WORKING HARD FOR MONEY

I grew up on a small farm. We never talked about money, but I knew we didn’t have a lot of money. I did learn that the only way to have any money at all was to work hard for it.

I grew up believing that if I kept working hard, somehow I would reach perfection. I believed that if I worked hard I would somehow earn the right to have money.

After my husband died I started a business, believing that if I worked hard enough I would be OK financially.

ALL I REALLY ACCOMPLISHED WAS WORKING TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION.

I was frustrated and discouraged. Working hard did not bring perfection and it did not bring me lots of money.

It took awhile, but I finally realized that I needed to change my thinking and I needed to work smarter, not harder.

What is your relationship to money? Do you believe money comes only to the perfect or to those who work hard? HOW DO YOU REALLY FEEL ABOUT MONEY?
