It's Not About the Money

When someone says, “It’s not about the money,” I think what they often mean is “It’s not just about the money.” One word can change how we communicate and the clarity of our communication. One word can breed authenticity and the lack of a word can breed phoniness.
 
Back to money. It’s ok if our decisions are in-part due to money. We live in a capitalist society and money often helps create freedom for many of us. It’s also ok to like nice things. Really. You aren’t a bad person if you do.
 
Let’s speak our truth. Not worry about shame or judgment. Value what you value. From there, others will judge you regardless, so make your words count.
