Most of us can't even figure out how to make ends meet, some have enough but still want more. We all have our own reasons why and that doesn't make us wrong for thinking too much about it since money is part of our daily lives. But, try to ask yourself: Are you ready when the heaven starts showering you an abundance of blessings? Personally, I am quite skeptical about it. I feel like I will more likely end up doing stupid things again, (including of buying a very expensive dog for a lady who just simply grinds her a$$ on me in a club) history will more likely repeat itself on me, I will just lose something I work hard for.
I used that personal stupid experience of mine to emphasize how stupid we can be whenever money is in our possession. In my search for knowledge on how I can mold and fortify a good attitude for it, I found a very significant information that can help us improve our views towards it and I think this is the right way how I should start my quest for more of this $$$.
"Trust when God says NO" a phrase that I got from the book "Simplify and Create Abundance" by a great spiritual leader and a financial adviser here in our country (Philippines) Mr. Bo Sanchez
Here's my take. Have you come across of thinking why the heaven has been ungenerous to you? Well, picture this: let's say a 16-year-old child come up to his/her parents and say, I have good grades and recognition awards, I deserve a car. If you are the parent of that child will you consider that request? Since they are not that responsible yet and for the risk of an accident, most of us will definitely say NO. That analogy is very simple. God will just simply not allow you to have something that you are not ready to possess yet and something that could harm you.
That analogy made me link the recent released of Ethan Couch. To cut the story short, this spoiled brat killed four people and harm nine others while driving recklessly under the influence of alcohol and drugs. His parents used their money and influence. To protect him, they invoked a very intriguing defense called Affluenza, they insist that their child needs psychological treatment instead of being sentenced to a jail. This raised a lot of eyebrows in the past. Do you see how this become relevant to the lesson I just share earlier and do you see how money can twist what's already wrong?
Money is power and power can influence someone's sense of right and wrong. Power can make someone feel superior than others. It can make you less humane, your empathy to others will decrease, it can make you arrogant and it can make you materialistic to the point that you'll consider money as the most valuable than anything or anyone else.
Now, let us ask ourselves, Is my intention good for acquiring wealth? Do I have a pure and honest purpose for obtaining this power? Will I not harm others when I grasp it? This realization makes me so excited to test myself.
"In conclusion"
Everything and every action have a price-tag, it seems like the air we breathe is the only thing that doesn't cost anything today. (yeah I know it's a cliché haha) To ask for more money is just fair since having enough or more of this can make life better but, we have to be conscious of the fact that wanting more of this can make someone's life worst without the right attitude for it. So we can consider this as a warning or a reminder.
Purify your intentions as the universe will always act upon your thoughts. Most of us are all aware now of the "law of attraction" (thanks for the internet) think of something consistently, crystallize it in your mind and it will eventually become a reality. You may obtain wealth but are you ready for the responsibility that comes with it?
