Let's Make Money, Honey! FB Live #6 -- bonus!

Hello, it is Mary Schiller with the raspiest voice in the history of Facebook Lives, I'm sure. Despite the way I sound, I am actually doing much, much better today. I've had a lot more energy and I've been able to do a lot more things, and so I feel like I'm definitely on the mend. However, my voice hasn't gotten the memo yet. So my voice hasn't caught up to the better health that I'm experiencing today. So please do bear with me as I croak my way through this conversation. Turn up the headphones or turn up the speaker. And I will maybe— I'm wondering if just by using my voice, it'll sort of come back. I have no idea. But this is all I've got right now. So I appreciate your patience as I try to speak as best as I can. And so this is our bonus Facebook Live in this conversation. Hi, Karen, thanks for being here. And the registration for the program, if you're watching this live, will open at the top of the hour following this conversation. So we'll see how long my voice holds out. I'm hoping for at least 30 minutes here. So then it would be, you know, at the top of the hour after that, which would be 6 PM here in Paris for me. So you can look for it then. And don't forget, if you're in the challenge group, I have emailed you your special codes. So you've got those at the ready. And I will have registration open through the end of next week. I will also keep this group open through the end of next week. So you can post questions in here. And I'll be sure and check. Hi Marie-Françoise, thanks for coming. Also, if you go to my website, to any page on my website, hey Joanne, you'll see there's a little icon in the lower right-hand corner that's like a little chat box. And if you have a question and I'm not visible or something, you can type a question in there to me and I get a little notification on my phone that somebody has a question and I can answer it right then and there. I'm trying to make myself as available as possible for any questions you have about Let's Make Money, Honey or anything else that's on your mind. I really have enjoyed the conversations we've been having in the group, not just recently but throughout this whole process. Recently though there were— hey Sarah, thank you for coming. Recently there were a couple of posts that I personally wanted to discuss on this call because I think that they are super relevant to everything we've been talking about. But what's even more important for me is to make time for your questions and my answers. So I'm only going to talk here for a couple of minutes about something that I've noticed, and then I'm going to open the floor to Q&A and, and see what's on your guys's mind. So let me just grab my notes here. So probably one of the posts I saw recently that I really, really connected with personally was a member of the group was— I don't recall if they used the word angry, but it certainly came through in that way— that they were feeling angry about this idea that making money could be easy. Hey Doug, thanks, I'm glad you're here. And The reason I wanted to talk about this is because I think if somebody had tried to kind of convince me that making money was easy— hi, Nikki— that in the old days, the way I saw things before, I would have gotten really upset. I mean, I was upset about money anyway, so it didn't take much. It wouldn't have taken much to kind of set me off, but I really did not see the whole notion of making money as something easy. It looked very difficult. I experienced it as very challenging. I felt like I was doing a lot of things that I didn't really want to be doing just to make money. I felt like I had a lot of other skills and talents that I wasn't capitalizing on literally and figuratively. And just the whole area of my money-making seemed incredibly difficult. Excuse me. So, so when this person wrote this post that was kind of indicating that, I thought, yeah, I can totally relate because that's how it used to look to me too. It did not look easy at all. So just, I want to pause there for a second and just see through some emojis, or if you want to type a comment, does it Does it look to you that making money is easy or difficult or somewhere in between at this point? And wherever you fall on that spectrum is totally okay. There's no judgment about it. It's just an interesting thing to sort of look at and to see if, you know, if your sense of money-making, you know, resonates with this person who made this post. Hi, Kim. Difficult for you still. Okay. Thank you for sharing that. And anybody else in the difficult area or the kind of, well, I'm not so sure, or yeah, it's starting to look easy. Susanna says easy to make a little, hard to make a lot. Oh, interesting. That's interesting, Susanna. Mimi says in between. Joanne, easy if it's not paying the mortgage amount. So that's really fascinating. I'm so glad you guys said that because I never I never thought about it in that way, that making a certain amount is easy and making a larger amount is hard. That's interesting. Getting easier, Doug says. I'll talk about those comments in a second. Sarah, I can see it can be easy, just not seeing it being easy for me as yet. Nikki, easy when I have