A Control Freak’s guide to stop worrying about Money – As the saying goes, money makes the World go round. So it is only natural for fear to creep in when an individual does not have enough of it.
This fear leads to mood swings, depression, high blood pressure and something even worse.
What could be worse?
The fear of not having money robs its victim of the ability to think clearly and create opportunities to make Money.
This keeps the victim in a loop of falling deeper into depression because of money issues without having the clarity of thought to tackle it.
Unfortunately, people in this position usually fall victim to Ponzi scheme and other form of Get Rich Quick scams.
So what is a fellow supposed to do?
I am glad you asked . . .
Have you heard about the Serenity Prayer?
‘God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference’
