There are more personal finance guru’s out there
than you can shake a stick at. How do you know who to trust, and what advice do
you integrate into your life? Oh, there are so many questions when considering
the variety of financial tips and tricks that are available.
But the real challenge is to find your own
financial voice. What do you believe to be true about the value of money? Is
this something you share or keep to yourself? Knowing yourself – spiritually,
mentally, emotionally – is one of the most important parts of the human
journey. I ask you to know yourself financially
as well. Define for yourself what you believe to be true about money. Stop
looking at external influences for a moment, and spend some time writing down
all that you believe to be true about money.
Understanding our thoughts, beliefs and feelings
will be helpful in creating the financial life we want, but it’s important to
note that some will also be limiting. The challenge is to separate which ones
to keep and which ones should go. However, you won't know how to proceed until
you have taken the time to know what you think, believe and feel about money.
Try this simple exercise. Look at each word below,
and write down the first feelings/ideas that come to mind next to them.
Money:
Wealth:
Poverty:
Investing:
Debt:
Now that you have taken action, continue with other
money- related words that stimulate strong responses for you, and write down
your first thoughts to those as well.
If you really want to step up your growth, share this with your spouse
and ask if he or she would be willing to do the same with you. You will be
amazed at what you learn about how your partner sees money.
