When Is There Enough? • Money is a tool we can use to get and experience what we want in life. • It is also a source of stress and can hold us back from what we really want. • Our habits and emotions come from a scarcity mindset – what we earn will never be enough for the things and experiences we desire. • Make the move to an abundance mindset – seeing that what you have is more than enough.
