How did our feelings about money become so mixed up? Obviously
you can't change a person's feelings or ingrained beliefs if they don't
want to change. And you shouldn't even try.
Wanting to change has to come from within, and until that happens - all
the talking and convincing in the world will NOT change that person's
views.
The below comment was made by someone who viewed my video
"Showing Gratitude," that is listed on YouTube. I felt compelled to
share this conversation with you for two reasons.
1. To give you an understanding of how the majority of the people on this planet feel about
wealth and money.
2. And to have you realize how our ingrained beliefs and our choices can affect the
entire planet.
The Statement Is Below:
you should have just thanked for the steal, metal,
protons, neutrons, and all the other elements on the world.
Not, the
things that was builted by man or created by man by their own ideas
because god
did not put those thoughts in their mind.
i can list lots of things connected to money and all are negative.
Only
positive things about money is that it can buy people's needs and wants
but then again that makes greed inside others more powerful then a
normal person with
nothing at all.
yes rich and poor was a choice but wonder what it would be like if those
were not in the list to pick? yes money does make poverty because with
out money people would be growing and making things for one another and
not for money
or status.
My Response:
The concept behind this video is showing gratitude and being thankful
for EVERYTHING we have
in our lives. Think about this, where do you
suppose ALL our creativity comes from, that's
used to create man-made
things.
It comes from God! I don't pick and choose certain things to be
thankful for!? I'm thankful
for all there is, and I know God is the
creator of everything. His blessings are unlimited... so
is my gratitude.
Be blessed and have a fruitful life.
Use Money Wisely - It's A Great Tool
My heart is sadden by the above statement however and our feelings about
money, because this person doesn't seem to be aware that all
of
our creative thoughts and abilities to build, manufacture and grow
crops comes from a higher source than just our own thoughts and
abilities.
This person doesn't seem to understand that all the greatness and beauty
on this planet that is man-made, first came as a spark of inspiration
from
a source that's greater than us!
Yes, man has free-will to make choices, but don't make the mistake of
thinking that we function as a totally seperate entity from this higher
source. In a more humorous note, look at this way; we make the choices,
but God has the
last word!
My heart and prayers go out to this person. Not so much because of how they feel,
but because
this person is not alone in feeling this way. Our feelings about money has become
just as confused as our lives.
Realize That Money Is Nothing But A Tool...
Neither good, bad, evil or
negative. It's energy like everything else on this planet and in
the
universe.
What makes the difference in our feelings about money is how
we choose to use our FREE-WILL in handling money and any other resource
that's been given to us.
In other words - don't blame the resources because of how we have
decided to use them. We create and are responsible for our own greed and
mis-use of these resources... not the resources themselves. They are
totally innocent of
our decisions.
When we come to understand this, and put it in perspective, we begin to
understand our relationship with this planet... with each other, with
the universe and with money.
Our Decisions - Our FREE WILL Affects Us All
More than we realize. Our
views, our beliefs, our truths decide how this planet will either
succeed or fail.
We must learn to take responsibility for our decisions... Our FREE WILL.
Our feelings about
money. We can't continue to blame the
resources on this planet for our mis-guided and greedful
decisions.
Personally, I think money is wonderful! It's a great tool! And if used
wisely and properly, it can do amazing things for yourself and others!
So it's up to each individual to keep money in perspective and not put
it above all else.
And to also realize that our feelings about money and being wealthy
doesn't make us the devil's
advocate. We should rejoice in our
creativity... rejoice in our world and all its
resources - including
money! Give thanks for EVERYTHING and give thanks to God for our
free-will.