money, tough when the balance is falling. Ellie says he's all over the place. Well, one thing that I want to say is that, um, and, and see if you can follow this, and this is what became clear to me, okay, uh, is that no matter whether it looks easy or difficult doesn't actually change the fact that it is easy. So, hey, Verena, difficult outside your paycheck. Got it. Hey, Kathy, let's see. Nisa, oh, no matter how much money I earn, have, it all seems to disappear in record time. Can't seem to make enough money. What's up with that? So this really is such an interesting conversation to me because the, I don't know if I can say this very well, especially not with this voice today. Hi, Marie-Françoise. Whether or not we can experience it as easy or we experience it as difficult doesn't actually change the fact that we are designed to do this. So it's like saying, you know, if you're, I've used the example of a car before. You know, a Maserati or a Ferrari or something is made to go fast. It's built for that. And it's actually easy, I'm sure, in some ways for that vehicle to be pushed to go faster. And that's how I see human beings. I see us as these perfectly built machines, if you will. And I've been reading some stuff about robots lately. So pardon for the reference, but we're these perfectly built machines and we are capable of going at— here I go with a Star Trek reference— warp speed and not even, you know, breaking a sweat when it comes to doing things like changing something in our life that we don't like or making more money if that's what we want to do. We are made for this. So it seems to me that the difference here is kind of at some level understanding that you are the Ferrari and not the scooter, you know, that you've got the capacity to go, you know, 200 miles an hour and you're not relegated to pushing on the sidewalk. Okay. And so I'm wondering if if you can think of some area of your life where you feel like the Ferrari, where you feel that effortlessness, where you feel the ability to do something quite easily. So I want everybody to type something in who's watching, if you can, some area of your life where you feel like the Ferrari, where something comes so easily to you that you don't even think about it. It might be even hard for you to come up with an example because it's so natural to you. But I'm going to pause and let you, um, let you type something there, something that comes super easily to you and something maybe that seems hard to somebody else. So I'm going to pause there. Designing sweaters, painting, acting, and creating art. What else? Ideas, writing, Shelley says. Thank you, Shelley. Ideas, Marie-Françoise says. Chatting, Nikki says. I like chatting too, obviously. Oh, Verena, organizing travels. Ellie says harmonizing. Sarah says socializing. Great list. I love this list. Now, as you guys were watching that, listening and connecting, were there things that you saw go by? Oh, that's a nice one, Marie France Foss. Were there things going by on there that you're like, oh, I don't think, I've never been good at that, like that doesn't seem easy to me at all. Did that come up as you were watching that? Laughing, Kim says. Like designing sweaters or painting. Those two things for me, I'm like, I don't know how to do that. So the fact that you have that experience, I'm going to reiterate this, mucking out stables, walking, good, Marie, eating healthy, good, Mimi. Also feels like the things that are easy are also hard. What do you mean by that, Kim? I'm not sure I understand. Organizing travels makes you cringe. Oh, breathing. Yeah, we're all pretty good at that. But here's the point that I'm trying to make, is that the ease with which you do that thing— breathing, you know, organizing travels— painting, designing sweaters, chatting, mucking out stables, acting, whatever it is. That ease is available to you everywhere, including making money, and not with a cap on that either. Kathy says rearranging your living space. Oh, cleaning out the closet. Oh, maybe, maybe some people would want to hire you for that. And so the, the way to understand this is to recognize the fact that that ability, that ease is available to you in areas where maybe you haven't experienced it yet. Maybe you haven't experienced it yet. That doesn't mean it's not there because it is there. Let me go back up here. Just make sure I didn't miss anybody. So Kim, if you wanna elaborate on your comment, please feel free to do that. Thanks, Kathy. So, you know, we, I really like the word yet because, or as of now, you know, I could say, well, as of right now, making money hasn't seemed easy to me, but that's just as of now. You know, as yet, it hasn't seemed that way. But that doesn't mean that that's true. And that doesn't mean that it won't change. You know, I feel like we can start to look at a lot of areas of our life, not just money, of things that have been hard for us, or have seemed really challenging. And when we see this fact, and it is a fact, because if it weren't true, How could we ever do anything new? You know, if we came into this world having a certain skill set and we didn't ever, you know, we couldn't ever go outside that. What was that movie? Divergent or