Let The People In your Life Know They Are Special

    Take a little extra time this Valentine’s Day( or any holiday) to let the loved one’s in your life know how important they are to you. When you go out and buy them a greeting card,take the time to  personalize it by writing your thoughts and feelings from your heart inside the card. This will mean so much more than just putting your signature below some pre-written words in the card. Better yet, buy a card that is blank inside or even make your own card! You don’t have to worry about coming up with some clever rhymes just tell them what is in your heart. You will be surprised at the response you get!

Happy Valentine’s Day

 So What Is The Bottom Line On My Money?

   So after reading the first two parts of this article, we know that:

•  The way we relate to money today has much to do with the way our parents and mentors related to money.
•  In my life there was a lot of guilt surrounding money due to the struggles in my parent’s lives.

   What I will cover in this 3rd and final segment to this article is how my past influenced my relationship with money.

 Where’s My Money? – Show Me The Money!

  Looking back on my younger years, I realize that I never was able to save much money. It seemed, I would spend it just as fast as I made it. That really didn’t concern me too much because I was happy I didn’t have to ask my dad for money any longer, for the things I needed. It was very freeing for me to be able to have my own money – guilt free.

  Years would pass and I got married and a couple years later my wife and I had a son, and a few years after that a beautiful daughter. The funny thing is, as I grew older my money issues stayed the same. I worked hard, made a decent living and yet never managed to save or invest much. I always made sure my children got whatever they wanted because I was not going to subject them to the guilt that I had to go through. No Way!

 What is My Money Mindset Now?

  Even though my wife and I managed to save and invest as we matured in life, I never felt we were doing as well as we should and that always puzzled me, until I took the assessment on money at the seminar I was at. I realized it wasn’t how I valued money, and more to do with how I valued myself. The feelings of guilt I had at that young age, asking my dad for money, transpired to me feeling unworthy to having money and that is why as I grew older, I would spend money as fast as I made it.

 How Do You Change Your Money Mindset?

  The first step to any change is awareness, followed by conscious and persistent action. It is not easy to change years of bad habits and it takes much discipline. I suggest investing in yourself with reading, financial coaching and always be aware where you are financially by having a set routine and system for your finances.

 So take a close look at where you are financially and ask yourself; “am I making as much as I could?’ “Am I saving and investing as much as I could?” Am I charging my clients and customers what I am really worth?” You might find the answers to be more about you than the economy, job market, stock market and other external circumstances.

 What Is Spiritual Health?

  There are many definitions for spirituality and spiritual health and perhaps that is because it means something different to every person defining it. Here is a definition I like:

• “Spirituality is a sense of meaning and purpose, a sense of self and ‘that which is greater than self’”.

Spiritual health is having the ability to believe in the things that are unseen. Spiritual health is also the ability to take control of your thoughts and emotions. Spiritual health is living by faith and faith gives us the strength to follow through.

Why Spiritual Health  Is Important In Business

  Making money is primarily the ability to deal with whatever emerges and to be in complete emotional control so that you can make logic based decisions. By responding to situations with logic instead of reacting with emotion you will be on your way to increasing your wealth. Most people stop just shy of reaching their goals without even realizing it. They put much time, money and effort into the projects they are working on, and stop just short of the finish line because they lose their emotional control. By focusing your mind and following through on faith, you have the strength to go beyond the troubled times and receive the benefits of your hard work. Trusting in a Higher Power, and making decisions based on that trust, allows you to live happy, healthy and wealthy.

How Can I Improve My Spiritual Health

  There are many ways to improve your spiritual health and there is one important factor in each one of the ways.

• Take time for yourself each day.

Yes, schedule it in your day and make it part of your routine. Schedule time in your day for physical activity, reading, meditation and/or  prayer, saying affirmations and going outdoors to be in nature. These are just a few of the things, when implemented into your daily life will give you the strength to follow through on your goals when times get tough, so you can cross the finish line.
