I wanted to share another money breakthrough, and it builds directly on my last post because I can see now that the pattern goes even deeper. In my earlier post, I talked about how money felt like a rescuer or savior to me, and how that tied back to old childhood patterns and a mother wound. But what hit me now is this: I've also been seeing money as an authority figure. In other words, --> Not just something I needed. Something I obeyed.
I was letting money rule my emotions, dictate my choices, and instill fear in me. I was treating it like it had power over me. It's been my master, on a pedestal, completely taking over my life and choices.
Money is not my master. I am not here to obey it.
I manage my money. It obeys me. It is here as a tool/resource to support my life, not rule it with fear.
That shift also makes so much sense in light of what I shared before about my mother wound. If money has felt like an authority figure, a rescuer, a punisher, or something that decides whether I’m safe, worthy, or okay, then of course the relationship has felt crappy. But I do not want to relate to money like a frightened child anymore.
Money is not my savior. Money is not my authority. Money is not my master.
I lead. I manage. I decide.
I am the CEO of my life <-- (I credit this way of thinking to "Surrounded by Setbacks")
Money follows my command.