something. It was not a very good movie, but I think that was the idea, right? You're born and you have a certain thing that you're supposed to do and you can't diverge from that. I mean, that's just not how human beings are. People change all the time. That's, we're literally changing 24/7, just by our cell turnover, we're changing, we're transforming. And, you know, every aspect of our life is part of that same system. There's no exception there. So we are designed— the system that we are is designed to change, designed to grow, designed to transform, designed to try new things and achieve new things. I feel like when I label it as easy for you, it comes harder. Oh, that's interesting, Kim. So maybe just don't even bother with the label. You know, just know that you enjoy something and, you know, do more of that. And so let me know if anything else comes to you on that, Kim. That's an interesting point. So I'm sure you can all also think of things that you can do now that you couldn't do before. Things that you've tried that you didn't know you could do. I had never really even heard of coaching. And then I started doing it, had no idea that I could do it. And well, here I am, as they say, you know, the rest is history. You know, just things like that. I mean, there's tons of examples in our lives of things that we have not tried yet. And then we tried them and they actually became easy. And if, if money looks hard to you, I want to just reassure you that it falls under the same rules. That if you simply decide this is something that I want to change in my life, I want this to be different, I want to have a different experience of money, I'd like to make more of it because my finances don't really fit the way that I am seeing myself, and I'd like to have a different you know, financial view of the world, I'd like to be able to do different things, then, then that is available to you. You are the Ferrari. So if you want to step on that gas and go full force towards, you know, a different way of having money in your life, then you can do that. So these are— there are things that are easy for me to want to do. Oh, that's interesting. I think that, I think what you might be getting at, Kim, and this going back to the original post that sparked this for me, was I think that also sometimes we can, and we talked about this I think on yesterday's call about the either/or thing, you know, where we start to see like there's only two ways that this can happen, whatever it is, you know, making money. Or I've tried all the ways that there are that I can think of and it's not happened, so obviously this isn't for me. You know, obviously I'm just bad at making money. It's just hard. And when you start to look at yourself from this other point of view of seeing that you have, you know, endless ability to change, you have endless ability to create something different, because that's just how you're made, then you can start to go, okay, wait a second. Well, as yet, I haven't made the kind of money that I'd like to make, as yet. But that doesn't mean that I don't have that idea in me because I do. I just don't know what it is. And that goes to the second point that I wanted to discuss on this call, which some of you in the Facebook group seemed to really click with, which was this idea that, you know, we may be looking at something right now that could change our financial status. We may be sitting on it and not even realize it. You know, Marie-Françoise, you made a comment, I think, about a screenplay or something. I'm sorry, I'm forgetting exactly, that you remembered. You don't know what that's what the potential of that is until you actually do it, until you actually complete it and put it out there. Let's see. Joanne says, exercise, organizing my living space, money are all areas that feel hard. They could all be as easy as painting. Yeah, absolutely. Did painting ever look hard to you, or was there ever something that looked hard that you just did and then it seemed— it was like, oh, well, that wasn't so hard. You know, that's happened to me way too many times to even count. Way too many times. So, you know, so we are all already— I don't know if I can say this very well, but we're already sitting on the thing that can change our money life because we're sitting within ourselves. Okay, Joanne, so there you go. Painting looked hard in the past. Obviously, I've seen your creations and you, you know, you can do them quite quickly and they're beautiful. So now that doesn't seem hard to you because you just took a step and you're like, oh, well, that's not so hard. Marie-France says, I feel very judgmental and critical about myself regarding money and everything else, really. Well, that's, I think, a human thing. Oh, we all tend to do that. And so I really wouldn't worry about it too much. Who on here has not been judgmental about themselves today? In some way. I mean, I've probably had 100 thoughts like that today already. You know, like, for example, how can I do my makeup so I don't look ill? Because I really don't look very good to be on camera today. Or, oh my gosh, they're gonna think I'm horrible because I'm so raspy sounding, that's really embarrassing. You know, I had literally