money 101. We all learned about money from observed and unspoken family behaviors. It is not the number in your account, it is your feeling about the number in your account that causes you to love or hate your money. Money is like water. Money does not feel, it simply flows. TIP: For the next few days observe what you say and think about yourself and money. Is it loving or fearful? Next, decide: Are you willing to shift? Making a conscious choice to shift from hate or fear about your money to love and appreciation is a beginning. Shifting your thoughts to a loving and accepting attitude will invite more money into your life. What you appreciate, appreciates.
