Our wonderful yard guy, Chris, cuts our grass every two weeks. He leaves a bill when he feels like it. I don’t know if this is the best way to do business, but Chris knows that I’ll pay him whenever he gets around to leaving me a bill.
Today, as he was finishing up with our yard, I walked outside and asked him, "Are you going to leave me a bill today?" He replied, "Well, no, I wasn’t planning on it but I can." Being in no hurry to receive the bill, I said, "Whatever works for you, works for me!" Next he yelled out something that surprised me. "I’ll leave you a bill next time. You know, I don’t need money! I’m made of money!"
Actually, this was news to me. I’m pretty sure that Chris is not a billionaire and my guess is that he does indeed need money. I knew he was being playful and yet I wondered if he realized that he was also being powerful in that moment. I couldn’t help but notice the way he smiled as he proclaimed his wealth. He looked bigger and lighter too. It must have been freeing and fun to say "I'm made of money!" and act as if it that was his reality.
I loved hearing Chris shout out such an empowering perspective on money. Personally, I'd veer away from saying, "I don't need money." as that statement does not carry much magnetic energy. However saying or thinking, "I'm made of money." feels pretty darn good! Chris inadvertently reminded me how powerful it can be to try on an empowering belief about money.
What's your perspective about money? Do you have magnetic energy sprinkled into your perspective about money?
