I thoroughly believe that when the sun is shining it is going to be a wonderful day. Of course it is going to be a wonderful day. How can anything else happen? When I go back in my mind all my memories support that belief. This is what I have chosen to believe. What is my belief around money?

When the recession struck us last fall I took both smart and not at all smart decisions regarding money. I could have decided to take on an old belief that I am no good with money or I could have taken on another belief that I am good with money.

The old belief is the one that keeps me small and in fear of the world I don’t know. It is not keeping me in the light, but rather in the dark without any hope to get out. While the other belief tells me that I can take care of my money. It says who I am in essence. I either know or can find out what to do because I am good with money. Which of these two beliefs is going to serve me better in the long run? Which one will make me feel better and stronger?

I made a choice to believe I am good with money. The world is now going through a financial roller coaster. I am not responsible for that, but I am responsible for my own life, to do the best I can and enjoy life. With this choice I stand in the light and stand strong.

As I have talked about in a previous blog (Who Said That You Are No Good With Money?) many of our beliefs were handed down to us from our parents and surroundings. In general everybody wanted the best for us. They handed us their own beliefs. One can hardly expect them to do anything else. How could they hand down beliefs they didn’t have or know about? It is our own responsibility, as we become adults, to decide if these beliefs, that we were given, serve us or not. We can choose something different.

It is from our beliefs that we act and it is our choice. We will make choices based on these beliefs whether we know it or not. Therefore it is important to choose beliefs that serve us, and helps us stand in the light. With these choices we choose to live a life of abundance.

Love and peace,
