Dean Graziosi describes how financial security let him stop running from childhood insecurities. Once money pressure lifted, he could face the wounded kid inside, forgive his father, and do the inner work that made him a better man for his family.
When I got money out of the way, when it wasn't choking me, and I, I had no excuse of what I was running away from anymore. I wasn't worried about money. I wasn't worried about my future. And guess what? I was still that kid with all the crap that I never faced. So when people say, what did money do? It made me stop and look in the mirror and go, hey, that insecure kid with those issues, you got to work on you, bro. But I became a better human being because when money was out of the way and I could breathe, I could focus on the things of Hey, let me forgive my father totally. Let me heal that little boy inside of me. Let me become the man that if I get married again, I'm the man my wife can be proud of, my kids can be proud of. I got to become just a better version.
