Money, whether we admit it or not, is very present in our lives, albeit in positive or negative context. It is not a piece of paper or metal, it is something more-a part of our focus to which we give a lot of importance. It is very important what kind of importance we give to money, because it affects all other areas of our lives.
Love, health, job and everything else. Everything is tightly connected, although we sometimes think that it is not the case. Enjoy occasionally in counting it, let its wonderful colors spill and mix and feel it’s perfect and ideal glow of coins, the sound of paper and rattle of coins. The money is completely neutral by itself, we are those who give it meaning in our mind.
