Once you are happening to money, instead of it happening to you, your options open up. It allows you to poke around a bit, make some decisions, begin to use money as a tool for the life you want - instead of simply limiting the life you're in now.

That forward motion leads me to do the dishes whilst I'm waiting for my kettle to boil and maybe take out the recycling so the kitchen is clear. Then I've got a spot to sit down and think about what I need to work on this week - and it reminds me that I wanted to repot my money plants. I feel brighter and I've got some momentum.
