Your Ransom to Live

The way we live, do you ever actually begin to question it?

To live paycheck to paycheck, accepting that this is normal?

To be constantly stressed out about your finances, to believe it’s normal to live this way.

I don’t know about you but that doesn’t sound like living, this is pure survival.

The world is built to keep you in a constant state of survival.

To get a big raise and believe you are supposed to use that new accumulation of money to be spent on new clothes, new products, the next new iPhone.

To believe that all happiness depends on what you own and how much money you have.

To believe once you “make it” you’ll finally be happy.

You’ll finally feel that feeling you’ve been chasing from becoming financially free and “successful”

Just to reach the top and realize nothing about how you feel has changed.

To feel the constant pressure to have more, more, more.

And if you don’t have as much as someone else means you are worthless.

This tie money is the cause of so much suffering in this world.

The acceptance of reality that money defines who you are by the amount you currently possess.

Does anyone else not find this type of thought absolutely insane?

You do realize, you could finally have all the money in the world then something happens or comes up that requires you to lose all of it?

What are you doing do to when that happens?

How are you going to define yourself in this moment?

Because if you defined yourself by the value of money you possess, you will go from a success to a loser.

And this definition of being defined is so absolutely flawed.

Money is a tool, a currency.

It is a vibration just as everything else on this planet.

It is not something to be possessed and obsessed over.

Because the more you obsess over something, the more likely it is for you to lose it.

Because you must learn not over possess one thing in life.

We slave our lives away to have it.

We use it as a way to define and idolize ourselves.

We believe if we don’t have enough of it or that we run out of it that we are no longer safe as if money defines our safety.

You might say,

“Well, money is used so we can pay our rent and have homes, so not having money means losing your house which literally means our safety is compromised.”

And to that I say yes, money pays for safety but only because the system was built to make safety something you have to buy.

That’s not freedom.

That’s a ransom.

My purpose here is just to understand what money has been twisted into our beliefs.

Money doesn’t define your wealth.

Your knowledge and mindset is your true wealth.

Money doesn’t define your happiness.

The peace you have with just existing in this beautiful and insanely crafted reality defines your gratitude and appreciation to live.

Money is a tool, a currency, a constant of usage, not a matter to define yourself by.

Once you understand this concept, you will look at money in a positive thought.
