Introvert Q&A: in the money?

September 1st, 2009 · No Comments · 100 days, Introvert Q&A

Sarah: Wow, I’m secretly jealous that you are so good at making money!  So far I have not been!  I have finally begun to accept this. I just always thought there was something really wrong (i.e. pathological) with me not putting money first and foremost.

I suppose I have been good at working on my healing and self-awareness. Not bad things at all. Though there are still crevices of my self that, it seems, I have not faced. I think I’ll identify those things that still seem to dog me. I don’t want no more monkeys on my back!

And maybe I can be grateful for my still-there desire to push out, to express, to face my fears, to help others do the same. Gratitude that it’s still there. That I have not given up. Laurie, it does help me to realize all of this as I respond to you.

Laurie: Oh Sarah — don’t get me wrong, I’m just learning to be good about making money. Like you and many artists, I’m good at looking above and beyond (which is a real asset, by the way), but I’m not always so good about keeping the ground beneath my feet. Life has taught me some tough lessons, and my story is not over. So don’t feel alone – this putting money first still feels a bit foreign to me. After kicking and screaming and panicking, I finally accepted what I needed to do, I felt strong in a new way. I don’t have it mastered AT ALL, but I’m in it. And so are you.

Blessings, Laurie