probably 100 thoughts like that today about all kinds of stuff. And I just don't care that I have those. It doesn't matter. You know, that's a human thing. It's human to feel negative and judgmental. So you can set all of that off to the side and then be like, okay, so what have I got going on? What am I sitting on here within myself or even outside of myself? What's on my computer or what's, you know, around me in my life? That could make a difference in this thing that I want to change. In this case, we're talking about money, but it could be anything. So, excuse me. So again, things like self-doubt and judgment, you know, if there's anybody here who can say that they haven't felt that, I wouldn't really believe you anyway. So the fact that that's simply a human trait seems like we all have some form of that going on. It's safe to ignore it and just go about doing what you want to do. And recognizing that, you know, like I said, you're the, you're the race car. You're, you've got everything you need to cross that finish line, to, you know, enjoy the race while you're going and to enjoy the speed at which you can do things. And just not worry about the rest of that thinking that might come in. All right, so I'm going to pause for a sip of this juice, and I want to make sure and leave time here for questions. So what questions do you have that I can answer? Whether it's about any of the topics we've been discussing in this group or on these Facebook Lives or about the program or anything at all, I'm here to answer. Glad that was helpful, Marie-Françoise. I think that we've been— oh, this could get me on a whole other thing, so I won't go there. But we've been so conditioned by pretty much everything in psychology and pop psychology and self-help to believe that having judgment about ourselves is a horrible thing and we need to fix it. And I'm just saying, forget about it. It's normal. Everybody does it. It's nothing to worry about. So just get over it. It's like not a big deal. You know, like any other feeling we have, it's, it's the same. There is no hierarchy of feelings of which ones are better or worse. They're all the same. And none of them have anything to do with how that Ferrari can go. You know, that would be like saying, well, the Ferrari can only go 200 miles an hour if, you know, it's got a perfectly clean windshield and it's been spit-shined. And, you know, the tires are all perfect, you know, shined up and there's not a speck of dirt on it, then it can go 200 miles an hour. That's baloney. It's just not true. So the same is true with us. We can have all kinds of weird thinking going on. It doesn't have anything to do with what the engine can do. There's no connection between the two things. Hi, Kathy. It's so funny, all the focus on how we look. Honestly, Mary, how you look and sound is so irrelevant to the message you're sharing. I know. I'm sorry. I'm so sick too. Oh, thanks so much. I appreciate that, Kathy. Yeah, it's kind of like, that's pretty much what I was just describing. It's like, you know, I'm here saying something that I feel is helpful. And it seems to be helpful. So how I, like you said, how I look and whatever, it's irrelevant. And certainly, how I think about any of that is like even irrelevant once removed, you know, it's kind of like, why do we spend so much time I'm focusing on all of that stuff. The reason is because most people are very confused about the role of thinking. They have this notion that it is super duper important and that it controls everything, and that it's— unless it's, you know, right and focused and we're motivated and we're confident and all this stuff, that nothing can happen and we can't do good work and we can't And it's just not true. It's what I believed for my whole adult life until about 3 and a half years ago when somebody set me straight. And I've never been the same since. So, hi, Shelley. Yes, just because we think something doesn't make it true. In fact, it's usually the opposite. Marie-France, do you think, feel that we have to accept and not resist what is to have money or success? What you resist persists. I have a hard time not resisting something I don't like. That makes any sense. So does having resistance prevent you from having what you want? Let me think about that for a second. I think that's a whole lot of thinking, basically, that doesn't really have any connection to what's real. I don't, I don't place any importance on any feeling. Like, if I feel resistance, it's like, okay, so what? I don't, I don't look at any feeling as something I have to do anything about. It's not causing me a problem. So I just, I just don't worry about any of that. You know, I know that there's some pretty popular books out there about certain feelings and, you know, their importance and we have to face them down and all of that. And to me, that just looks like a big waste of time. It's like, just, you know, accept the fact that we all have certain feelings from time to time, because we're human. That's what we do. We have thought, it creates a sensation. And sometimes we like that sensation. And sometimes we don't. And that's kind of the end of it. And allow all of those feelings to just be there and experience