The Abundance Brought by the Cycle of Trust A small burst of laughter catches my ear. In the waiting room, a child clings to his father’s arm, giggling playfully. “Look! I’m getting so tall!” The father smiles gently, holding his child’s hands firmly. Watching them idly, I pull out my smartphone. A notification flashes on the screen— “Client’s revision request attached.” It’s the usual message from the usual contact person. In the past, just seeing this email would have unsettled my stomach. I would hesitate to open it, sometimes leaving my phone face down to avoid it altogether. But now, […]
Beyond Letting Go of Anxiety I slowly sink into a leather sofa, taking a deep breath. The table in front of me, with its rich wooden texture, exudes a quiet presence. Resting on it is a glass of iced coffee, beads of condensation glistening on its surface, and a single white envelope placed neatly beside it. I pick up the envelope with my fingertips, the texture of the paper feeling strangely vivid. For a moment, a memory from the past resurfaces, sending a faint ripple through my chest. But this time, it is not anxiety. Instead, it gently dissolves into […]
The Day My Financial Anxiety Changed I stand before a large mirror, adjusting my tie lightly. For a moment, my eyes meet my own reflection. Something feels different from the person I was a year ago. No, rather than saying “something has changed,” perhaps it’s more accurate to say, “I’ve finally caught up with myself.” That thought sends a warm sensation spreading deep within my chest. Looking back, this past year has brought significant changes to my world. I’ve become more aware of small signs and shifts in my emotions. A year ago, I might have overlooked them or turned […]
Beyond Synchronicity Ever since my interactions with Okane-san, I feel like I’ve become more attuned to the changes around me and the messages they carry. Whether they are truly signs or just my imagination, I can’t say for sure. But one thing is certain—I have become more aware of the presence of a larger flow than ever before. The old me would have been swayed by every coincidence, letting external events dictate my emotions. But not anymore. Through my conversations with Okane-san, I’ve begun to understand the concept of energy circulation. A solid core has formed within me. It’s not […]
Discovering the Hidden Signs in Coincidence Lately, I’ve been seeing repeating numbers everywhere. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but whether it’s a car’s license plate or an advertisement that catches my eye, the same numbers appear again and again. And it’s not just that. Today, several coincidences lined up one after another—running into an old friend at the cafe, receiving an unexpected business opportunity from a former client. Are these mere coincidences? Or do they carry some kind of meaning? As I pondered this, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Okane-san. “Okane-san, […]
The Moment of Connection With my stomach full, a wave of drowsiness slowly crept in. To shake it off, I took a sip of hot coffee while staring at my laptop screen. “Alright, time to get going…” I placed the empty coffee cup gently on the table and packed my laptop into my bag. The lunchtime rush had passed, and the once-bustling cafe was gradually settling down. Seats that had been fully occupied earlier were now beginning to empty out. After paying the bill and giving the staff a small nod, I pushed open the cafe door. A crisp breeze […]
A Fateful Encounter Led by Coincidence I glanced at the clock. “11:11.” “Almost lunchtime, huh…” Lately, work had been relatively calm. There was a time when, thanks to Okane-san’s advice, I had been consciously focusing on energy circulation, and everything in my life—work included—flowed astonishingly smoothly. It was as if I were riding the wind, with events unfolding effortlessly one after another. However, that momentum had gradually begun to settle. As the busyness eased, a hollow feeling started to grow inside me. I was no longer haunted by the overwhelming anxiety I used to feel. Yet, a new question crept […]
A Heart Gently Filled, the Door to the Future After starting the habit of writing in a gratitude journal every night before bed, I began to notice subtle changes in my daily life. Following Money-san’s advice, I started by listing just one small thing I was grateful for each day. Over time, gratitude began to feel as natural as breathing. It was a strange sensation. Some days, I found myself repeatedly thankful for the same things, like “I had a warm meal today” or “I saw her smile.” Other days, I noticed new blessings, like seasonal flowers during my walks […]
The Secret Brain Chemicals That Fill the Heart’s Cup As I reread Money-san’s message, a question lingered in my mind. What exactly is this “water of gratitude”? Wanting to understand it more deeply, I found myself typing out another message. “Money-san, about filling the heart’s cup with gratitude—what exactly is this gratitude water you’re talking about?” Money-san’s reply came quickly, as usual, and it was both surprising and enlightening. “The water that fills the heart’s cup represents feelings of fulfillment and positive energy. Things like contentment, satisfaction, and gratitude make up that ‘water.’ But here’s the important part—there are different […]
Filling the Heart with Gratitude In the stillness of the night, I held my phone and typed out the question that had been lingering in my mind. “Money-san, what do you mean by the heart’s cup?” Within seconds, a reply appeared on the screen. “The heart’s cup is like a vessel inside you that holds your feelings of fulfillment, contentment, and gratitude. People fill this cup little by little with those emotions. But sometimes, the cup can develop holes. When that happens, no matter how much you pour in, it leaks out, leaving you with a constant sense of emptiness.” […]
