Happy Money
Money isn’t just about a number, it’s about the energy behind it. If there is positive energy behind it being paid and earned, it’s happy money.
All the money circulated with love, care, joy, and friendship is happy money.
Money circulating with frustration, anger, sadness, or despair is unhappy money. Unhappy money is the money you stress about and don’t enjoy spending.
Mending your relationship with money and ensuring it is happy is more important than having lots of it.
Many people have a scarcity mindset toward money where they focus on what they don’t have (and supposedly need before it’s gone and others take it).
It doesn’t matter how much you have or make, it is your feelings about money that determine your wealth.
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it does ease many of the discomforts that make it difficult to be happy.
Making, spending, and keeping money is just as much about EQ (emotional intelligence) as IQ.
Because our expenses and lifestyle tend to grow with our wealth, more money is rarely the solution to money anxiety or financial freedom.
Everyone’s upbringing uniquely shapes their relationship with money to form the blueprint they follow into adulthood.
You can increase your happy money flow simply by showing gratitude and appreciation for the money you receive.
Money is energy that is pulled or attracted to magnetic people.
Wealth has two parts: Stock and Flow. Stock is your collection of assets, and flow is your income.
If you have assets, they can earn you income, which handles the flow component of wealth, but you need flow to build your assets (stock) that eventually increase your flow.
The joy of money is in the flow (spending and making), not the stock (holding and owning).
How fast you get your money, as in how fast and slow you earn it, is often how you lose it.
The key to ensuring more money is thanking it when it comes in and thanking it again when it goes out.
Without gratitude, happiness is impossible. If you live in fear of your money and finances rather than express gratitude, you will never have happy money.
Find abundance in yourself and security in the people around you.
Do what matters most and let money support you in that journey.
5 steps to getting the flow of happy money:
- Shift out of a scarcity mindset.
- Forget and heal your money wounds.
- Discover your gifts and talents to acquire happy money.
- Trust in yourself and those around you.
- Say “Thank you” all the time.
