We have been told largely that our sense of safety and security comes down to what we earn and how stable that income is.
We think that the more money we make, the more control we will have over the quality of our lives.
This though in a lot of ways, is a fallacy. Security is not tied to how much money we make, if anything it’s tied to how we handle our money. Even then though that can only give us so much. This is an important distinction to make because often, in our pursuit of more money, we actually give up important parts of ourselves with the notion that once our pile of money grows bigger so will our sense of safety.
We convince ourselves that this trade-off will be worth it, even though it isn’t.
Covid has shown us that even the most seemingly “secure” jobs and industries have been rocked. It has allowed us to see that safety and security are never guaranteed, regardless of what work we choose to do.
There is power in knowing this.
Ultimately the only thing you truly need to feel safe and secure is YOU.
Nothing external – not your perfect morning routine, how fit you are, what your relationship status is, how many books you read or degrees you have, how much money you make – none of this will eliminate the chaos that is part of the human experience.
Safety and security come from our ability to trust ourselves that we will be able to handle whatever comes our way.
On this week’s episode, I cover:
- How to separate money from the sense of security
- How to shift power back to ourselves and build trust in ourselves
- How this leads to the belief that wealthy and success people don’t suffer
Remember that you’re doing better than you think.
Together we’ve got this.
I believe in you.
