Last night, I had another one of my weird dreams.
In the dream I was an off-duty police officer walking through a building. As I was about to leave the building I saw a woman and a young man, who was apparently her son-in-law, coming towards each other whilst shouting at each other. And then, they started to fight.
At this point, I had a choice. I could have just carried on walking the other building and pretend I hadn't seen the fight, however, I didn't. I went over and intervened. I broke up the fight and told them both to come down before the situation escalated into something that they would regret.
Sometimes life is like my dream. Sometimes we need an intervention, possibly from an outsider,and hopefully before situations escalate out of control. Occasionally it does us all good to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
This is especially the case in our relationship with money. It is easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day struggle to pay bills, by the things that kids need to pay off our credit card debt. The truth is that our daily struggle with money, or the lack of it,is usually based on false beliefs. I call these false beliefs Money Pixies.
If you think that your finances could use an intervention, or if you are curious about how Money Pixies could be destroying your lifestyle head on over to helpme.gr8.com and sign up for my e-mail series on the topic.
