๐ธ The Way You Handle Money Is the Way You Handle Yourself.
Letโs take a moment and stop pretending money is just about numbers... It isnโt....It never... ๐ซMoney is a mirror. And most people donโt like what it reflects. Hereโs the part that stings: Our relationship with money reveals the exact range of our voice we feel safe expressing in the world. ๐ฅIf you hesitate to ask for what youโre worth, youโre not being humble. Youโre managing the fear of rejection. If you undercharge, overdeliver, and quietly hope someone noticesโฆ thatโs not generosity. Thatโs negotiating for approval. Money exposes the ceiling youโve placed on your own significance. Thatโs why it triggers people. Now letโs go deeper โ structurally. ๐ซขMoney is energy in motion. Exchange. Transfer. Circulation. Energy itself is neutral. It doesnโt wake up moral or immoral. Energy amplifies intention. A scalpel in the hands of a surgeon heals. In the wrong hands, it harms. The scalpel isnโt moral. Money isnโt either. When someone says โmoney is bad,โ what theyโre often revealing is discomfort with power, visibility, or influence. Because money does one thing very efficiently: ...It magnifies whatโs already there. ...It removes friction that was hiding you. ๐ฅNow hereโs the axiom โ and this one holds everywhere: Money expands to the level of identity you feel safe sustaining. Not the identity you talk about. Not the one you perform. The one your nervous system can tolerate without threat. You donโt receive what you want. ๐ซYou receive what feels safe to hold. You already know the Law of Exchange โ what you circulate returns. Value given generates value received. Withholding creates contraction. But money follows deeper laws too. 1๏ธโฃ The Law of Self-Equivalence You will not consistently earn beyond the level you believe you are equal to. If you feel smaller than the room, your pricing reflects it. If you feel inferior to your clients, your boundaries soften. If you donโt place yourself on equal footing, you call it humility. It isnโt humility...Even though its tempting to label it this way....
