If Money Grew onTrees, it Would be Right Next to That Apple

It's a funny thing, money. It's really only a means of exchange for goods and services. It's really only energy, in a quantum sense. But, wow, what an intense hold it has on us. In and of itself it's insignificant. Put a pile of it in a room with a bunch of people and watch what happens. The ways in which people react to money are almost as diverse as the people themselves.

Some hoard it, others can't seem to hold on to it. Some folks are afraid of it while others revere it like a God. I've spent a lot of time, maybe too much, looking at how I view money. I've also, probably spent too much time trying not to think about it at all. My problem is I never seem to have enough. This spills over into other parts of my life. Not enough time, not enough sleep not enough love. You get the idea. I'm of the mind that if you think there isn't enough of something, there never will be. So, it's a catch twenty-two.

So, how to correct this dysfunction? How to get my mind set on enough. I want enough of everything. I want more than enough. Keeping my mind on this idea, mantra, positivity is more energy than I care to expend. Besides, after a few hours or a few days (like forever), I get bored with it. It's either coming or it isn't I assume. So, is changing my mind set going to actually bring me more than enough of what I want? I don't know. I've never worked it all that much.

There's also that age old question of deserving it. Most of us don't think we deserve enough. I think that's the real reason so many are broke. Thus, the poverty consciousness. Maybe, if we (you know I mean me) don't think we deserve enough, there won't be enough. If that's true then how we feel about ourselves is what we need to change. Maybe, if we can find away to raise our self-esteem, find a way to look in the mirror and say I love you, (I know, sounds crazy)maybe, we can change how much money we have.

Okay, here come all the self help gurus. Well just relax with that foolishness. This can be done with out them. Or, at least I think I can handle this with out them. All I need to do is find a way to like myself better and the all elusive enough I'm searching for will come. Okay, I hear voices saying "What about all the people out there with more than enough who aren't happy?" "Who don't like themselves." Fair enough. I would bet that they don't think they have enough of something. If you don't think you have enough, then you don't. Never will. Remember, enough is relative. It means something different to everyone.

Remember it's all about you. What do you feel, think about money? About yourself? They're related. Really!
