Today, I want you to look around your house for a penny. Or in your car. When you see that penny, ask yourself how do you feel? Do you walk past pennies? Do you scorn them on the floor and not pick them up when you pass one in public?

Do you treat pennies as if they have no value?

Well, pennies do have value. If you have enough pennies, you will have more money than you need. Do you realize that a penny is a factor of a million dollars?

So when you see a penny, celebrate. Love on that penny as if it is what it is: enough pennies will clear up your money issues.

Consider these facts about pennies:

“It takes under a second to snatch a penny off the ground, or search a phone or vending machine’s coin return slot.  But even if you require a whole second to grab that penny, you’re earning money at a rate of 60 cents a minute — $36 dollars an hour!

So really, while collecting your copper cent, you’re actually working at a job that pays an annual salary of $72,000!

And that’s if you limit yourself to a mere 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year.  Industrious penny seekers — ever eyeing the ground and checking coin return slots — even during overtime and vacation time — can expect to push their annual earnings well above $100,000!

Of course, that $100,000 is before tax and SSI withholdings — but when was the last time anyone reported found pennies to the IRS?  So if you’re a single working stiff with no exemptions or business deductions, your annual unreported penny take- home pay of $100,000 is really equivalent to the buying power of a taxpayer who earns $200,000!” ~ www.WeeklyUniverse.com

Of course I do not expect you to keep a full time job collecting pennies. However, does this  not change your perspective of that solitary penny?

Do you realize that financial security can begin with just one penny? So if there is that much potential in a penny, why are you so worried?

Our thoughts are what is in the way of us getting what we want. Change your perspective on a penny and change your perspective on money!

Homework: Write about what you have always thought of pennies. Also, spend the next 24 hours, looking for pennies in every nook and cranny of your car and home. Celebrate every single penny you find.

Affirmation:

I celebrate pennies.

Ponder on this:

“A penny saved is a penny earned.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

In this short video in the Inner Genius Empowerment Zone video series, I discuss the anti-wealth mindset and how to change it.

Do you have an anti wealth mindset? Do you repel money because you think money is dirty or nonspiritual or some how contaminated? Do you think you are above wanting money? Well, if your attitude to money is not loving and expansive then you are repelling money. You repel money by not seeing the opportunities through which money comes to you and not celebrating what you do have.

Money helps you be more of who you are. If who you are is worth celebrating then having a pro-wealth mindset will help you see all the money opportunities as they abound around you and will help you pursue your goals and reach them. A pro-wealth mindset is not just about being wealthy financially. It is about having wealth in every area of your life: health, intellect, love, relationships and most of all having wealth within, as you connect with Source!

In this video, I narrate an personal experience I recently had that helped me understand the influences on my money identity.

Which tool are you going to commit to using every single day?

Love Makes You Grow!

That is a good question, huh?

When you are in a relationship with someone else, how do you show up? So, as a woman, I show up in my primary relationship with my husband this way:

I try to keep it fresh. I take for granted that I do certain things for him. I do most of the cooking. He loves to eat and so I know that one of the ways I show love to him is to cook. He is so easy to cook for because he is so appreciative. So I do it and I love doing it. I check in with him many times a day as to how he is doing and what is going on in his head. I am so finely attuned to him that when he is upset about something, I immediately know. So I call him or get closer to him physically, to make sure that I am reading him right.

It is a big part of our relationship that I am attuned to him. It means a lot to me.

Every morning, when we wake up, we have warm “Good mornings!” for each other and we always share what we dreamed about.

Basically, I try to show up in my relationship as a soft landing place for my sweetie. I try to find ways during the day to say to him that I am on his side and I believe in him. Recently, I also started telling him he is sexy and good looking.

Why is this important?

Well, we have done a lot of taking each other for granted. I know I have taken him for granted. I stopped looking at him as attractive and sexy. I stopped thinking he needed to hear affirmations from me. I never did bother to tell him he was and is my hero.

When I decided what I wanted in a relationship was an enduring intimacy, I decided to give what I wanted in my primary relationship. So I give this freely and he gives it back a hundred times over. He is so responsive to this stuff. It has been an eye opener for me that he can actually be that responsive to me.

So I started to behave the same way towards money. I started to show up fully present for money. I decided that money has a persona and I wanted to show up fully for this wide embracing relationship with money. So I talk to money and I listen to money and money has been responding beautifully.

How do you show up for money? Do you take it for granted?

Gratitude, Love and Miracles!

Enjoy!