them. If anything, since I've kind of started to understand more, I feel like I have more feelings than I used to. I think I used to somehow try to resist them or hold them back. I don't know what I was trying to do. But now they're, they're simply there. And I love all of them. They're part of what it means to be human. So why would I want to try to fix something that isn't even broken to begin with? So that, I don't know if that was helpful, Marie-Françoise, but Sarah says, when I stopped taking myself seriously, I started living a whole lot more. I think that's kind of what happened. If I were to sum things up for me, I stopped taking my thoughts slash feelings seriously. They no longer seemed like any sort of threat to me or any sort of indicator as to the quality of myself or my life or anything. I just lost all of that pretty fast. It was like, okay, I get it. You know, they're there and they help me be human and that's what they do. And then in certain areas of my life, like money, I really stopped taking my money thinking seriously. You know, as I said earlier on one of the first broadcasts here, you know, that was something that consumed my life in my head. And when I saw that, I was like, wow, that is really fascinating how much space that's taking up. I guess I don't need to be doing quite so much. And I do often laugh at myself for the scenarios my thoughts paint for me. And, you know, how they try to make it look— seems like make it look like I'm limited in some way or that, you know, that something is impossible. And I've started to realize that really nothing is impossible. And then I'm often reminded of that quote from Michael J. Fox, the actor, where he just says, "Impossible just takes more phone calls." So I like that quote. I'm glad you like that way of looking at feelings, Kim, because it's, as far as I can tell, it's the truth with a capital T, that we're allowed to feel anything. A feeling isn't a problem. And we've been— it's been drummed into us that a feeling is a problem. So if we look at the way that most people talk about money and the things that we're supposed to work on in regards to money, you'll notice that most of it is trying to make some sort of connection between how we feel about money and things that happened in the past and what our thoughts are, and, but it's all a big story. So it's like taking a story and then trying to write a new story. And my point is, why do I even want to engage with the stories at all? That just seems ridiculous. I'd rather just step on the accelerator, thanks, rather than being stuck in neutral in this beautiful car and going, oh gee, I wonder if I have to, I guess I have to clean that speck off the windshield before I can hit the accelerator and you can go a little bit. Wow, that's gonna take a lot of effort and elbow grease to get that last speck of grease off of there. And I get out of the car and I clean it off. And then I sit down and I notice a little dust bunny in the corner. I think, ah, damn, I missed that dust bunny. I can't hit the accelerator until I get rid of that dust bunny. I mean, I feel like that's what most of us have done. In our lives, not just with money, but a lot of other things. We think we have to keep cleaning up what looks like a mess in our heads, but what's, what's actually simply what it means to be a person. That's just what it means to be a person. And so if we can simply know that that's what it means to be a person is we have all kinds of thoughts that go through our heads. But we're still this amazing, perfectly designed machine. That makes all the difference. So is that making sense to you guys, what I'm saying? Emojis, thumbs up, or, you know, angry face if not. What other questions can I answer? And Marie-Françoise, let me know if that was helpful or not. Oh good, I see some thumbs up and nice faces. Oh, there's an angry face. And really, you know, for me, what I'm talking about, you know, is obviously applicable to money or I wouldn't be talking about it. But the fact of the matter is, which you've probably seen, is that everything we've been talking about— oh, thanks, you guys. Really applies across the board to any area of life. I just find it fun to look at it in the context of money, because money is such a charged and exciting topic. And it's also an area where we can see things sort of transform materially a lot of the time. And so that's why I find it an exciting topic to discuss. Alright, I'm going to take another juice break here. This is from Marks Spencer. They have Marks Spencer here in Paris. Any of you from the UK will recognize that. This is pineapple, goldenberry, and ginger. I think the ginger is what's healthy. Alright, what other questions can I answer before I Give my voice a rest here. Anything else on your mind? All right, well, maybe we're good to go. Let me just check my notes again and make sure. Um, the only other thing that I kind of wanted to spend a couple of minutes on, if you're interested, is another thing that often comes up in conversations about money is this focus on time. Like, I don't have enough time to do the things I want to do. And I don't have time to maybe start something up on the side if I want to go work for