Money: Living Rich

InSuesShoes.com Life Advice, Personal Finance
March 15, 2017

Money and the mind are inextricably entwined.

What moves so many people? Money.

Why do most people work? Money.

What allows for freedom? Money.

What provides anything you’d want? Money.

Or so people think. But there’s just so much emptiness in this outlook.

Sure, if we all had more than enough money, perhaps we would have fewer worries. We’d not lack for material items. Perhaps we’d even quit our jobs.

But that’s not likely what would happen.

Consider tweaking your perception of money—then consequently, the perception of the bigger picture (that is your life). Doing so may just improve your world exponentially.

Money moves people. Indeed, it does. Physically, anyways. It can move us to accept a position, to get out of bed each morning, to produce for others so we may receive a paycheck, right? We’re moved to action, but that is not motivation. Motivation holds deeper purpose. Motivation is fueled by desire, by passion. Be motivated, not simply moved.

People work for money. Of course! We work to pay our bills. But then what? Paying bills is a completion of a necessary task. Yes, that’s good. But instead of the mindset to work for money, work for purpose. We offer most of life’s waking hours toward a job. Wouldn’t life be so much richer if we worked for purpose (and paid the bills)?

Money allows for freedom, we think. Perhaps. But then what? Move to an isolated island to exist Jimmy Buffet-style with margaritas and sunshine? Sure, sign me up. For a while. Then reality would set. For most of us this will never happen, but even if so, it’d be a temporary relief—but not a sustainable solution. Therefore, it’s not freedom. Fulfillment is a necessity. Freedom and fulfillment? They’re like peaches and cream; they just go together.

So how do we get there?

Give your perceptions an honest review. Seek out passion in your work. Create opportunities to explore more areas of interest—at work and outside of work. Make time to expand your world. Doing so, you’ll give back and grow at exponential rates—where it matters most. Within you.

Happiness truly is NOT linked to an abundance of money. Happiness is derived from what’s on your daily to-do lists. And it’s those you allow into your world.

Yes, bills exist. Mortgages must be paid. Bank accounts should grow. But in the big picture of life? It’s your personal well-being and individual growth that brings fulfillment—and a wealthy, healthy life.

That, friends, is living rich.

Change is Beautiful. Even when it SUCKS.

The bedroom was pink, just how I liked it. My canopy bed was draped in dainty, white linens. Just how I liked it. My parents knew how to make a little punk princess-wanna-be happy. And I liked it.

Yep, my room was my refuge. My hangout. My personal recharge station. I’d close the door behind me and enter my world. And once a month or so, I’d overhaul my kingdom with a complete rearranging and redecorating of said Sue-Land. 

So I was a weird kid.

Or it could be that beneath the young pigtailed exterior, I’d actually discovered a valuable life lesson: change could transform emotion.

With change, surroundings still felt comfortingly familiar, but yet new. Clean. Organized. And I’d surely uncover new amazing discoveries—like unearthing pics of Bo and Luke Duke that I’d TOTALLY forgotten about. 

Change refreshed my atmosphere. And it was All. Mine. 

Change is everywhere, and within everyone, so as it’s the one, true constant in life, why not appreciate + embrace it?

Look outdoors. Or better yet, lace up the tennies and step into the fall weather. 

In October, change is in-your-face evident. Leaves change colors to brilliant yellows, oranges and reds. Air temperatures change from summer’s heat to a cool, crisp breeze. Breathe in the air. And be grateful for the breath. 

With an attitude of embrace, let’s recognize that change can, indeed, equate to goodness, new discoveries + opportunity. Although it’s never easy, even painful change can lead to peaceful contentment and personal growth. 

In short, change can effectually knock life’s fragments into concise understanding + order. 

Hey, we’ve all journeyed to arrive where we are today. Where we sit right now. In this moment. 

The past for you may have been a smooth road (and hooray if this is you!), but for many of us? It was Pothole City with periodic pitstops in, well, the pits. But you know what? Instead of holding on to yesterday’s pain, interpret the past as a segue that helped transform, or change, you into the person you are today. And then? Let go of the past pains. Remember, the past is a time of reference, not a place of residence. Live where you are right NOW.

So inhale cool temps and be grateful for the breath. Step on fallen leaves to hear their seasonal crunch. Notice the scents of the season. Appreciate life’s changes. Keep fighting through challenges, expecting positive growth on the other side. Because thanks to change? You’ll find an even stronger, better you.

Just how we like it.
