I don't mean that we shouldn't discuss money matters. I mean, don't talk about money. How many of you are confused? Well have you ever heard about the elephant in the room? That's where everyone knows that there is a problem or other issue, but nobody wants to talk about it. The reasons are many, and usually varied. Like great aunt Ida that everyone hates and wishes would just die already, but she won't get the hint. The relatives will all want to get rid of her, usually for their own reasons, but she's still there being the elephant in the room. I'm not explaining it very well.
Anyway, money is often the elephant in the room. Except that everyone talks about it, and nobody has a clue as to what they are talking about. Usually, they are just complaining that there is never enough of it. Have you ever noticed that the more you talk about this elephant the less there is? Solution; don't talk about it.
Sounds stupid right? How will you make money if you don't talk about it? Did you ever consider that that is exactly why, you aren't making more? That you never have enough. Why is that so? It's largely a matter of mental barriers and self-defeating practices. In this case, it's because you are dwelling on negatives. You are constantly reminding yourself that you don't have enough. Many people equate money with success. When you are constantly talking about not having enough, you are sending the message to yourself, and others that you are a failure. As a result, money flees from you like the plague. Also, when you are constantly talking about money you aren't doing anything to earn it.
So let the elephant be in the room. If you want to talk about it say nice things. Talk very little about it. Whisper sweet nothings about it, or to it. You know, that's beyond weird. Maybe it's better to just say nothing about money, or to it, after all.
