Can we really play the mental game of money?

There is no doubt that money has powers within it, and it can make one so powerful and influential. In the same vein, it can also make one feel so useless and cause one to fall really hard. Money plays a game of mentality in everyone of us except we refuse to realise it.

We must have heard stories of people who become something else (Not a good difference) after they lay hands on some really good amount of money... The power of money got to them but they fail to play the game well.

Money have a way with our mentality and how we think about what money can do for us. Can we really play the mental game of money? It's not impossible but stories and some experiences has shown how difficult it seem sometimes.

Well, first of all... You've got to respect and value money if you want to play the game.

Money can show up anytime, the way you handle it determines how long it will stay and how well it will grow with you. If money would be respected and valued, it is you appreciating it's possibility of changing your life positively. I'm not sure I've heard anyone say he hates money, that would be an outright disrespect to money.

Money stays with it's earners who respect it's existence and add value to it. Once money starts to lose value, it's a risk to the earner of course. Your mental self should be conscious of respecting and valuing money whenever you get a chance with it.

Secondly... You've got to make money work for you if you want to play the game.

Money doesn't want to stay non - circulated, make it work for you by investing it after making enquiries and researches. No, you shouldn't make money work for you in the wrong places and thank goodness, you have Cryptocurrency to make it better for you.

Invest your money and monitor it's growth, idle money will always be idle till he vanishes and you begin to wonder how you spent it all up. Invested money (working money) keeps growing and you don't notice a dim leaving because more are coming in.

Thirdly... You've got to resist the temptation of wasting money if you want to play the game.

Even I find myself in the situation a lot of times. Once I get some amount of money in my pocket, I start to see things I crave for, clothes I want to add to my wardrobe and even junks I've been trying to keep away starts tempting me.

Money is like that, it wants you to spend it but remember, is it's mental game in your head... Don't fall for it, resist that temptation and make that money work for you instead. Money respects those who resist it's strongest temptation and stays longer.

Fourthly... You've got to know that money can only give you freedom if you want to play the game.

I've heard people say, "Give me money, my problem is solved and I'll be happy" Honestly, money can't give happiness but the freedom from the captivity poverty puts you in. One with debts and too much responsibility with no money, can seem very unhappy but money can take away the debts and reduce the responsibilities weight but happiness rely on the person to decide for himself.

Money provides you freedom, don't let it's mental game make you think you'll be happy once you accumulate so much money. Be happy and free with the money you have and watch it grow.

Realising that there is abundance of money is also a way to play the mental game of money, don't limit yourself, set high expectations and goals to build more money for more freedom even if not for yourself, but for others. This way, you're playing a safe mental game with money and it will stay longer.
