A New Relationship to Money in 100 Days

Day 1

Everything begins and ends with a vision, so this is where we will begin as well. Like everything else in this journal, we will focus on one thing at a time. Creating a 5 year vision over the next couple days, today we begin with the person you want to become. What will people say about you in 5 years? Who will you be known as?  Try writing this in the past tense, so from the perspective that this is who you already are, write below who you are in the world 5 years from now. Use the prompts to discover someone new in yourself.

I am . . .

I created . . .

I have achieved . . .

At some point I knew I'd love doing . . .

Day 3

I remember the first time I saw . . .

It sounded like . . .

It smelt like . . .

I felt . . .

Day 5

What are the people in your life doing in their own lives? Are you aware that it’s no coincidence, that you are, where you are in your life, because of the people around you? The same is true for those people. They are, where they are in their life because of who you are to them. Based on what you’re doing for a living 5 years from now, how has that changed the lives of those around you? Maybe you’ve created a company with them and now everyone around you works together. Or maybe your work impacts many different communities, not just your own. Write about what you are doing, what you absolutely enjoy doing and how that has already changed the lives of those around you. Use the prompts to support:

The people around me initially thought . . .

Together we chose to . . .

Together we created . . .

Together we accomplished . . .

Observe the people in your life today. How happy or unhappy are they? Could you make their life a little better today, out of your actions? Small actions can bring happiness for a short time. Larger, long term actions can bring happiness for a lifetime. Reflect on what you will to bring to those people in your life.
