Money Is The Root Of All Evil
Money Is The Root Of All Evil! What rubbish! Money is just a means to an end. A common quote is often misquoted. It’s not that “money is the root of all evil”. The quote should be “the LOVE of money is the root of all evil”.
Money is a good thing. It’s far better to have money than not to have money. There’s no nobility in poverty. Every individual on this planet should strive to ensure they have enough money to first survive, then thrive, then give, in that order. If you are poor and have debts, then pay your debts off first before giving to church or charity. YOU are the charity in this case, but just don’t get yourself into debt again. Resolve to turn your life around for the betterment of yourself and everybody around you.
Take this as an opportunity to change your life and then when you’ve changed your life you’ll be able to change the lives of others for the better, and THAT is when you understand the true purpose of money. It is to be put to work, to make more money and in turn used wisely to help others. Once you have an abundance of money in your life, you will naturally gravitate to doing good things with that money.
Finally, remember this. Money doesn’t change you. If you are an a-hole before you became rich, you are an even bigger a-hole when you become rich! If you are a nice, happy type of person while you are poor, then when you are rich you will be just the same (usually), happy and nice but just alot richer!
