Why would anyone not want to make
more money?
Money is a medium of
exchange that circulate between people.
It is a way to get what you need in order to do what you want. It is a physical representation of the effort
that you exert and offer to others for their use. If you don't do anything, you don't get any
money.
For some people, money is their
ego. They feel powerful if they have a
lot of it. This is because other people
who want more money defer to them in hopes of a chance to gain the opportunity
to get more money.
Some people were
raised without money and the fear of being impoverished causes them to say
“never again”.
Getting money is a
game. When you understand the game of
money, it is not always the money itself, but the thrill of playing and winning
the game of money which is the driving force to keep playing.
Money is meant to be in circulation. This is why money is used as “currency”.
Money is also an idea. It's worth is based on people agreeing that
it is worthy and valuable. When you feel
that you are worthy and what you have is valuable, you are able to get more
money.
Money can only be increased
quickly by including other people.
Besides selling your valued wares, you have to use other people time,
other peoples money, and other people's energy.
J.P. Getty of Getty gasoline stations said, “I would
rather get 1 percent of 100 people's effort, than 100 percent of my own
effort”.
How do feel about money? What were initial experiences and relationship about money? All of this shaped your ability to earn, save, invest and be responsible with money.
Some folks say, "Money is the root of all evil." The verse actually says, "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." I have also heard it said that, "the lack of money is the root of all evil."
Once we decide what we want, and are conscious of why we need and want money, we can move clearly towards our financial goals.
In Part 4 will explore the Desire for Revenge.
