Money is a product
Note to Self:
I used to think that Money is a symbol: a tangible symbol of energy, and of the flow of energy between individuals and groups. As such, getting it to flow to me was simply a matter of aligning my energy with its flow. Think "money in" and money would flow in.
What nonsense!
Money is a product. But it is not the product of hard work. The most hard-working people in our society include those who are the poorest, those working for minimum wage. And it is not the product of risk. Those who risk the most sometimes win the most, but they can also lose the most. Money also is not the product of money. Children from wealthy families can blow their entire inheritance in no time.
Money is the product of entitlement.
Yes, I said ENTITLEMENT. Those who believe themselves Entitled to wealth generally end up becoming wealthy. That's because they make decisions and act from that sense of entitlement to wealth which makes their becoming wealthy more of a probability.
So, what do I feel entitled to? "Not much!" if my financial net worth is anything to go by! I have less than nothing.
Does that mean I think I'm less than nothing?
umm... yeah, evidently so.
Oh, good god! That's gotta change — and fast! Rent's due and I don't have it — again. This is getting ridiculous!
So, here's what I believe I'm entitled to. I'm going to put it down here, in black and white, and send it out into the world so that I can't reel it back in...
I'm entitled to work that I love; my own business, not scraps from someone else's kitchen; and clients, customers, and readers who love and appreciate what I do.
I'm entitled to an income that allows me to live well; to free myself of debt (money I'm grateful to have received but that now is a millstone around my neck), to have a home of my own, and to have the freedom and flexibility to continue to explore and write about it.
Life, send me that. All of it. With a beautiful big, red satin bow. -Dr. Chris King-
