Let's talk about Money

I play the money game to win. My intention is to create wealth and abundance. Together with 500 people in a conference room, we repeated these words and many more that our speaker asked us to repeat after him.

If you had walked into that conference room as an outsider, with no clue about what we were doing, you might have assumed we were running a cult. People with very skeptical minds would likely never attend a seminar like this because they lack openness to the possibility that we can completely change our paradigm and feelings around money.

In the end, money is just a currency that allows us to exchange our time and energy. We can do bad things with money, but we can also do good things with it. If you’ve created any other weirdness around money beyond this, you’re probably part of the 90% of people living in scarcity—blaming the government, your past, the environment, and everything outside yourself. These people believe their lives are shaped by circumstances.

But circumstances don't create men, they make them.

It’s not about being right or wrong, just or unjust. It’s about creating awareness about yourself. The higher your self-awareness, the more openness you can create to truly change your paradigm.

After curing myself from schizophrenia and overcoming many fears—I’ll write a separate blog post about that later—I know that winning the money game is easy. I’ve already done the hardest part.

You see, people who are poor often ask, “What can I get?” The universe responds, “What can I get from you?” From the moment you start to ask, “How may I serve?” the universe responds, “How may I serve you?” This is something I learned from 101 Ways to Transform Your Life by Wayne Dyer.

What I’ve realized about my own limitations around money is that money is a separate energy form. In my case, scarcity was connected to not feeling worthy of receiving money.

In the seminar, the speaker talked about four archetypes related to money:

1. The Saver: My parents were both savers. They lived in scarcity, always looking for ways to save instead of occasionally having some irresponsible fun. Don’t get me wrong—my parents are healthy middle-class people enjoying their retirement with beautiful vacations. But their way of navigating finances is outdated.

   
   

2. The Spender: Like most children, I became the opposite of my parents. I became a spender, which brings us to the second archetype. Spenders often spend when they feel emotional, whether to celebrate or grieve. They’re also more prone to addictions. While savers are grounded and tend to modify their habits, spenders often go all-in—on every level.

   
   

3. The Avoider: I also realized I had been an avoider—not just in my financial life but in my personal life too. How you do one thing is how you do everything. The moment I decided to face my demons and admit where I had failed in life was the moment I started to take responsibility. I acquired the ability to respond in the present moment. People like me, who feel deeply, also have the power to channel those emotions into creation. When you learn to direct your energy, you become a leader in life.

   
   

4. The Monk: The monk believes money is the root of all evil and that we should go back to trading services or possessions. But can you imagine how impractical that would be in today’s world? Underneath this belief often lies a deeper feeling of unworthiness.

   
   

Something I’ve noticed is that people without much money spend a lot of time and attention on it. Their decisions are constantly limited by it.

But is it possible to do something you love while making money? I believe it is. In my life purpose training, I teach how.

If you’re skeptical and think I’m trying to sell something, I understand. I’ve been there myself. What I realized is that it’s not about the other person trying to sell—it’s about limiting myself and not believing in my own worth.

Today, I know my value, and I know I’m worthy of the beautiful energy form we call money. I love money, and money loves me.

Imagine if more people started living in that frequency. Imagine if all the people with gifts to share didn’t have to work for a boss but could truly share their talents with the world.

Earning money isn’t about you—it’s about the responsibility you have to share your gifts with the world.

I will never stop investing in my self-development, as I’ve been doing for the past 11 years. I know that those who are ready will gladly exchange their money for my time and energy.

Our greatest fear isn’t that we are inadequate; it’s that we are powerful beyond measure.

Stop searching for the truth from a mental or skeptical point of view—it’ll only affirm the negative. Where energy flows, reality grows. Instead, start believing in the world you want to see. True change begins within and as a result the external will respond

That’s the responsibility we have when it comes to money, energy, and time.
