When someone says the “M” word (“money”), what sort of reaction do you have? If you’re like most people with a pulse that are drawing breath, you likely have some sort of charge about it. After all we have given money SO much power over us that when we think of it the emotions and thoughts can be overwhelming.
As I say the word money to you, what immediately pops into your head?
- Not enough, lack, scarcity
- Greed
- It rules my life and has me in its grips
- Money is bad, nonspiritual, dirty
- People with money are arrogant, greedy, mean, spoiled, lucky,
- I’m at the mercy of money (that’s why I’m stuck in this horrible job, marriage, relationship, neighborhood, etc.)
- Fear, intimidation, lack of knowledge
- Mounting debt
