A flower in the heart blossoms on the surface - Chinese Proverb |
I got my 'money lernin' from the parents I chose, Linda Goodman and Amway. What brought the whole thing together for me was the experience – of course. That's what always 'brings it home'.
I did a fair share of failing, of blowing it, of getting caught in the various traps and illusions that seem to follow money around … And now, I get it. I live it … even when it's soooooooo hard I just want to tell myself a bunch of personal lies. The tantrum raging inside me when I really want to spend money, neeeeeeeed some foolish trinket, take on (justified) debt, break my own rules … is nothing short of junkie-style fiend.
Since about 1997, I've been winning way more often than the inner gremlin. Money 'issues' don't cause me to betray myself anymore. There's lots more to learn and there's lots to teach.