myself. And I'd really like for you to, if you have a moment, to look for that post and see if you can see my response there because You know, all of the things you guys talked about earlier, all the things that came easily to you, you know, when you're doing those things, a lot of times, doesn't it seem like time is just irrelevant? Because you're doing something you enjoy. And so you're not even concerned with how much time it's taking or, you know, or anything like that. It just— time just sort of changes and sort of fades into the background. And my question when somebody brings that up is usually, you know, are you really doing something that you really want to be doing, first of all? And second of all, it comes back to this ease versus difficulty thing. You know, we can have a lot of old thoughts that sort of make up this picture of something looking really hard. And so then it seems like it's taking a lot of time. And all of that is a thought-created barrage. You know, Again, we're in this, this Ferrari. So, you know, the Ferrari can go really fast, a lot faster than you think. And those areas of ease, you have that experience. So again, that can apply to anything that you want to do. And, and it doesn't have to be, you know, so full of angst, it can be filled with light and lightness, and not heaviness. So, all right, well, any other questions? Let me just make sure I'm not missing something here. Okay. Oh, hi, Mimi. Oh yeah, I think a lot of things help prepare me for this work. I could write a book about that. Marie-Françoise, yes, if my feelings have no bearing on reality, then why worry about them? Exactly. They can't cause anything out there, why try to fix them? No, your feelings and thoughts, Marie-Françoise, are a reflection of whatever's going on in your head. So they look real. They sort of make us have this human experience. But there's another reality. It's kind of like the analogy I used before about the Earth's crust and the core. You know, the crust is like our thoughts slash feelings. That's like the sliver. But there's this whole other thing under there that is just waiting for us to access more of the time. So, you know, turn your focus over there instead of into the, into the cloud of thoughts slash feelings. Let's see. Kathy, I'm like a baby deer with not taking my thoughts seriously. I'm new to it. It's already changed your entire experience of life. Well, that's really exciting. Wow, Kathy. Cool. Hi, Dale. Let's see. I'm clear. I just want to earn money. You're just cheering me up. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, you know, laughing about dust bunnies. Speaking of dust bunnies, I have plenty I need to clear out of this apartment. With both my husband and I being under the weather, you know, they're piling up around here. Verena, I realize I think I should make money in a certain timeframe. If I don't make it, big failure. That's another thing that people have. Like, we have this notion that we really know how something is going to happen and when it's going to happen. And that's something that I talked about in the program is about expectations and how that's a thought we can just as well avoid. Let's see. I'm looking— I missed a bunch of comments because Facebook got stalled here. Kathy said building your website was a big project. It's one of the things you're most proud of that you did. That's awesome. Kim, sometimes I'm afraid to start those things because I have so many other obligations. I'm hesitant to get lost in something. Well, but the thing is, is that when we allow ourselves to get lost in something, you'd be surprised at what takes care of itself, what stops being such a high priority. That's happened to me many, many times where I've turned my focus towards the things that really matter to me, and either the other responsibilities take care of themselves, or more often, I figure out a way to deal with them a lot faster. So, you know, that shouldn't stop you from trying. Let's see. So, Ellie says, something amazing happened yesterday. Somebody asked me what my fee was. She's an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner. And I said $350 an hour. She asked how I could justify my fee. And I had this clarity that I don't have to justify it. Nobody must come. It's all choice. Exactly. I ran across a coach recently who was charging $3,000 for a 90-minute session. And my initial thought was, wow, that's a lot of money. And then my second thought was, well, good for her. Clearly, the people who are using her service see a tremendous amount of value in what she's providing to them. I probably will never find that out because You know, she isn't somebody that I connect with, but clearly she connects with a lot of people who see her as incredibly valuable. And I was like, gee, you know, it'd be really cool to be able to charge $3,000 for a 90-minute session. That would mean that I was really putting something out there that the world found valuable. And so I, you know, I can understand why we don't want to equate ourselves with a number, But sometimes it's interesting to look at it not in terms of ourselves, but in the value that other people see in us, if that makes sense. So you can kind of see it