Know Yourself, Know Your Money
know what’s really important to you?
Your money is a huge part of your life as it determines what you can and cannot do
and where you can and cannot go. So learning how to manage your money the
right way is an important step toward taking control of your life. But before
you learn how to effectively manage your money you need to get to know
yourself a little better.
The relationship you have with your self should be the most
important relationship in your own life, and you know why? Because only by
embracing who you are fully, can you unlock ways that can bring you balance
and happiness to your life!
If you ask me, people have way too many limiting and toxic beliefs about money, about what is possible and what is impossible. And as a result, they ignore
their inner voice and intuition. They ignore their valuable gifts and talents,
and they start doing those things that they think will bring them the big
bucks. Failing to realise that you can have all the money in the world, but if
you’re not honouring yourself and your life path, and if you’re not living in
alignment with your life purpose, you will never be truly happy, fulfilled at
peace. You’ll always feel like something is missing…
So how can you learn more about their own personalities, strengths
and interests?
All the answers that we need are within, not without. We look outside
ourselves for many of the things that are meant to bring us happiness, joy,
and fulfillment, failing to recognise that the greatest treasures of the
world won’t be found outside ourselves, but rather within ourselves.
Think about your values. Your values are your standards and the things that
are important to you. A satisfying financial plan usually reflects them.
Think about your interests. Your interests are activities you do because you
enjoy them. You'll be more satisfied with your money if your use it for
activities that you enjoy.
Think about your abilities. Abilities are your natural strengths—the
things that come easily to you. What are you good at?
Think about your priorities. What personal priorities do you care about?
Think about what you want. Choosing a direction is not only about what you
already like or can do. It’s also about what your money can do for you. Do
you want to use our money to make a difference in people’s lives? Do you
want to maintain a certain lifestyle? Do you want a flexible schedule?
What do you want?

1. Be here Now.
Be present in everything you do. Know that whenever fear, anxiety,
unease, and discomfort arises in your body, it’s only because your mind
is preoccupied with past or future events. We must not run away
from ourselves, avoiding the full truths of our lives. Be present, fully
present. Open up to your resistance – some of our greatest lessons come
from this. At this crucial juncture take time out, slow everything
down and seek inner refuge in the quietude of inactivity.
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. ~ John Lennon
2. Be patient.
Learn to live one day at a time. Take one breath at a time, one step at a
time. Be fully present in everything you do. Learn to enjoy every step of
the journey.
No need to rush things. No need to
push harder and harder every day. No need to move against the natural flow
of life. Take one breath at a time, one step at a time. And you will be
happy. Trust that the best is yet to come.
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees? ~ William Shakespeare
3. Let go and be happy.
Learn to laugh in the face of chaos. Stress less and live more. Give up
your attachment to all the drama that your mind is constantly trying to
create. Let go of all the to toxic thoughts, things, people, and past
experiences that are holding you back in life.
By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning. ~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
