Money is a tool that, depending on how we use it, can bring much joy to our lives or it can bring destruction.
Be aware of all the possibilities it offers as well as the pitfalls.
Some of the most amazing things have been done because people had the financial resources to fund the businesses have been built, schools started and philanthropic charities founded that have accomplished much good.
On the other hand, friendships have been ruined, illicit gains profited and lives destroyed all over money.
Earn all you can, save all you can and give all you can.
A person who sees the powerful force for good that money can be will more likely keep their own life in balance by pursuing the disciplines of earning, saving and giving, which, together, create the perfect tension and balance.
But we must also remember that money has a seductive side and tells you it will solve all of your problems, but it won’t. It is great to have money lots of it as long as your life is in balance and you keep the proper perspective.
It is important that we own our money and not the other way around.
The first way to make sure money doesn’t own us is to deal with the issue of debt.
We would do well to remember the old proverb,
“The borrower is the servant to the lender.”
