One thing that you can do to increase your money. Do you remember the scene from Spiderman where he laments the death of his uncle…my fault, my fault, he says…if only I had stopped him…and now uncle ben is dead.  Guilt…the commonest of the commonest emotions that course through our bodies…we feel guilty about everything…what we did , what we didn’t… what we have and what we don’t. Today, however, I am going to talk about a specific kind of guilt….guilt about having money. 

Money is not just physical money but mixed up with so many emotions like shame, guilt, embarrassment…we feel bad about the money we have…and it shows up in various ways. How often have you cringed or felt uncomfortable when someone refers to you as rich?  We buy a new car and a friend says ‘ wow you are moving up’ & immediately we feel a bit defensive
We move in to a new house in an upmarket locality and we are trying to downplay that we have not changed…
We get a windfall , through inheritance and we are guilty for having more, because we feel we have not earned it.
I hear so many people saying “ They think we are very rich”…and my question is WHY NOT
Of course , I was not always like this, I have gone through the same emotions…We have so many judgements about  being rich , “ show –off” ‘arrogant’, “rotten scoundrels’ that we reject the very idea of wealth…and then we wonder why money doesn’t stay with us!
Here’s the bottom line! Feeling guilty about the money and wealth you have does zero good for you. Because money is not what makes you good or bad. ..money only magnifies what you are.
….a jerk will always be a jerk whether he has one dollar, a hundred dollars or million dollars.
There’s really no need to feel bad about being rich( unless you got it through wrong means-in which case you should feel bad)
Who are you serving by remaining poor? Who CAN you serve by remaining poor?
Now I know you understand all this logically, but our years of conditioning keep us feeling guilt.
Now going back to Spiderman, “with great power comes great responsibility” …would you rather be rich and empowered or poor and struggling?
And on that note, let me share my favourite tool from my tool box
