So If Its About Trust...

If overcoming my fear of wealth (different from success) is about trusting myself more... I thought that maybe I should look up the meaning of the word.

I haven't looked up the word "Trust" in the dictionary for a long time.  Sometimes I like to do that with words I use all the time.

 a. Confidence in or reliance on some quality or attribute of a person or thing, or the truth of a statement. Const. in (†of, on, upon, to, unto).

So its about confidence huh... confidence and reliance.  Reliance on an attribute.

I went to e-how to see how one goes about building trust within oneself:

E-how mentions practicing forgiving yourself.  I do get frustrated with myself for designing financial plans that I don't stick to.  I feel like I'm constantly searching for the 'perfect' financial plan that I'll do like a robot everytime I get paid, then I'll magically have numbers in my bank account and feel calm and good all over.

But I always seem to forget what I'm doing.  I'm mad at myself for being so scatterbrained.

Perhaps forgiving myself for being scatterbrained is where I'm at.

In order to trust myself more, to overcome my fear of wealth, I need to forgive myself for being scatterbrained.

Cool.
