Society
has been sending out fear-driven messages that money is love, power,
happiness,
security and a commodity to be chased after as one's mission in
life.
The
disillusionment people have when they subscribe to these beliefs is
devastating.
They have
built their lives around getting rich and
discover
that wealth can't give them the purpose or peace of mind they
want.
Our own self-doubts have programmed us to hear
the fearful sounds
that come
from our family personal experience, and society.
On a
deeper level we know that money is not the source of life,
but our
egos don't, and they drive us to act as if it were.
They
imprison us in self-doubts and prevent us from tapping into
the true
source of our management power, our spirit.
From the moment
we entered the womb,
we became
a part of our family's financial struggle
and the
financial anxieties that went along with it.
To come to
terms with our anxieties,
we need to
work on getting rid of any of the fearful attitudes we've
inherited.
