Hey peeps! This is the first of a string of posts on the things I've been thinking/learning about.
Money is wonderful. It is a representation of value. How much you are creating is a representation of how much you value yourself. Money abides by laws and when you do, it follows your command. Just like everything else in the world, when you learn and apply the principles of self government, it does everything you ask it to do.
Money = Value
View of self (value of self) = How much money you make.
If you value yourself high, you will find a way to make that amount of money. If you continue to value yourself at higher and higher levels, you will work to make the equivalent in money.
And vice versa.
And who determines how you think of yourself? The answer is quite simple.
You.
Your value is only dependent on what or how others think of you if you let it be. Don't let it be. It should be dependent on how you think of yourself. If you don't think highly of yourself...
Hi! My name is Dallin Hughes. I'm a life mentor. Let's sit down and talk over a nice cup of steamed caramel apple juice. I'll help you out!
Great thoughts, Dallin. And I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that Donald Trump values himself more than the Dalai Lama? If a person doesn't make a great deal of money, does that categorically mean he doesn't value himself as much as someone who does?
Are there different ways of valuing oneself? Does Madonna, for example, value herself in the same way as does an apostle of God?
Does it take actual work in the physical world to make money, or do you think that just sensing one's own value is enough?
I remember when I first started charging for coaching sessions about 12 years ago. I think I charged $40 an hour to begin with, and at the end of the session, several of my clients told me that they felt I was charging far too little for the results they were getting, and would literally hand me $100 bills, and write me big checks.
It happened often enough, that I decided I had to raise my rates, but I also had to be able to internally match the feeling that I was worth that amount of money, or else the stated fee just wouldn't hold, if that makes sense. And I did begin to feel my offering was worth that amount of money, and so I charged it, and people gladly paid. It was an interesting lesson.
And yes, feel free to bring a nice cup of steamed caramel apple juice right over. :)
Interesting thought, and one I will ponder, but what I think as of right now is that Mr. Trump most likely found value in himself through the people who surrounded him and because of what he has done and become through doing.
DeleteAs far as the Dalai Lama is concerned, I know very little about Buddhism. If you ever feel inclined to send something you like or find interesting about another religion, I will whole-heartedly welcome it. :)
I do know you can tie your value to different things. In many young relationships both the boy and the girl often tie their self-worth to how they are viewed or treated by the other person. So many people tie their value to so many things, like the child who is always trying to receive recognition from their parents, or the Parent who thinks he/she has no value because he/she can never find a good enough job.
Ultimately, I think one's value is tied to how one treats oneself. True value of self requires knowledge of self, which can't come without God, so the more we love God, the more we will value ourselves.
