We often see headlines about the rich and famous and their money problems. They have other problems, too. We see headlines about drug issues and other addictions. We see headlines about abuse of power or a serious mistake in the quest for power. Why do these people who seem to have it all, struggle so much when the world should be their oyster? The answers lie in how they see themselves and if they see themselves at all.
Money problems and most other problems aren’t about money, they are about core values, or a lacking understanding of core values. If you get this, understand this information, then you should be able to live a pretty trouble-free life. Problems stem from not knowing yourself and the best way to get to know yourself is to discover your core values. Those who know their core values have the confidence to make buying decisions and other decisions based on what will serve their needs and wants, rather than buying to impress others, feel cool, or have the latest designer item to compete with someone else. There is nothing wrong with having nice things, especially if they are of high quality or you really love the style, but those who buy, buy, buy are in trouble, especially if they are seeking some type of emotional satisfaction.
Core values describe who you are. They are who you are despite of and regardless of any outside influence. No commercial, friend, trend, or media can influence who you are if you are living in alignment with your core values. It takes a little time and some mindfulness to align your life with your core values, but the satisfaction, level of happiness and confidence in your self it brings will reward you for a lifetime. Nothing else can improve your life more than aligning your life with your core values.
If you desire to align your life with your core values, here is a checklist type program to help you discover your four core values and begin to align your life with them. It’s actually pretty easy. The program is called the Tru Values Program. Click this link directly below to download your complimentary copy now.

You can’t buy happiness, friends or emotional wellbeing, but most people seem to think that money will solve all their problems. Understanding that having enough money to provide for yourself well makes life less stressful, having too much and not understanding who you are and how you can make a difference, can make life very unhappy and stressful. If you are living for the next party all the time, or something else that will give you an emotional high, you will burn yourself out. You can’t take your emotional level higher and higher (or your body by using drugs, for that matter) and never expect to come down without burning out. Everything that rises up will fall without a strong foundation. Your core values provide you a strong foundation to build a life of satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness.
There are times when you will feel stress, anxiety or not be able to sleep because life does have it’s challenges. One way I have noticed that my clients have had challenges, or even I, myself have had challenges, is when I am trying to make improvements in my life. I consider this the universe testing my commitment to myself. Once my clients understand this concept they can move past the challenge which almost always turns out to be much smaller than originally anticipated.
There are times when life is, well life. Some things we cannot deny regardless of how well we plan or how solid our life foundation is. Sometimes we experience the loss of a loved one, the end of a job, or a sudden change in situation that was out of our control. What I have learned over the years is in life somethings are inevitable, and some things are opportunities in disguise.
The loss of a loved one is inevitable, because every life comes to an end. It is painful, and we must give ourselves time to grieve, time to miss that person and time to heal. We cannot discount the pain, the adjustment, the hole in our hearts. We must allow room, time and space for healing. Do not deny that for yourself.
For the opportunities in disguise you may have a time gap or have a space where things need to come together before the new door of opportunity opens. It is during these times that you may feel stress, overwhelm and have some difficulty managing your world. You may have self-doubt while you go through this process. Just understand that it is a process, a journey, and if you navigate it well, you will be better off on the other side.

In answering the question of why the rich and famous have money problems, the answer is because they lost themselves. They either no longer or never did understand who they are at their core, they don’t know their soul. They also are living without purpose or meaning beyond the adoring crowd. They are seeking happiness through things and emotional highs (or other methods) and have not aligned themselves with their core values. They might not have even heard of core values. But now you have. Take the opportunity of a lifetime and give yourself the gift of satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness. Align your life with your core values.
