Reconcile

“Quick Books” is a financial computer system used to set up expense and income accounts and to balance checkbooks. This program was purchased with three goals in mind: to know where the money is spent, to know what the regular monthly expenses are and to have a readily available view of my fiscal fitness. Focusing on implementing this program, I worked long and hard to understand the details that promised to make life more efficient. Taking it a step at a time and with continued support and accountability from my Coach and CPA, I now click on “reconcile” and within minutes my bank account is balanced to the bank statement.

Reconcile also refers to personal situations that are not clear or settled: with family or friends, in business or school. An aching heart or guilty feeling can be consuming. If the goal is to reconcile or as Webster says, “to cause to be friendly or harmonious again; adjust; settle,” then focus on the intention and take the steps necessary to get there. Create a circle of support. When reconciliation occurs, energy and joy are returned and life is balanced once again.

Bank statements and unsettled situations both need to be reconciled.

Notice how you spend your life energy?

Reconciling takes action and conversation.

If your treasure is in the bank, where is your heart?

With warm regards,
