Rainy Day Money
Do you have some rainy day money put away?
You know, money that you have set aside in a savings account, or safe deposit box or maybe in an old shoe box, that is there in case things go bad?
I use to do this all the time. I would put some money away “just in case”. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I thought it was smart and prudent, but you know what…..
Every time I sat money aside with the intent of using it if something bad happened guess what happened?
Something bad happened.
So now I put “Sunny Day” money away with the intention that I will go and do something fun with it, like take a vacation. It still feels good to know that you have extra money put aside, but now that the intention has changed, I take more vacations and do more fun things.
Life is all about the power of intention.
I intend to have a great day today and I hope you do too!

Great point John. This is a great example of expectancy. In essence you are “expecting” something bad to happen and that is why you put the money away; that’s what you are telling your subconscious anyway. You are just reinforcing the fact to yourself that something bad will happen. And it does. On the other hand, when you are putting the money away for a “Sunny day” you are utilizing expectancy in a good way; expecting a positive outcome and that is exactly what you will get. Thanks for the great post!
