Changing Our Money Mindset

One of the biggest contributors to our success with money is our mindset. The way we think about it and the way we feel about it can affect our entire relationship with it. One of the first things that has helped me in my financial journey was to understand this. One of the best books that I recommend on this financial journey of yours, is “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason. When I read this book, one of the things that stood out the most to me was that instead of saying, “Oh I don’t have money because I have kids”, we should be saying, “Because I have kids I need to make more money”. I don’t know about you, but as a parent that resonated with me so so much! Because how true is this? So many of us give ourselves excuses as to why we have not accumulated money, and if we have kids we might inadvertently shift our carelessness with money to them. It’s easy to fall into certain beliefs and lie to ourselves about it. But when we finally decide to make changes in our life, the first place we should start is within our own mind. When I finally came to the realization that I was tired of living in an impoverished state, both physically and mentally, I first had to look within myself and first of all believe that I was worthy of more from life. Then I found my inspiration, my kids, because yes I do want more from life because I have them in my life. I deserve more. You deserve more! Remember to look at all of the magic around you, and I am sure you will find your motivation too.
