What money can and cannot do

You asked for his or her parent’s background. Whether or not they own a company, or the very least they are a “somebody who knows who” in a government institution.
No, you say money is not the case here. You just want to make sure that you will not end up making acquaintances with one who will never do you any benefit of the relationship in terms of networking or business.

Your sister is no longer in your contacts list. The last call she made was about a help needed for the repair of her son’s motorbike. You have had enough. This is not about money; you are just trying to educate her about real parenting. You know she will eventually pay the money back, even if it is by an installment that seems like it never ends. But you are too tired of it. She should be able to discipline his son. You try to convince your reasons being.

Your son is doing all the best he can. He switches jobs and business from one to another. Jump into another track before even seeing the result of the soil he just started working on. He wants you to see that he is not the black sheep of the family just because he did not want to be a lawyer like you or your other son. You say you did not want him to feel that way, you just think he deserves to drive a Mercedes instead of a Toyota. No, you try to reassure. It is not about how much money your son should be able to earn. It is about what he really is capable to do. You tell him once again.

To my limited experience and whereabouts in life, all of those situations above don’t seem rare. I know people who are in it. I know those who are in denial of it. I, truth be told – was in one of the scenario. It also may happen to you just as you are reading through this post. But let us clarify one thing. Are you 100 % sure that money does not play any single vibe power? Are you sure what you really think about is others well being?

As time flies, I learn. Money has its toll. Along with its charm and its power. And as long as you are breathing in this world, you will never get away from the everlasting influences money can bring. Not before your body be one with the earth or turn into ashes again.

Money can be the element on how you measure your success, your skill or your achievements. But never let that define your state of happiness.  Money can be the reason for you to build a solid roof on top of your head. But it should not get in the way when you really have to create a “home”

Money can be the reason for you to say either yes or no to buy the latest gadget or to book a trip to Europe. But, money should not be the case when it comes to being helpful to your own family, or people in despair. If you can read this, I believe you are among the fortunate people in life who have more than enough to spend and to share.

Money can make you feel you have done your best or feel you could do better. But, money should not be the comparison you use when you see your children is doing their passion instead of following your career path.
It can be the strength you have that comes right after a hard work and perseverance, it- at a certain level- can boost your self esteem. But… Money should not be the final attempt to make people fall in love for you. You know this, money…vanishes.

How much money you and your future spouse have can be something that is essential for you both to discuss. But let not that ruin your little dream of making a happy family. Money can deliver you to get the finest education, the most lavish food, the most sophisticated medical service. However, be careful not to let your search for money ends you up in a hospital bed nor your appetite turn into greed.

Money can make things easier to be done, faster completed, prettier packaged. But never let money empower you to do the things you were not suppose to do, nor be the reason for you to harm anyone. Money can be the reason for you to move from where you are now, but it should not let you lose faith in things that are greater than the world itself.

So that in the end …
You know that money can be a part of you, but you never let yourself getting lost and be part of it instead…
