While conversing with an acquaintance I took a stroll through his mind to get his thought about the concept of money, and I got a big shocker. It is a falacy to think money will make you rich.
Money can't make you rich. It has never and still won't.
Let me take you back to the table please, what does it mean to be rich?
·Rich: Having a fatty, intense flavour.
Plentiful, abounding, abundant, fulfilling.
Having a fatty, intense flavour of what? Money? Possession? No! An intense flavor of YOU.
Moral wealth is the real riches here, the good heart, charming smile, thinking mind, skillful hands etc.
If only people could see how rich they are, 70-80% of world crime will be eliminated.
Money is a legally or socially binding conceptual contract of entitlement to wealth, void of intrinsic value, payable for all debts and taxes, and regulated in supply.
A generally accepted means of exchange and measure of value.
Money is what we use to measure wealth, but it is not necessarily wealth . So the main thing here is wealth, Wealth is on the inside (YOU)
·Money won't make any rich:
Ecclesiastes:10.15
A fool's work wearies him; he does not 'know' the way to town.
Ignorance has been the greatest challenge of human race, ignorance in this context is not the absence of knowledge but the absence of understanding. Understanding this truth (Money won't make you rich) will so help in creating a better atmosphere for us free from greed.
I had a whole lot of struggle with this concept 'Money won't make me rich', until I found out the truth that indeed money won't , it is just a means of exchange.
·Money is only worth making if it is going to be used as an instrument to set others free:
The reason for greed in the human race, is drawn to the sole reason of wanting more because it is believed that the more you have, the more you control. This is deception! You can't always have everything in control no matter how much you possess.
E.g you can't control the amount of air you take in, the rate of sun light you receive or the death of a loved one.
So why not look outside the cocoon of oneself and reach out.
I really love what some steemians are doing @surpassinggoogle,
@stach ,
@samiwhyte
@anomadsoul, basically they give out as much as they have received.
Big up guys!!!
·True riches is from within.
For me, what qualifies a man to be called wealthy is not in how much he receives, but how much he is willing to give. This is possible due to
·Love and Compassion
·Contentment
·Peace from within.
Real wealth is not far fetched, it is within.
Like I said earlier that charming smile could be the heartcry of someone out there. Happiness is found in the little pieces of life.
As the man in the mirror I look at myself , I learn, make adjustments, I grow.
Let's not love money! Instead love God, family, friends, neighbors, basically love people.
