Mel Abraham argues money isn't a brake holding you back, it's a gas pedal. The real barriers are the stories you tell yourself about it. Each time you frame money as a constraint, reframe it as a tool for acceleration.
Money is the gas pedal, not the brake. You treat it like the thing holding you back. It was actually built to move you forward. Every time you talk about money like it's a barrier, a limit, the reason you can't, you're pressing on the pedal that was built to accelerate you and calling it a wall. See, money doesn't stop your life. The story you tell about your money stops your life. Flip that thought. And hold the relationship in a different way. Money was never supposed to be something you were scared of. It was supposed to be something that gets you where you're looking to go. So this week, notice every time you talk about money like it's a brake, then ask, what would it sound like if you treated it like the gas pedal instead? All right, let's do this.
