We all seem to understand what money is and what it can do for us. We appreciate its presence and mourn its absence. But do we know what money really is? The deeper meaning, value and essence of money? For most people I don’t think so. We know money merely for what it does, the superficial purpose of enabling us to buy things and pay for bills and services. Beyond that we don’t want to know or concern ourselves.
Some people may ask what else they need to know about money beyond what it can be used for. And what gain will it be of to understand money beyond what it can be used to do. Well, there is much to learn and understand. As we shall see, money is a completely different force in terms of the role it has to play and its impact on human lives. It ties almost every aspect of activity and existence of human beings. The human evolution would be a complete different story if money were not in existence. But money has existed ages and before in different forms and used for the same purpose of acquiring material things or services.
In today’s world, we could say money runs the show. This is true. If for one time you would pay attention to whatever people are doing in their everyday life, you would not be surprised to see that everybody is trying to reach on money. In one way or the other. The difference comes in the methods and ways of acquiring money but the aim is to have it in the end at whatever amount.
In this way, we can conclude that money is a force that is setting people in motion to acquire it. And if people are in motion, then there must be a source of energy to move them and to inspire them. If we can continue from this, then it means the source of energy is more important than the money itself because the higher the energy, the higher the motion and money is the result proportionately. What is this energy and where does it come from?
A person’s understanding of what money is stems from initial ideas passed through to them by external environment and upbringing. There’s no escape of this for anybody. As part of our modelling to become who we are today, the influences from the environment from which we live has played the major part. Both in viewing our world and also in creating our understanding and relationship with money. And mostly when it comes to money perception, the view is quite icky and unfavorable. Laying the ground work for future financial struggles.
How many times have you heard that money is the root of all evil and hence those who have it are also evil? This is the theme that runs in many societies which make the pursuit for money seem like an inglorious adventure. While it is rightly evident that the lack of money is indeed the steam that turns the wheels and cog of evil ambitions.
Wealth, riches and all finer things in life can only be possibly enjoyed if you have much money. It is a natural-born wish and desire to aim for a lofty lifestyle that is abundant and overflowing with money. But then again, it seems the society and other forms of indoctrination do not approve of such ambitions. It is permissible to appear like a hard working chap who is struggling to the nail to get just a measly amount of money. The society seems to praise and crown a person who does this, and who is supposed to be content with the little that he gets.
It becomes absolutely difficult for a person to aspire to get a lot of money, if what he has been taught throughout his life is to view money as a necessary evil. And likewise, opportunities and chances are difficult to get and limited to a person with that kind of mindset.
It does not serve any benefit to just wish for money without changing your perception. Only by changing your view of money to the positive side, then will the force that is money begin to flow your way. This is not a complicated science that requires a kind of degree or technical training. It is something that you can practice each day and in your dealings with money. And gradually you will begin to understand ways of acquiring money. You will also become more receptive to new ideas which you can translate to a business for passive income. But as long as things remains in status-quo, you can expect no change but the usual mundane routine.
