Giving and giving … and the money is going multiplying
|
I hope you have seen the conference that I went Panasiuk Andrew’s post Why talk about finances? . I admit I love that man (and not in the sense that they are thinking), but has an awesome way to witness about what the use and abuse of money makes to our lives.
That same week I published the post From bad to worse which had about my tribulations with the damage that happened to me lately. And in that post I left a comment which I found extremely funny, as well as interesting from a psychological point of view and beliefs about money.
NO miserable millionaire said:
You earn 30 000 per month and live in misery (miserably). It says the old familiar refrain: wealth is a thirst that is not filled. Continues to accumulate cash. No one knows for whom she works. Or as a bonus when he learned of a person who is stingy rete rete greedy and like you, has to want to be the richest in the pantheon.
And if I have to admit that if I have more resources today than in the past, not necessarily because this spending less, but because I am giving or giving more to others, to be more accurate about 30% of my income.
In the class we talked about finances I just beliefs about money, and perhaps the most common between us is that having money is bad, And such is the aversion that we have to even touch the money makes us feel dirty and the general recommendation is to wash your hands immediately, which is not necessarily to do when we touch other items that may be equally or more polluted (just imagine each Once you get to the mouth a soda can that you bought on the street).
What also is assumed that if you spend the money then you are a miser, the correct question would be do you need or just want to spend that money? . Spending money on useless items that do not add or prosperity to our lives is the same or worse to never have had, more is even worse because we waste the opportunity to use it to create wealth and becoming debt ends.
And I think this is the crux of the matter: the value of money is not money itself, but what you do with it.
When I understood this concept, stop spending just because we had available and now we think more in a matter of cost benefit. Now evaluate the welfare that can bring to my life and the lives of others instead of worrying that other people think.
And here comes the explanation of the title of the post.
When I attended the course of Andres Panasiuk liderea group gave us the challenge of sharing as part of our financial healing process. The measures will be multiplied des told us. At that moment my mind went X amount of very valid arguments to me for not giving clear and I was not the only one, but the person who moderated the course we responded very wisely:
You project what is in your heart, what do you think will make money is what you would do with that money.
And he was right …. Every argument for not giving an excuse was just based on my own beliefs.
Returning to the original comment: if you do not spend miserable. Now if it was spent in debt and qualify to heaven because then it would be poor and miserable, but good people … .. and the poor is the kingdom of heaven say … ..
Interestingly and not spending binge has done wonders to consciously: a fact that my money grow, opportunities to earn more money without searching are presented, as are opportunities to save ….
Coincidence?
I do not think so.
It was time to stop giving this testimony, that has changed my life in a radical and positive because the money is not worth what you can buy, but by the good you can do with it.
And well, yes, and it may be a poor wretch on earth, for my treasure is not in this world but in another.
