The Infinite Nature of Money…
In the last post, we discussed the issues of who gets to decide what is moral and isn’t, and who decides where the money goes. While the intent may be noble (and usually begins that way), the end result is always evil. I also said there was another negative element. Here’s what that is…
Taking Money from Bad Rich People
Last post I said that I understood and emphasized with those who genuinely have a desire to help others and see the world become a more enlightened place, where we all took pride and actions to serve others. I just feel that individuals (or governments) arbitrarily telling people how they should spend their money and help others is not the answer.
Never Count Other People’s Money
Not surprisingly, the last post created some strong reactions, both positive and vitriolic. In my inimitably charming way, I said people who would judge where and how I spend my money should go fuck themselves. Now in case there was anyone I didn’t offend with that last post – let’s see if I can cover them with this one.
The Prudence of Spending Money
Last post we discussed why being “realistic” was a bad premise. I suggested that a better word to use when considering something that might be considered expensive, extravagant, or not realistic is prudent. So let’s go back to Tom’s original question about the ocean front room vs. the dumpster behind Denny’s view, let’s explore it in the prudent context.
Why Being Realistic is Usually a Horrible Idea
In the last post I challenged you to expand your prosperity consciousness – the window through which you see the world. When you do this, you develop bigger dreams for yourself, then set bigger goals for yourself, then create a better reality for yourself.
Expanding Your Prosperity Consciousness
We talk a lot here about expanding your consciousness. And a great deal about prosperity. So let’s tie them together and explore expanding your prosperity consciousness…
Being Driven vs. Called to Contribute
There is a qualitative difference with being driven to accomplish something, and actually experiencing an inner calling that makes your heart beat faster. I like to associate with people who are experiencing a calling and want to contribute.
The Demands of Love and Relationships
Years ago, when I first read the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I felt the real breakthrough was Covey’s simple, yet profound insight that you must first achieve independence before you can accomplish interdependence.
Seeking Meaning and Finding Yourself
I expressed my doubt about the wisdom of attempting to discover who you are through the pathway of organized religion. If you took that route and it worked for you, I couldn’t be happier for you. But for most of the people attempting it, they don’t discover themselves, but instead end up, submerging themselves.
Managing Your Money
If someone offered you an extraordinary business opportunity, could you come up with $5,000 to do it? Do you always carry a few hundred dollars (or euros, pounds or whatever) of folding money around with you in case of emergency? If you needed $1,000 tonight for a hospital bill, could you handle it, or would you have to do an Easter egg hunt for it?
