Gaining wealth isn’t all about you!

in #life6 years ago

Most people think getting lots and lots of money is what they need to make them rich… with that so stuck in their minds, they miss the point of what really makes the money! 

If you look a lot closer,

At people who have become very wealthy: 

What made them so rich?

  1. What were they promoting and selling? Usually it’s something people needed, a desire or a craving. 
  2. If it was their talent, their talent provided entertainment that people enjoyed. 
  3. If it was a skill, an invention or technology, it provided a service or knowledge that would advance business and science, and ultimately humanity in some way or other. 

What do you get from that?

It’s all about other people and the masses out there. 

  • Ultimately, it was something that other people benefitted from. They played into their hopes and dreams… that is what made those wealthy guys so rich! 

Changing our objective:

Instead of doing something to gain lots of money for ourselves, look at what you can do for mankind.  

Consider what people really need, desire and enjoy most. How you can help them obtain their deepest cravings? That lifestyle they always wanted to live, etc? 

Changing our attitude:

  • When we start thinking of other people, we become humble. And we are more teachable when we are humble. We are more likely to learn from our mistakes too. 
  • We begin to see why people do the things they do, their circumstances, struggles and therefore their needs. Deep down what needs doing, and with that knowledge you can device a method or product to fix those situations and problems. 

Getting wet:

It’s like watering your garden, you sure to get wet in the process!! 

  • When you help other people, somehow or other, you begin to benefit too! Tenfold with every effort you make! 
  • It may not be money at first that comes in. But because you initiated it in the beginning, the wheels of fortune turn and come your way after a while. 

How good is your sickle?

We reap what we sow… what you have previously done and nourished with love and concern, persistently.  

Sitting around waiting for money to leap into your lap, is ridiculous. Action must be taken, for things to really happen. 

When you cut into the harvest, to reap from all your effort, what type of sickle do you use? A sharp or blunt one, or one of gratitude?! 

Fame can go to our heads:

Take for instance: You watch how most actors and actresses when their stardom arrives; they think they have made it all. They tend to waste the money on themselves and on their personal needs and desires. Sadly it isn’t long before they succumb to drugs and/or fall into deep debt. 

Note: They no longer acted to please people. They feel they had a right to please themselves! 

But it is the wise guy:

Who gives back to humanity some of their wealth… 

I’ve noted some of successful people who have had schools and universities built for areas where education was a great need. Bought land and built lovely homes for the poor, and built hospitals and training centres to improve people’s health care, etc. 

And what happens: Somehow they continue to receive money like a `tsunami, more than they ever expected. 

Sort:  

Poor knockout p ordered him dreaming to be rich and not so defect, but p least has the ambition and hope of life is for him going on to what InshaAllah, and the smile never Agah where pleased with little, he Lester his body and eat a loaf of bread enough for him and he has a house harboring the Lord of the universe hardly need.

It is good to be ambitious because it keeps us motivated.
But how are we enjoying the process?

I hope that the conviction does not mean that a man stands idle
And does not seek the best argument of disguise

In return, money should not be everything
And the proof of tyranny and that tramples the powers on the weak

Seeking the best is needed but without dancing over the wounds of others :)

I must admit when there is lots of money in my purse and some in the bank, it gives me a feeling of power and comfort to know the security it can bring.
That feeling of power can go out of proportion, and tyrants are born.

Money is not everything. Money is our basic need. we can't survive without money in the world. I accept it. But your family, friends and relatives your everything. The bitter reality of life one day everyone died. And also study is very important for our life. Now a days technology going to much faster. Without study we can't understand it. Thanks for sharing this valuable post. @artguru.

I realize money is important when we need a roof over our heads,clothes on our bodies and food in our tummies. But this post was meant to show folks that making money involves knowing what other people want and not letting it destroy our lives.

Money is the way of salvation from poverty or ascension to the greatest status in society, money at that time, I believe was included in the political matters only

When one is poor, money has a greater meaning. But if we are going out of our way to make it big time, we must know what the possible consequences of becoming really rich.

Money is not all the most important Shi health and peace

Yes, while we are making money we must put it to good purpose. Things that bring peace to everyone, not just ourselves.

Great topic But I think that money makes a large proportion of happiness in human

I found the more money one has, the more we are inclined to spent it. It seems there is never enough to support our lifestyles. The richer you are, then you have to pay for security and insurances, etc, etc!

One of the most millionaires who sleep only with sedatives and sleeping pills, one walking with his own doctor, his bag full of needles and instruments of measurement of sugar and pressure, while the poor world that receives a salary is scarce and does not receive it in its time; The nearest chair in the road

I suppose the more money you have, you feel entitled to the best. Soon we eat too much of the wrong things and our health goes down the tubes. So is wealth really good for us?!

Money is not everything in life my dear
There is something more important than money in life, for example, mind and health
How many people now have big money but suffer from incurable and incurable disease
How many people have inherited millions but have been quarantined for the loss of the grace of reason

Money is lovely to have, but how we handle it is important. Our personality and habits can be transformed overnight for the good or bad.

If it is useless for money, I hope you will give me all your money or something like that
Money has a great role to draw happiness
Yes, not everything is bought with money but it remains a big money
That's a view

We stand and look at rich people with all their fine big houses, their fancy clothes and cars, but we don't realize to keep it running, servants and the insurances, etc involved... we would realize not is all hanky-dory in that home!

Your words are right There are some people who have a lot of money but they lose something better and better

A friend of mine over the Christmas season went on holiday with her very rich relations and was so glad to be home again. She said they had friends around all day and night. And all of them grumbled about their mansions and argued most of the time. And the noise was so loud all the time.
So is money so important?
