In the western world for better or worse, we are obsessed with money.  Having it, not having it, who has more, when I am going to get my own, and so on. When we think of money in terms of it being an allowance it takes a different tone.  I do not mean the allowance one may have earned as a child but the act of allowing.  How much allowance to we give money?  How much allowance to make for our relationships?  What kind of allowance to give to ideas in our head that we have not vetted?  How much more do we make allowance for our thinking than our feeling?  Does it depend on the situation or do we generally value our thinking over our feelings?  When we look at how we allot our time we have some indication of what we make allowances for more than others.  None of this is a judgment, but it is powerful to take a look.  So often we go through life doing what we think we are supposed to be doing instead of stopping to notice if what we are doing or making allowances for in our lives resonates with the truth of who we are.  Allowance is much more than money.  It is how we choose to allocate our energy and our attention throughout the course of our lives.  The beauty is we can change our allowances as we move through life.  We can make adjustments as necessary.
