Have you noticed
That gaining, earning or consuming money is always a hot topic.
Before I dive deeper let’s figure out what holistic means.
Holistic: "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" expresses the essence of holism, a term coined by the South African general and statesman Jan Smuts in 1926.
What’s the relationship to money?
We often think of money as purely physical. Something you see and feel. However holistic refers to mind, body and soul.. the whole.
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. ”
Money’s Roots
Originally money was a form of transaction between people agreeing on an exchange of value. Yet today it can represent corruption, greed and misappropriation. Which are completely opposite of wholeness, connection and unity.
So how can money be holistic?
Is it possible to feel whole when looking at your bank account?
The Real Problem
Money is never the problem, it’s who’s managing it. If someone feels anxious, jittery or uncomfortable when thinking about money then the remedy would be to learn its purpose and how to manage it.
If someone experiences the sinking hole of debt then the remedy would be to learn how to manage it.
If someone has an unlimited cashflow but wants to ensure a luxe lifestyle then the remedy would be to learn how to manage it. Even if they hire someone, they should always know their numbers.
The Holistic Side To Money
I took you down the rabbit hole above to make a point which is MANAGEMENT. When you properly manage your finances it will grant you …
Peace Of Mind
Ability To Give
Donate Where You Desire
Experience Security
Have Time To Enjoy Life
Take Care Of Your Needs
Invest In Your Mind
Know That “Every Little Thing Is Going To Be All Right!”
That list sounds holistic to me, what about you? It’s funny how a tiny subject like money can disrupt our life or add value to it. The real question is, “How are you managing your money?”
