WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT MONEY?..........................................Okiki Odero-Rege.(Okiki Oderos DAILY REFLECTIONS.) Money is sweet, Money is power, money is freedom... - Carl Sandburg. Howsoever, most people do not have as much money as they would because, Money often costs too much - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Let me take this opportunity to confess my love. To confess my love for money! Yesterday, going through Facebook, I stumbled upon one of those Robert Kiyosakis wise thoughts concerning money. This quote was on one my friends profiles. Kennedy Omari, thank you for that wonderful quote. That quote reminded me of my other best MONEY AUTHOR, one of the stars of Rhonda Byrnes THE SECRET. His name is Joe Vitale, and the book I am referring to is ATTRACT MONEY NOW. Jim Rohn says, Money is usually attracted, not pursued. I made a promise to my friend, that I would REFLECT ON MONEY, specifically, that I would reflect on Joe Vitales ATTRACT MONEY NOW. Ken, I am sorry, I could not. But, I will share a collection of thoughts by various people on MONEY. Joe Vitales book has SEVEN STEPS of attracting money. The first step, according to Joe Vitale is to ANALYZE how we think about money. Secondly, to ALTER how we think about money. You will be surprised! Our thoughts make us poor and penniless. Even Solomon agrees with Joe Vitale. Solomon says, The thoughts of the diligent tend only to PLENTY... Proverbs 21:5. If you are a DILIGENT THINKER, you will always have more than enough of all you need, wealth, money, and all. (See Mathew 6:33). It is all about how you THINK! Euripides, the wise Greek Philosopher agrees. Says He, Money is the wise mans religion. No man can be wise and poor at the same time, such a notion is contrary to the commonest of senses. Wisdom creates WEALTH (See Proverbs 3:16). What we are supposed to be is IS WISE, Wealth flows from energy and ideas - William Feather. Rich peoples wisdom enable them to convert time into money, Everyday is bank account, and time is our currency...weve got 24 hours each! - Christopher Rice. The source of poverty is the failure to see things as they TRULY ARE. As a result, we have what Joe Vitale refers to as LIMITING BELIEFS, Limiting beliefs are like thieves in the night. And some of your beliefs are more costly than others. He continues to say that, ...the direction of your thoughts and the explanations you give to yourself are extremely important in determining if you will attract or repel money. In essence, most people habour thoughts that actually repel money. He therefore recommends a MENTAL REBIRTH, in so far as money is CONCERNED, The first step to attracting money is to understand and alter how you think. Further, that, In order to do this, you must address your underlying beliefs. Having studied both the CONSCIOUS and the SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND, I agree with Joe Vitale. Subconsciously, most people HATE MONEY. Analyzing this phenomena even deeper, the hatred of money derives from a lack of self love. Joe Vitale says, How you feel about yourself determines how much money or anything else that flows into your life. Life is that simple! You will attract as much money as you BELIEVE YOU DESERVE. Many people believe that they deserve little, not much. For this reason that the majority are poor, and the minority are RICH. The poor majority, have mostly grown up in poverty, and believe that they do not DESERVE MUCH. We will only get as much as we BELIEVE, ...as you have believed, let it be done... (Jesus) Mathew 9:29. What do you BELIEVE? Do you believe that you deserve much? Are are you among the majority who believe that they do NOT DESERVE MUCH? What are you? What do you believe? All I ask is the chance to prove that money cant make me happy Those are the words of Spike Milligan. Yes, money can make you HAPPY! But, only if money becomes a tool, never your master, Make money your god, and it will plague you like the devil - Henry Fielding. Money is a tool, an excellent tool for exchanging value: YOUR VALUE! Money is ONLY A TOOL... - Ayn Rand. What value can you give to the world? What can you offer to the world? Money is SIMPLY, a means of exchanging YOUR VALUE. What is your WORTH, as a person? Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much - Erich Fromm. What will you give the WORLD, for all the MONEY you both need and want? That is the central question! Money makes your life easier. If youre lucky to have it, youre lucky! - Al Pacino. ©2014. Okiki Odero Rege. Okiki Oderos DAILY REFLECTIONS. All Rights Reserved.p
