keeping money in your head
"A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.''
- Jonathan Swift
A few random thoughts this quote prompted:
There’s a fine line between having an understanding and good relationship with money (in your head) and letting money become the driver of everything you do (in your heart).
It’s impossible not to think about money on a regular basis, but when you obsess over it, allow it to be the lone determination of “success”, and make it the center of your universe, you increase the likelihood that you will make decisions that do not align with your authentic Self and set your Self up for discontentment, frustration, and unhappiness.
While money shouldn’t be in your heart, your heart should guide your money.
Our authentic version of our Selves lives in a material world where money matters; however, there is nothing authentic to any Self that places the value of money at the center of importance of life--this is why money comes last in the alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money.
