Keep your perspective in overcoming financial trauma.
Remember in my previous post, there’s a “therapeutic mantra” I introduced.
“MONEY WILL NOT SOLVE ALL MY FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.”
As William lied awake at night, he was racking his brain to figure out how he can pay his tons of debts. What more work he can do. What more he can sell.
Until he went to Lotto as he has always been doing and placed a “bet.” Shockingly, he won the first prize and became a multimillionaire!
Of course, he’s able to pay all his debts with his winnings … plus more. He bought cars, houses, and other properties.
But at the same time, William played big time gambling betting millions in the casino, along with living a life of a “playboy” lavishly spending on women.
Only in a span of three years, he lost everything. He’s back to poverty and debts.
One time, he’s found by a TV media reporter managing a little bakery in a far away province. He’s back to his old financial trauma.
William thought money solved all his financial problems when he got millions. Sounds innocent, but he was wrong.
He lost perspective. He served the wrong master. The money he had didn’t solve his financial problems.
We are all in “process.” Lessons must be learned to move forward.
Financial trauma and loss is part of the process of growth. To overcome it, you must realize that life is more than money.
Allowing money to block out everything else in your life makes you lose perspective on what really matters.
Life is bigger than money. Or, your overcoming financial trauma.
Don’t waste any more precious moments in turmoil over a problem smaller than life.
Get the picture? Think about it.
”Don’t let the need for money take those (essential) things away. You can catch up on your bills – but you can’t catch up on lost time.” — Linda K. Taylor, financial writer