that way. And to me, it takes on a whole different perspective. So let me go back up. I think I missed one comment that I wanted to look at. Sorry, my phone's ringing here. Oh, Marie-Françoise, you're having a hard time seeing that my feeling and thoughts have no bearing on my experience and ability to make money. It's the exact opposite of what I've been told for so long. It sounds great, but I have no idea how to do it or not do what you're pointing out. I feel I need an insight. So I think the best comment I have for you, Marie-Françoise, is that it really doesn't matter if you have an insight or not. It doesn't matter. And this is what I was trying to say before. You're the vehicle, you're the engine, you're the thing. So what difference does it make whether you see that there's a speck on the windshield or not? Just go, go do what you want to be doing. And all of the discussion around mindset and all of this stuff, to me is very, very distracting and has probably held a lot more people back other than me. Because it's keeping people looking at something that's not real. The, the system that you are, the creative being that you are, that's real, real. You know, thoughts may make a realistic movie, but it's still a movie. And trying to change the movie You know, would be like, like me, you know, going to see a movie in the theater and expecting that I could make them say something different. It's never going to happen because it's already out there. It's a movie that I'm watching. It's already made. By the time I see it, it's already made. So I want to go outside the theater and see what else there is to life and realize that, you know, yeah, I'm having this really realistic-looking experience, but there's another world that I am in and that I am that has the ability to change anything that I want to change in my life. I may not understand the timetable. I can't sit down and say, okay, by next year, you know, I'll have X amount of money to make. I can't do that. But I can say, wow, it'd be really cool if I could do that. I wonder how I could. Wonder if I could. What could I try? You know, what's available to me that I could, you know, and I could use to try to do that. And that's all we ever have. And that's a lot. I think we don't really stop to appreciate what is on offer to us simply by being here and being human. And it'd be wonderful if we could spend a little time just appreciating what's actually on offer to us instead of paying attention to thoughts and feelings that have nothing to do with who we actually are and what's available to us and what our capabilities are. So let me see here. Oh, thanks, Ellie. Yeah, amazing to be able to shift from judgment or comparison and like, and shift to, yeah, good for them. You know, probably the biggest example I had of that recently, and I wrote about this a little bit in an email to my list. Was when I went to Monaco and I saw all the wealth on display there. And I think I mentioned that here too. It was like, in the past, I would have been very jealous and like, oh man, wish I could afford a yacht like that. You know, my daughter had no idea how much yachts cost. So we went by a yacht store where they were advertising them with these photographs and she just almost fell on the pavement when she saw how much they cost. I was like, hey, good for them, you know, that they can spend $15 million on a boat, you know. Let's see. Oh, I'm glad, Mimi. That's really great to hear. Marie-Françoise, do you think this translates also to personal relationships? It translates to everything. It's everything. It's not just money we're talking about. It's everything. It's realizing that everything we experience, including other people, comes from in here. And there is nothing really out there that has any power to create any experience that we have. It's all coming from in here. Which means that we have the ability to change that experience anytime we want by recognizing the fact that that's true. That's all we have to do to really change anything. And also knowing, you know, what's really within us, which is everything we could ever need and more. So, all right, well, I think I'm going to stop there. I actually have another Facebook Live in about an hour and 15 minutes in the Let's Make Money Honey program. So I'm going to try to rejuvenate my vocal cords in between. I want to let you know again that at the top of this hour, if you go to maryschiller.com/money, you'll see that the program will be available for you to register. Excuse me. And like I said, I will be in here facilitating the conversation through the registration period, which goes through next week. So Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have questions. If you don't want to post something in the group, you can contact me via the website through that little chat thing, or you can email me anytime at mary@maryschiller.com. So I want to thank you all for being here. It was lovely talking with you again. And who knows, maybe I'll have one more of these before the end of next week. We'll see if my voice returns. And if it does, maybe I'll have a celebratory Facebook Live with everybody and you can hear once again how I actually All right, thanks, you guys.
