Just Say "No" To Money.

SO one of the Buddhist beliefs is that material possessions won't make you happy, and neither will money or riches. I am realizing that taking this laid back attitude is harder than it sounds. As I was thinking "yeah I can stop fretting about money for two days." By the time evening came I realize just how MUCH I was thinking about money, making ends meet, and all my other problems. Maybe I am more aware at just how many times the thoughts of lack of money and how to make money are constantly running through my head now. It is INSANE. I am doing a terrible job of just letting go of my panic motivators, but now I am noticing just how consuming these thoughts actually are. It is making more sense how people who aren't worried about money- not the rich I mean those who have no need for money or care for it- can be happier. This of course doesn't mean after this challenge I am going to give it up- I would never make it in today's society. I guess I am just realizing the extent and control that money holds over our lives, especially those with lack of it.
