Money is good. Definitely, having enough money affords us a life of convenience and comfort; however I don’t want us to put so much pressure on getting this wealth. To further help us understand what money is, let’s look at what money is not.
- Money is not a measure of success
- Money is not a tool to validate yourself
- Money is not a tool to avenge yourself of the many wants and insufficiency you had while growing up
- Money is not a tool to relay your fear
- Money is not a tool for competition
With the understanding of what money is not in mind, let’s look at what money is
- Money is a tool for creating value
- Money is a means of exchange for goods and services
- Money is the exchange tool for or comfort and convenience
- Money finances our needs and wants
- Money is a tool for enhancing impact
- Money helps create a legacy of recurring income for one’s generation
Activity
- Identify any undue obsession in you;
- Intentionally disassociate yourself from it;
- Identify any low self-esteem, fear, anger or bitterness in you and redress it first because money does not solve those problems. You may have to seek help from a therapist, clergyman or a trusted fellow;
- Clarify our motive for money.
