MONEY MESSAGES
By taking stock of all the past influences on your money life, you will become more and more detached from their powerful voices. This will enable you to relate to money as you alone would choose to do, in a way that reflects your fundamental values --- Olivia Mellan
Money messages are so deeply ingrained in our childhood and more often than not, it triggered some form of painful emotional reactions.
What did our parents convey the messages of money to us? Did they discuss it openly? How many negative remarks did you hear as a kid, when you asked for an extra dollar, most likely you will get a response of “ Do you think I print money or what, or money does not grow on trees!”
These statements have encoded in our head and control our daily behavior, yet we are barely conscious of their influence.
We may earn more than our parents, however we are still replaying their disapproving messages.
It is high time to put a stop to all these and record a different message for your own financial well being.
Maybe your parents did not invest in stocks, shares and mutual funds, but how do you reasonably know that they would not have if they had known about them?
Getting unstuck from your past unpleasant memories takes time. You can turn your financial life around, but it means a willingness on your part to explore opportunities that your parents may never have heard of.
You may not attain wealth beyond your dreams within the next year, buy you will be much closer to it if you bury your past experiences with those unpromising money messages.
New financial ideas and new behavior that will encourage wealth begin in your head.
Write down all the negative comments you heard about money while rowing up. Then rewrite each negative comment as a positive statement.
