My parents have always encouraged me to save money for a rainy dayāthat every time you reach a financial milestone something always comes up to put you 10 steps back. As innocent as this mindset seems, behind it lies a subtle undertone of self-sabotage. Behind it lies the fear and expectancy of something going wrong. āItās always something,ā Iād hear my parents say. Over the last few years, Iāve become more aware of my own self-talk and the narratives of my childhood conditioning. Iāve realized that Iāve had a very limited perspective on money. As a kid, I always strived to go to college, get a degree and then a decent paying job that could afford me a comfortable life. I remember having a conversation with my dad years ago. He made a remark about how I may not make a lot of money with my altruistic endeavors. And at the time, I agreed since I was pursuing a teaching career. I didnāt care about the money as long as I could make a difference. Thatās something Iāve always struggled with being such a spiritually-inclined person. I didnāt think it was okay to desire financial prosperity and be spiritual. As the saying goes āMoney is the root of all evil.ā I believed wealthy people abused their power or manipulated their way to the top. In my mind, they had to experience this gain immorally. Even that old saying, āMoney canāt buy you happinessā presumes that most wealthy people are miserable while people with less are happier. These beliefs no longer resonate with me as my relationship with money is changing. Maybe money canāt buy happiness but it can afford the tools to cultivate it. Thatās how I see moneyāas a tool. Not as some evil force with the power to control. As I release fearful, lack-based beliefs about money, I open up to the flow of abundance in my life. ⢠⢠⢠#Pisces #PiscesMagic #PiscesSeason #themysticmodel #tarot #tarotreadersofig #tarotreadersofinstagram #blackgirlmagick #esoteric #occult #spiritual #writingchallenge #journalchallenge #writersofinstagram #writersofig #divinationcommunity #blackvoices #astrology #horoscope #meditate #pussymagic #lilwitch #magician #alchemy #wednesday #abundance #prosperity #humpday
