Is Money Important?

We know money isn’t everything; but people always holding this adage are usually just as guilty as belittling the value money places in our lives. A six figure income might not be your immediate goal, but money is still needed in order to survive.

Money is a valuable commodity. If you doubt this basic truth, your banker will be more than happy to educate you on this. Why else is everybody making money? It is because cash is the medium by which almost all our daily transactions are done by. If you don’t think money is relevant; it’s time to wake up and smell the $10 cup of coffee.

Now that we have established that money is important and indeed, a useful tool in life; you can now aspire to become rich without the guilt that sometimes come in having more than enough. It is essential that we understand though that money should serve us and not the other way around.

Countless intelligent men and women actively pursuing to reach their career goals and attain financial freedom have forgotten this important principle. Making money in itself is not bad as long as we understand its proper place in our lives. Relationships and personal growth should always come before our career goals.

Another misconception people have towards money is that it is acquired through luck. As if a six figure income just miraculously dropped into Joe Smith’s lap simply because he was standing at the right place at the right time.

Don’t get me wrong-luck does come into play in our lives at some point. However, it is not what you use to gain financial freedom. Gamblers become rich quickly because of luck-they also lose just as fast if that’s all they have going for them. You have to plan ahead, be tenacious in your goals and believe the best before you see lasting financial fruit manifest in your life.

Always keep in mind that the two ingredients for success are preparation and luck. Easy money that is not coupled with hard work is misleading. If you, however, have purpose and passion in your endeavors– then it is a natural response to work hard, thereby making earning money easy, as well as meaningful.

You should not love money but it is not a bad thing to like what it can bring into your life. Attract it by respecting it and using it wisely in everything that you do.
