How to Shift Your Money Desire Consciously
“The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Allow me to clarify on a point where much confusion arise with many people: the desire for money.
The desire to have money is nothing wrong. Many make the idea of desiring money as being sinful. This is not wise thinking. After all, we need money to pay for our living expenses. And if we have hopes and dreams to change the world to a better place, we need the necessary capital to fund these.
Desires are borne out of contrast. It is our wish for a more expanded experience that fuels us to being and doing more. It is our wish to improve the quality of our lives that prompt us to pursue our money-making ideas.

Money Is Not a Dirty Word
Money is not a dirty word.
Yet, many people make it out to be.
They avoid talking about it at all cost. They squirm whenever they have to ask for money in exchange for their service or product. They conclude that the desire for money is a sin, partly from watching way too many Hollywood movies about how the pursuit for money corrupts the mind. Then, there are the religious ones take comfort in being spiritual and poor.
“Not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Well, let’s put things in perspective.
Money is in the form of cash and coins. It is a convenient form of exchange. It helps to make trade efficient.

7 Tips to End Money Worries and Stop Struggling Instantly
Money worries is like a crippling disease. You are in a perpetual state of anxiety. From the moment you wake up, your mind goes into an inner chatter about finances. You may not even be able to fall asleep easily at night due to the non-stop chatter and your ensuing roller coaster emotions. You worry over paying your bills, whether you can afford to send your children to university or whether you can afford to move to a bigger house.
“Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.” Glenn Turner
Worry is a state of emotional and mental struggle that affect you physically. You can end up feeling so miserable that you are not unable to function well at all. Even as you go about pursuing your entrepreneurial dreams or work in the office, stress is the extra burden that you carry. Obviously, worrying is not going to help you reach towards your goals. It is clearly unnecessary.

Gallop Faster in the Year of the Horse
“I discovered that the horse is life itself, a metaphor but also an example of life’s mystery and unpredictability, of life’s generosity and beauty, a worthy object of repeated and ever changing contemplation.” Jane Smiley
(Photo taken of Min, my daughter, posing in Trick Eye Museum, Seoul).
According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, the Year of the Horse starts from January 31, 2014. With the end of the year of the Snake in 2013, things are expected to gallop a lot faster. I thought it will be nice to share with you about what soothsayers are predicting for 2014 in my post today.

While the dragon rules the sky, the horse – a creature that can be tamed and trained unlike the tiger – is considered to be the best runner on Earth. The dragon is mythical but the horse is a physical creature of beauty. According to Chinese myths, the horse has 30 percent of the dragon’s personality.

Hence, in order to redirect your intention appropriately, ask yourself if your focus is centred on: “what can I get out of this transaction or process” or on “how can I best serve others that enhances life itself?”
“What can I get out of this?”
With a thought like this, the focus is the end result. You are being goal-oriented.
