The day I realized that I was not my money changed my life in many ways. I always attached my value to the amount of money I had, and I know many people do this too.
If I had a lot of money I felt on top of the world. When I didn’t have money I suddenly didn’t feel so good about myself. But the moment I realized that “I am not my money” it all changed.
The power of this realization is, that I no longer have to measure my worth to what I have or don’t have. My value is constant and it cannot be measured or put in terms of monetary value. My value is beyond that. No amount of money can pay for my life.
What I also found is that those people who measure their value in monetary terms also look at others that way. Those who have more money are placed on a pedestal while those who are lower on the social scale are seen as worth less.
Discovering this powerful thruth has allowed me to feel valuable and to feel good about myself, whether I have money or not. The level of self esteem you have is equal to your power to attract money and anything else you want in your life.
You’ll never attract the things you want unless you raise your self-esteem. Those who are rich today had a high self esteem even when they were poor. And it is their belief in themselves and their abilities and the ideas that they had, that took them from poverty to riches.
So here is a affirmation I started using after I came to this remarable realization:
“I AM NOT MY MONEY. MONEY IS SIMPLY SOMETHING THAT I MAKE”
