"Now I know that I can have a happy relationship with money "

I was born in a communist country Throughout my childhood, I was taught to school, that rich people are evil, that they steal from poor people I also heard stories, that, when the Communists took control of my country, many rich people were killed or imprisoned 
My mother, who comes from a family that was relatively wealthy before communism, was telling me all the time that '''it better not to have money than, to worry about losing its ''. Another favorite quote from my mom was, "It's better to be poor and sleep on your pillow than to go to jail or worse." So, with your help, I understood that one of my strongest beliefs was that "money is dangerous and that it jeopardizes my freedom and life. So, over time, I started earning more money but at the same time, my debts increased, and the more I tried to break this pattern, it became more and more powerful, and because of this I was feeling fear and despair thinking about my future. I felt trapped in a bottomless trap. So the meditation from module 3, Overcoming Money Shame, Doubt, and Fear, it helps me a lot to overcome my fears around money. I have a lot of fun with that meditation, I use the vacuum cleaner a lot and I feel like a ghostbuster when I send all the ghosts of the past, in their place. Up until now, I never thought that I could call my ancestors and ask them to help me clean my mess, on the contrary, I thought that I must clean up the mess created by them, and I was full of resentment about them. and this is a great release for me because now I have a really great team to work with me and to help me to create the life I want. This course was a unique experience for me, helped me understand my relationship with money and offered me tools to improve my relationship with money. And most importantly, it helps me grow my money container. The results have already started to appear and I have started receiving money from unexpected sources. Despite the fact that I had a lot of problems with money, and I still have, I am an optimistic person so the concept of happy money fits me like a glove. All my close friends are much richer than me, and yet I am the most optimistic of them and they come to me to cheer them when they need encouragement. And as I write this I have realized that so far I have tried to show the world that ''you can be happy without money or material possessions''. I do not know how much I managed to prove this, but now I know that I can have a happy relationship with money and that it is time to prove it to myself first and then to others through my personal example.

“What Ken does is he helps you to get into the state of being wealthy”

Happy Money helps you see money in a different way. We all have this way of looking at money as that we need to accumulate it. We need to get it, we need to have it. We can't be happy without it. It's like the be, do, have paradigm. When you be money with the way that you think, the thoughts, you...
