Is more, better?

Maybe we should (🚩) red flag the word “better”, too? 🚩

It's quite a seductive promise, isn't it: ‘more is better’.

But this delicious quote from Lynne Twist (author of The Soul of Money) kind of sticks a pin in it. She says:

“When we buy into the promise that more is better, we can never arrive. Wherever we are, it is not enough...because more is better.”

🤯

I remember the first time I heard this quote and it just stopped me dead in my tracks; something I relate in this little video clip, lifted from my Video Masterclass on the topic of Money.

Just let that sink in, because it's something that I think a lot of us (me included!) just take for granted… and of course it's ‘I'll be happy when…’ in another disguise.

Could seeing the truth in this be the difference between a life of suffering, and a life of ease & grace?

I’ll be happy when…
Four words that ruin lives… and yet we don’t even notice 😩

Spotting yourself doing it is half the battle.
