Fighting Life Back with Full Blow Punches

Getting Cut of at the Knees  This week has been an extraordinary week for me. Just as I had finished reading a few more chapters in the book “The Energy of Money” and really understanding a few concepts about forgivness and facing my own dragons, life throws me a blow so hard that it knocked me to my knees. It felt more like my knees were “cut off.” And true to form, fear became so strong that I wanted to run away from this financial disaster. Just as I have done before in the past. But not this time. I plan on  facing my financial evil dragons and slaying them one by one. One lesson I’ve learned this week is money problems don’t go away no matter even if you pretend they’re not there. Twenty weeks and counting In twenty weeks, I’ve … Read entire article »

The Energy of Money “Principle # 5″

Understanding Scarcity The concept that Maria Nemeth introduces in this chapter is Scarcity. As Nemeth put it, “Scarcity is on of our deepest fears.” I must say, this principle struck home the most for me.  One of the areas that she talked about which recently I’ve come to realize and accept is that we have limits. On the physical plane, we’re all limited. We are limited to the amount of time we have here on earth and the amount of money we will make in a life-time.
