Now, let me ask you this, do you want or need more money? Do you have enough? I never seem to have enough! Clearly, we can all agree that money is necessary for our survival. However, it also means so much more to us than just survival.

The further on you read, you will begin to understand what money really is and what some of the issues are in our struggles with money. First, lets look at what money really is. The finances that we enjoy indicate three main things:

1.the quality of our lives daily
2.the level of our enjoyment
3.the level of freedom we experience.

It is obvious, that if your finances are severely limited, so too would your ability to obtain the better things in life. For instance, you would not be able to travel as freely, which in turn would limit your ability to embrace foreign cultures. In effect, your options would also be severely limited.

A few issues in our struggle with money

Are you beginning to see that money is not just presidents and pyramids floating around on green paper? Try to visualize money as a stream that courses through your very life.

Those who experience a drying up of money, also experience a drying up somewhere in their lives. This drying up of the stream can easily hinder relationships; certainly it carries health ramifications and also can disrupt your sense of inner peace.

I'm wondering if you feel as though you are always stymied or stuck in quicksand, unable to get out no matter what you do? Watch this; have you ever thought why simple strategies seem to work well for your friends and not for you?

Are you discouraged because the harder you work the more your lack of forward movement frustrates you? Have you ever felt like things are not coming together for you?

Do you know what I mean? Am I way out in left field or are we on the same page? Have you experienced some or all of this before?

After years of struggle, have you found out yet what money means to you? Ask yourself this question, what are you doing or not doing that has you stuck in a vice grip? Do you know what your main struggle is?
