Free To Be

[Jenifer Madson]

As I work my way around the country, I ask people, "What do you want money to bring you?" and invariably someone says "Freedom." When pressed for details, they usually explain, "The freedom to go where I want, when I want."

But what about the freedom to be? Who would you be if you didn't have money concerns? Would you be happier? More relaxed? Would you be friendlier, more creative, and more spontaneous? Whatever your choices, what affect would it have on your life to show up with more of these qualities?

Take A Minute:
Think of a personality trait that would flourish if you had less money stress.

Make A Minute:
Be that person today, all day, as though you were perfectly free to be. Notice and record what results from that practice.

This exercise is about more than just "acting as if" you've already achieved a certain level of success. This is about choosing to strengthen and display the wonderful qualities that you already possess, regardless of your financial circumstances. Along the way, who knows what opportunities and success your wonderful presence will attract!
