Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
0:08I have a brand new book called Make Money Easy. And if you're looking to create more financial freedom in your life, you want abundance in your life, and you want to stop making money hard in your life, but you want to make it easier, you want to make it flow, you want to feel abundant, then make sure to go to makemoneyeasybook.com right now and get yourself a copy. I really think this is going to help you transform your relationship with money this moment moving forward. We have some big guests and content coming up. Make sure you're following and stay tuned to this episode of The Daily Motivation Show.
0:49What happens if we start complaining about money more? Whether it be just kind of frustrated little comments here and there. What happens to money in our life when we complain about it as opposed to appreciate it and thank it? If you start complaining about money, just look at it from a money's perspective. You know, if you've been complaining about it, oh, I don't want to go to him anymore. And then it's like a mutual feeling is mutual. OK, you can complain about it. OK, fine. I'm not going to come to you. And I think subconsciously, if you're complaining about money, you don't want it to be near you.
1:25So my favorite question to people is, if money was a person, who would it be? If money was a person, would it be a fun person? Always joking, always entertaining you. Or is somebody like an assassin, you know, who's going to try to hurt you or scare you? If you're complaining, money may not be such a fun, good person. I think by complaining, you make money a villain. And you don't want that scary person to live in your house. So, for happy, wealthy people, money is their best friend. They're so happy to welcome them at home. You know, when you open the door, I find you, Luis. Luis, thanks. Just come on here.
2:05Just, you know, grab a beer. Just you treat your best friend like that. When I see payments come through in my email or my bank or wherever they come through, I say thank you. I say thank you every time, whether it's a dollar or, you know, a big check. I'm like, thank you. Thank you. I really appreciate it. I don't say thank you when I'm paying something. Why should we also say thank you when we're sending out money to others? If you get a bill, that means somebody did something for you. For example, if it's an electricity bill, you know, because of the electricity company, I can use the internet.
2:39I can use a lighting and microphone and computer. And it's not only one-man job. There's this service person, there's this people who are at the power plants. And also there's somebody who just brought oil to Japan from Middle East. I don't know, thousands of people working for the electricity. and they make sure that it's in my house installed properly. So there are millions of reasons to appreciate the electricity. If it's$300 or$500, wow, you know, if I'm asked to install somebody's house with that electricity, I cannot do that with this money. So thank you for just giving me the electricity.
3:18Thank you for giving me water. Thank you for serving me good meal at the restaurant. Thank you for giving me a ride like Uber. so you can thank the person who gave you the service and product so the reason you have to pay you're getting something in exchange and usually takes more than one or two or could be a hundred people's work and then you ask the money thank them too so that means that the money you give to the electricity company will be paid to all the people it's like a magic wand even if it's a hundred dollars this magic wand will start saying thank you thank you thank you guys so you know it's like a domino effect of thank you so it's not just thanking your money thanking the people who are connected with me so we are all living on this planet together so if we have this feeling everybody's feeling this way we all connected we all connected with our people in the middle east we all connect with the people in russia africa china u.s like it or not we all connected.
4:22So do we hate each other or do we appreciate one another? So if we start doing more, there will be no exploitation of any kind. That's the economy I want to see in the coming years.
