Money is a medium of exchange. That's all. Why, then, do we saddle it with so many unrealistic expectations? Here are some of the things I have unconsciously demanded money provide:
-security
-sustenance
-respect
-success
-happiness
-beauty
-love
Notice how these are all partially or primarily states of being, inner attitudes. Money might be able to help manifest intangibles, but it doesn't directly provide any of them. It can't. It can provide a book; it can't provide happiness. It can provide a new shirt; it can't provide beauty. It can provide a diamond ring; it can't provide love.
And what have I done lately for money? Not much. But I can start to ease up off it. Accept it for what it is and quit yammering at it to fix everything. It isn't money's job to fix anything. That would be our job.
