We place so much emphasis on money, on pursuing it, on struggling to have all that we can, that we elevate its purpose way above its true value. It is time to re-create our perception of money and acknowledge it for what it really is. Money is one method through which we can barter. It is a method of exchange, a way to give while we get, in a manner which leaves both parties satisfied that their needs have been met.

Bartering for goods and services has been successfully employed from Biblical days. Why can’t we continue to look at money from this viewpoint? I truly feel that if we did, it would automatically lose its obsessive grip on us, and we would be able to live more joyfully, more healthily, and definitely more successfully.

When we truly understand that money really does not help us to solve life’s problems, when we understand that our problems will be there with or without money., we will be able to create new possibilities for success and growth in our lives that are richer and healthier by far than the constant tension and avoidable stress we have allowed our relation with money to have.

We would no longer have to resort to clichés such s "Money is the root of all evil", but could perhaps adopt Franklin D Roosevelt’s beautiful thoughts as noted in this quote: "Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement"

This can become our reality if we have the presence of mind to admit that the way we view our money is merely a function of our past beliefs and we can change this function at will. We can allow miracles to enter our lives in the form of new creations, and a new belief system!
