There's no fear like money fear
Let's say you grew up in a family that, for whatever reason, imparted a lot of money fears on to you.
Maybe your parents never had much, or maybe you felt their fear that the rent wasn't going to get paid, or the utilities were going to get turned off, or all they talked about was not having enough money, and how frightening it was, or all the things they had to do just to get by; and you picked up on that. In addition to that, everything that was said to you--"money doesn't grow on trees you know"--all those things that were said to you, pounded it deeper in. So this generated a great deal of fear in you as a child.
Now as you grow up, you have a little mastery over that, just from growth alone, and so it now becomes anger. Now most people who are just flat out angry at wealthy people. Or angry that someone has made money on some idea, and angry about the whole concept of figuring out a way to make money. And so the fear has now been converted to anger, resentment--a kind of slow burn on the subject.
But that, too, is profoundly dysfunctional. It won't lead you to success to indulge all of that. Success comes from the lighter touch, from being much higher on the ladder, so that money is just simply numbers that come and go, and there's a feeling of flow to it. Money doesn't make you happy. It's the opposite. Happiness makes you money.
Money flows in very easily when I am joyfully serving people, and it flows out nicely to good causes. There is a sense of flow, instead of a sense of hoarding and clinging and grabbing. The grim clench. It comes from a childhood fear that permeates adult life.
I want to see all the positive aspects of converting my talent into prosperity. How many people it really helps, including me and my family, and how much it makes me more creative, and gives me more options, than if I'm angry, and fearful, and just clinging to the very little bit I have, and resentful, and mad at the government, and wondering which program is going to be there to take care of me, and how come my health care and mortgage can't be free, and how come this, and how come that. It's just a mass of worry and resentment around everything that has to do with money. And none of it is necessary.
So step one in succeeding financially is to lose the fear. To reflect back on my childhood and notice where the fear came from so I can laugh it away. What was my original belief system around money? How big a deal did I make it in my mind? And how can I free myself from all those fears and those terrifying belief systems that have been built up over the years?
I want absolute freedom. Financial fearlessness. I want to create wealth from a beautiful present moment awareness of grateful living. So I can just create it through inventive, imaginative service of people.
So step one is to address the fears, to de-program them, and then re-program them into courage and creativity, the watchwords of an upcoming mastermind experience. It will border on the surreal.
