So make your money and make your living, but don't let it define you. Don't let it determine your mood or your self esteem. Don't fall into the trap that got our society in the current bind of materialism it finds itself: that money determines any part of our value other than numbers on a computer screen. Our deepest most valuable assets are our hearts and minds. We have those no matter what. These are the assets we are remembered for; these will be the things that we remember ourselves and others for. How do we treat others in our climb to the top or our quest for more? How do create our living in relationship to others? How do we view ourselves as numbers or as souls?
Don't forget to ask what your greater purpose in life might be. It isn't money. It is never money. It is always how you make your money that counts the most, not whether you do. How do you maneuver through the tough times to make you proud and confident?
As you navigate through the maze of making ends meet this year and working towards growing your business or income back to prosperous levels, you may have to lay people off; you may have to look for a job, you may not be able to pay all your bills.
Put these circumstances in perspective by remembering that these are ordinary realities of the human condition. There is no need to confuse them with greater meaning in your life or to let economic difficulties obscure the core of who you are.
Wishing you the best in the New Year.
