WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Ken Honda on Healing Money Beliefs, Invisible Assets and Happy Money
- Honda argues that most money stress comes from negative messages absorbed in childhood and from tying self-worth to net worth, and that affirmations such as "money is love" and "money is my friend" can ease it.
- He says lasting security comes from invisible assets such as friendship, trust, reputation and generosity, rather than from any single investment, and he predicts economic turmoil ahead while urging people to help one another.
- Honda describes money as energy that must flow, saying hoarding and attachment block opportunity and receiving, while giving freely, thanking money and asking where it wants to go brings more back.
- His three steps are to find peace of mind through gratitude, take inventory of your gifts and combine them, and build a base of supporters, and he recommends aiming for happiness first with wealth following as a reward for what you give.
- He covers money types and personalities, teaching kids that money is fun, that emotions around money are natural and that giving brings receiving, and he admits he still feels guilt and shame around money.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasMoney stress often begins in early childhood messaging.
Honda says we wake up to the reality of money around ages five to seven and absorb sayings like "money doesn't grow on trees"; recalling happy money memories can counterbalance them.
Invisible assets matter more than visible ones.
Friendship, trust, honesty, kindness and reputation can carry you through a crisis, and Honda says he isn't afraid of bankruptcy because of the trust he has built by giving freely for 20 years.
Money must flow, not be hoarded.
Honda compares money to a pond or to digestion, saying attachment stops the flow of energy and lets opportunities pass, while letting go with trust brings it back.
Thank money both when it comes in and when it goes out.
Honda says every bill represents the work of many people, so thanking the money as you pay creates a domino effect of appreciation, and complaining about money makes it a villain you don't want near you.
Know your money container size and when enough is enough.
Honda says people are born with different money container sizes and that Eastern audiences ask how to be satisfied while Western ones ask how to grow; he advises finding full fulfillment where you are, and growth follows if it's your path.
