I’ve thought about this subject before, pondered writing about it myself. You have to focus on money somewhat. However, constantly worrying over acquiring more money or the lack of money can take away from life. I want to thoroughly enjoy this life, with minimal worry. Reviewing money mistakes or constantly thinking of earning more money or ways to invest better are okay things to think about for brief periods. But then it’s time to take the dog for a walk, visit a state park, or create a fantastic dinner, or even (if you can afford to) plan your next vacation.

You are right that people are what they think about, all day long. People spend so much time thinking and talking about TV shows like Lost or Survivor. Or, they spend all of their time talking about what others are doing and buying or whom they are dating. At least thinking about money has some tangible benefits. People are going to think about something, so it may as well be something useful.

BTW, I love The Strangest Secret. It’s is one of the greatest motivational pieces ever. I had the audio tape back in the ’90s and I wore it out listening to it on my way to work. I was so bummed when it finally died. Thanks for the link to the online version.

I agree… money is a tool, a means and not an end. Ultimately, we put it towards things that are important to us, and our checkbooks illustrate that.

Thinking about growing your money is okay, because money gives you options. But worrying about not having enough doesn’t help you. And thinking money solves all problems won’t help either.
