"I feel much more grounded and balanced in life"
Ali grew up believing money was materialistic and wrong, graduating with no understanding of finances. Through Mindvalley's Money EQ course, they transformed their relationship with money, discovering it as positive energy and embracing their identity as a money-maker.
I am a student for a long time and I wasn't really into "money making". Actually I had no idea about how to earn money. That's because of my family's lifestyle and my culture were effecting me indirectly or directly against money, bad. To earn money is a material wish that we shouldn't have. Even my high school and my university were strongly against materialistic needs and wishes. So, I had no clue about money until I was 23. I graduated last year and I had to realize, that everyone that taught me anything, were living to earn money. They had to, because everyone want to survive and live a good life. But, I learned and experienced money, in the process of the 'real life'. It was mind blowing and I had to do something about it. My relationship with money wasn't bad, but I didn't care about money. So, money didn't care either. When I began to transform with Mindvalley, my perspective of life changed a lot. And now with the Money EQ course, I feel much more grounded and balanced in life. I know that money is an energy that can be very good, if I choose to look that way. We become friends with my pocket and I learned that I am a money-maker. I am very grateful for this beautiful experience and journey and I will continue to be a part of this great community! Arigato!
