You Are GOLD!
You can thank me for the earworm later.
All your life you chase gold, you search for it, you look outside of yourself but what if you already owned it in abundance?
All your life you strive to own gold,
All your life you try and earn gold,
All your life you search for gold,
All your life you have seen gold as something outside yourself.
What would you do if you owned gold?
How would you treat it?
How would you use it to create change in your life?
…and most importantly… how would you value it?
Now what if I told you,
YOU already are GOLD, YOU already own Gold!
It’s literally the message in the story of The Alchemist.
It’s the things sitting in your very lap and often ignore as not valuable.
It’s your gifts, your wisdom, your knowledge, the intangible things you can’t quite put your finger on but people often thank you for. This is your gold, start treating it as such.
The problem is we often treat our gold as a treasure map, something that we can only earn or use once we’ve worked hard for it, once we’ve strategised it or had it legitimised by things outside us.
