So, Money Turns You On?
All money does is to allow you to get the things you
must have and need in your daily life. Money allows you to
house, clothe, feed and provide other life sustaining
functions for yourself and your family. Basically, anything
more than that is ‘window dressing’.
Many folks harbor the belief that if they could just get
their ‘mitts’ on a ‘pile of money’, they would be set for
life. However, people who receive money without working
for it almost always find themselves reverting back to their
original financial level or worse. Their standard of living
does not really increase, and, in many cases decreases,
because of their excessive spending on material related
‘toys’.
If you receive money without earning it, and,
subconsciously, see yourself as having money without earning
it, you can literally spend yourself back into mediocrity
because you did not learn to respect money as an energizer.
You did not earn the money through your own knowledge,
skills, productive actions or talent.
Having a transparent vision of the money you will earn
In the future is a must. Most importantly, the amount of
money you plan on earning must be supportive of, and not
conflict with, your overall definition of success. The
amount you earn and the method by which you earn it, must be
in lock-step with all other aspects of your overall plan for
individual success or money will not be an energizer.
“It’s good to have money and the things that money can
buy, but, it’s good, too, to check once in a while and make
sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.”
George Horace Latimer
Money can only be a positive energizer when the amount
you earn is in direct proportion to the service you render,
personally and professionally. Further, money is good, but
it cannot, itself, make you happy. Money can only allow you
the opportunity to investigate the other things that can
contribute to your already happy and successful life.
I am not implying that you should not want to earn ‘tons’
of money. I hope you do. But, I do hope the amount you earn
will be in direct proportion to the service you give to
others and aligns with your overall definition of success.
If not, you stand the chance of being in constant conflict
with yourself and possibly find yourself bouncing from one
method of making the ‘sure and easy’ buck to another.
Money, the “root of all evil”? NOT! Planned for and
earned through positive effort and service to others, money
CAN be the aphrodisiac that turns you on to a rich, full
living experience.
