The Truth About Money
by: Kathy Thompson
How much money do you want? How much is enough? How much money is too much?
The Truth is --- You don't need money! Let's find out why?
Money is really just a form of exchange. Here is an example. 10 people are in a room. Only one person has $1. Person #2 had a pocket knife he was willing to sell to person #1 for $1. Person #1 buys it, giving the dollar to person #2. Person #3 has a book, which person #2 wants and buys it giving the dollar to #3. Person #4 has a watch that #3 buys, so #4 got the $1. #5 has some earrings #4 bought. This goes on until finally #10 has the dollar. $10 worth of transactions took place with only $1.
The only thing that money can buy is LABOR. Well, think about this. The price you paid for your home buys nothing but labor. The labor paid for the felling of trees, reducing them to lumber, labor for making the concrete, and other materials that came from the earth.
When you buy food, you are paying for the labor that is involved for growing, cultivating, transporting the foodstuffs.
Actually the Earth supplies everything we need in abundance for FREE -- trees, ore, raw materials for clothes, metals, food. We pay people to bring it to us.
In your daily life you are not working for money (working for yourself or someone else), you are working for what it buys! Keep that in mind. Money has nothing to do with happiness.
Make an agreement with yourself and the world to spread your abundance around. It will be returned to you. Then you will be successful, prosperous and happy. What is important to you?
