Break up with Money

We live in a time when money is a huge part of our lives. Without it you are nothing, worthless, immobile. With it, you have freedom, class, rights. Because of this difference in perception, our relationship with Money has become toxic. Like a bad relationship with a romantic partner. It seems like Money became our pimp and we are the hopeless romantics turning a blind eye to the way it treats us.

When we chase it we forget what it is that we actually want in life. All we start to crave, talk about, and learn about is Money. Most of the bestselling books are focused on attracting it and earning it.

We feel worthless when we get no attention from Money and on top of the world when it shows us some love.

Money became the Master, our consciousness is the Manager, and ourselves, the real us, is the slave. We push ourselves to please our Master.

We push ourselves past our limits, tolerate degradation, and cause irreversible stress onto our bodies just to get a feel for it. We work jobs that we don’t like just to have a chance at Money. Even though we value it so much, we waste it on useless objects just to make people believe that we have more of it than we actually do.

Since early childhood, society has us in competition with each other. To see who will end up earning more Money.

The basic rule to having a great relationship and to get a great partner in life is not to endlessly pursue them, obsess over them, and have no boundaries with them but rather to bring your focus on to yourself. By constantly improving yourself and making yourself better, you will undoubtedly attract great people and relationships into your life. However, even if you are an amazing person with great accomplishments, obsessing and being needy towards someone will only make them not want to be with you and they will end up treating you with no respect.

So what is the secret to great relationships? The answer is quite a paradox. To improve your relationships, you have to find a balance between focusing on yourself and the other person/thing that you want to have a positive relationship with.

Until you improve the relationship you have with yourself, you will always look for fulfilment elsewhere. The majority of our society has found it in money.
