“If you think life is all about making money then you are wrong”
There is more to life than just making money. First off is who you are and what you stand for, after comes good health, family, friends, and your contribution to the world.
Money you can see comes miles behind because it is nothing but a tool, used in exchange for what you want. Making money matters as long as you understand its place and this is where most get it wrong.
Money for many people becomes troublesome because it is used as a commodity. They regard money as having a value of its own unrelated to its use as a means of exchange. Although money is the obvious desire, it is usually not the final goal.
In short, money is a catalyst. It is important because it serves to bring equilibrium into your live. Through the tools it buys and the freedoms that it offers, money offers you the profound opportunity to discover your hidden talents, to realise your inner potentials, and to achieve your personal goals.
Making money however, is not a matter of survival or life and death rather it is about increasing the quality of your live, relationships - the true purpose of money. It is your duty to understand money - how to ethically make it, keep it and share it. But what matters first off is how you feel about yourself, what you are doing, and your relationships with family, friends and community.
Consider for a minute that it will all end at some point. The money, car, house and fancy gadgets you have would be gone forever. What will matter when you depart this world will not be what you had, but what you were. You will be remembered for what you gave - your time, love; what values you taught those who were around you; who you encouraged; what you did for others with your money.
Understand that making money, on its own is nothing. Yes, money will buy you many things. But will it make your life meaningful? Being successful is not just about having money, but also about having a loving family, spending time with loved ones, helping others and getting more out of life.
