Is Money the Root of All Evil Or Does it Just Allow Us to Get What We Want in Life?

There's an old saying that money is the root of all evil. But in reality that's not actually the case. At its most basic, money is just some ink on a dead tree or some melted down metal or - even more likely nowadays - a few electrons on a computer somewhere. In and of itself, money is neutral.

But, being human, that doesn't stop us from assigning money a personality.

And we tend to associate a lot of negative things with money. "Filthy rich" for example. This deep rooted belief structure is actually preventing us from attracting money.

Just because money doesn't have a personality doesn't mean it doesn't get attracted by people who are relaxed around it. Much like a dog can sense whether or not your afraid of it, money does the same.

Sound far fetched?

Just read up on the lottery winners who end up a few years later with less money than they had before their big win. It's actually deeper than money having feelings. It's our own, internal, view of money that determines whether we'll allow it to join us in our life or whether we'll repel it at the slightest opportunity.

All of which means that if you want to attract money into your life, you need to change how you think about it.

Work out where your feelings lie at the moment. Then dissect each feeling and discard any negative feelings - no matter how small - that you may associate with money.

You'll then find yourself slowly coming to realize that money is actually your friend and that by befriending it you can use it to bring near enough whatever you want into your life. How cool is that?
