Your financial situation today is the result of the mental patterns you have had so far. So you must prepare and empower yourself internally before you can conduct conversations about money with confidence and security.
But don't worry, this doesn't have to take you 20 years! Just read carefully these 3 mental changes that I propose and adopt them in your life.
It will be one of the most powerful exercises you have ever done!
1. Money is not bad
For centuries it has been instilled in our minds that money is not a pleasant subject. And all people who manifest that they have an excessive interest in money are considered greedy and unspiritual.
This is why money is considered a taboo subject. We should not express more interest in it or talk about it, unless it is strictly necessary - and in that case, conversations about money are often tense and unpleasant.
The truth is that money is neither good nor bad. In the Bible it is clearly said that the LOVE for money is the root of all evils (1 Timothy 6:10).
Money doesn't hurt, it only makes two important changes in your life:
- It allows you to do more: give more, invest more, buy more, travel more, etc. It magnifies what you already are: if you are generous, you will be more generous. If you are greedy, you will be more greedy.
Stop looking at money as a necessary evil and invite it into your life, with open arms, as a tool to do good, for yourself and for others.
2. Your way of handling money is the way you handle everything else
You cannot put the money in a separate compartment of your life.
Many people do it and deceive themselves. They treat money as just another area of their life, but they spend most of their time, effort, and energy on it. There is a contradiction there.
It is better to see money as something that is intimately linked, in one way or another, to all areas of your life, and give it priority without feeling guilty about it.
3. Your money is not yours
Your money is not yours. Like your time and all your other stays, it is a resource that God has placed in your hands and, therefore, you must manage well.
Once you realize that your money is not yours, but that you are a mere administrator of what God has placed in your hands during your short stay on Earth, you will begin to treat it with the respect it deserves and you will be much more careful when it comes to spending it, negotiating your fees with a client and managing your business in general.
