We then fail to apply these truths and learn learn nothing from them.
Perhaps therein lies the problem, we get bored when people talk about money so we clam up and stop listening.
So here are some things about money that we should learn and remember.
Money does not attract money, people do.
There is a story about a 20 dollar bill re-uniting with his long time buddy a one dollar bill.
"I have not seen you in a long time friend.
The twenty dollar replies: Man! I have been having the time of my life, from Las Vegas to the Bahamas, the slopes in Colorado to Paris.
How have you been? ask the now giggling twenty dollar bill.
The obvious one is to stop giving one dollar bills in church! But the other point is that the higher value tender ends up in the fun places where people spend a lot of money.
People who give more money to tends to get more, but we will come back to that.
Bill Gates is worth at least 50 billion dollars.
For a struggling online entrepreneur who is just starting out in business, it may be the cost of a 97 dollar auto responder.
The $130,000 a month affiliate marketer will beg to disagree.
Look for the value in what you are getting for your money.
Don't sweat the "big" stuff.
97 a month auto responder will do the job just as well.
Money is good servant but a lousy boss.
The problem here is that this money-worshiper did not become such a person overnight.
Any deviation from this truth, will place you under the control of money.
People who love money hardly remember that money is just a value placed on a coin or a specially printed paper.
It is inanimate, cold, emotionless, and only derive its value from the people who know it and use it.
On the other hand, money can be a docile and obedient servant.
Plus, if you have enough money you can get most things done.
The lesson to be learned here is this.
This will demean your humanity and make you no better than the drunk who is controlled by alcohol, or a lion driven by it's wild instincts to kill, hunt, or procreate up to 50 times a day!
Let your higher, more noble self control your money so it will be a good servant to you and hopefully do some good in the world.
Money is always looking for a conduit.
Here's what I mean.
They usually give away a lot of their money, but they end up getting back more money to give away again! Money needs a conduit.
It's sowing and reaping at its best.
Most people who are stingy and have a few dollars from their stingiest, will be surprised to know how much more they would have had, had they opened their pocketbooks more.
