Money is Neutral

The Bible says, "The love of money is the root of all evil."
It doesn't say, "money is the root of all evil."
It says, "the love of money is the root of all evil."

It is the preoccupation with money, to the exclusion of
the really important things in life that is the problem,
not the money itself. Money is essential to our lives in
society. It is also neutral. It is neither good nor bad.
It is only the way that it is acquired and the uses to
which it is put that determines whether it is helpful or
hurtful.

Money is good. Money gives you choices and enables
you to live your life the way you want to live it.

Money opens doors for you that would have been closed in
its absence.But just like anything, an obsession can be
hurtful. If a person becomes so pre occupied with money
that he loses sight of the fact that money is merely a
tool that is to be used to acquire happiness,
then money becomes a harmful thing.

So,recognize and accept that virtually everyone who has
money today at one time was broke and probably broke for
a long time. Then they learned the skills of accumulating
money and they are now financially independent. Whatever
they have done, you can probably do as well.

Second, become a student of money from this day forward.
Study it, learn about it and apply the lessons you discover
toward your own financial life until you begin to attract
more and more money in your direction.

Change your attitude toward money.

Don't Change the World

by: Author Unknown

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous
country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas
of his country. When he came back to his palace, he
complained that his feet were very painful, because it was
the first time that he had gone on such a long trip, and the
road that he went on was very rough and stony. He then
ordered his people to cover every road in the entire country
with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows
skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the
king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of
money? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to
cover your feet ?"

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his
suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.

There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story:
To make this world a happy place to live, you better change
yourself - your heart; and not the world.


Selfchanged,
