When Someone Says ‘Money Isn’t Everything’
Generally, when someone utters the phrase to you ‘Money isn’t everything’ they fall into one of two groups of people.
Group #1 is people who want money but couldn’t get it. They heard someone, somewhere utter that phrase and so adopted it themselves to help make themselves feel better about not being able to get any. In turn, in order to attempt to continue the charade by convincing themselves this is really true, they’ll try to convince you of the same thing. They try to make it real by convincing other people that it’s real.
Group #2 is wealthy famous people who’ve never faced their own inner shadow. These are folks who’ve been acting from their unhealed emotional shadow selves their entire lives and were very disappointed to find out that all their depression and anxiety didn’t magically disappear once they became rich and famous.
So, instead of facing themselves and doing the inner shadow work to integrate their deeply unhealed suppressed emotions, they turn to the public and start scapegoating money as ‘the bad guy.’ “If only I had known this sooner” is often the sentiment here.
The question is, what? “If only I had known this sooner, I wouldn’t try to get rich and famous, I would just lead a simple life”? Yeah, right, we’re not buying it.
Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness
It’s true, money doesn’t buy happiness, but the real ‘reality’ here is that money doesn’t buy an integrated emotional body. In other words, money doesn’t magically heal depression and anxiety caused by deeply held suppressed emotional charges from childhood.
But neither do antidepressants nor anti-anxiety meds.
The only thing that heals either one is to allow the body to express itself and finally release these trapped emotions.
In the meantime, it’s okay to make as much money as you want. Never listen to anyone, ever who tells you that ‘money isn’t everything.’ They’ve either never had any or had a ton of it but never faced themselves. Either way, the advice is not coming from authenticity, it’s coming from a place of fear and doubt.

What IS Money?
Money is simply energy, nothing more, nothing less. In other words, it takes on the meaning YOU give it.
·???????It can be used as a means to exchange goods and services.
·???????It can be used as a means to provide yourself with options and choices.
·???????It can used as a means to build and create things.
·???????It can used as a means to control or destroy people too.
·???????It can be used a means to heal or to harm.
It depends upon the person using it. Period.
The meaning you give money is based upon your inner subconscious beliefs you project upon it. In the same manner, the amount of money you receive is based upon these same subconscious beliefs you hold about money and your own worthiness.
There is no getting around it, you create your own reality. This very much includes money and all the beliefs you have surrounding it.

1 年There might be a third category of people who saw others having money but lacking a lot in happiness. Money should not be a goal, but a mean to a goal, so money is not everything, it should be just the ship carrying you to what you desire, no?
