What Is Your Relationship To Money?

Many of us spend a significant amount of time worrying about the scarcity of money in our lives. A large number of us have also bought into the prevailing norm that money is a scarce commodity, one that needs to be relentlessly pursued, often at any cost.

Lynne Twist’s book ‘The Soul of Money,’ challenges us to change our perspective on money, and thus transform our relationship to it.

Myths About Money

According to Twist, there are three disempowering myths of scarcity around money that are so insidious it is nigh on impossible for many of us to escape them:

• There’s not enough: this belief creates a fear base that underlies many of our decisions and actions.
• More is better: this belief drives a competitive culture of accumulation, acquisition and greed that heightens fears and quickens the pace of the race, but doesn’t make life more valuable.
• That’s just the way it is: this belief creates an environment of hopelessness and disempowerment.
