THE TRUTH ABOUT MONEY

"The best thing in life is free-anonymous

I believe it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be a free man than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. – H.L. Mencken.

Obviously, money is one of the most important thing and most important part of our life. The thought of it dominate our everyday discussions and dictate our existence. All our lives revolve around making money, acquiring money or spending it. But sad to say many people have focused so much on acquiring money to the extent of affecting their lives and their personal relationship with others especially their family members. These had led them to live an unbalanced life thereby making them to neglect other areas of life, such as;

*Relationship.     *Health      *Personal growth

                 *Recreation         *Legacy.     *and so on.

You don’t have to go this road. Why, you may ask?

Because money is not real. Hey! Surprised, I know you would.

Let me restate that fact MONEY IS NOT REAL. Money is just what the experts call it „a form of exchange‟ or better still „a medium of exchange‟ meaning that money represents value. What is that value? This value rises and falls with time. Without you and I things will no have value they will become valueless. We are the one that give things the value they have.

How do I mean?

By way of example consider the fashion industry. Today, some clothing or style are said to be in vogue and later that same clothing are said to be old fashioned and after some years people start putting value on that same old style. Then what do you see? People spontaneously going crazy for that same old stuff. Just like a cycle.

These occur virtually in every area of our lives, it happens in market, money, even in relationship. In a market situation, it is called market sentiment, meaning that if the market, i.e. if people love a particular company for some reason, then the value of the company shares will increase. And where people dislike or as a result of fear starts selling out their shares, then the value of such company depreciates.

Here is another example to buttress my assertion that money is not real. Some years ago, Central Bank of Nigeria and the Federal government changed our naira note from its paper form to the polymer notes. Then what happened? We shifted our value from the old paper note to the new naira note. Now, if tomorrow they change it to plastic note then what happens? We shift the value again.

Recently during one of my seminars I asked “As desperate as people are about money which includes you, if you come across a pile of the old naira note will you pick it up and spend it?” Surprisingly the whole room roared and said “No”! Now you can see that money is not real. Ok if money is not real, then what is it?

Money is just an idea and that is why I want you to stop seeing money as what people see it today; the cash, the big pay cheque, the bank account etc. But instead I want you to see money as an idea, a value that lies between you and within people around you. Once you can understand this, you will come to realize that gaining financial freedom and attracting wealth is very easy.

The knowledge you are going to gain is very rear. Meaning that nobody teaches you this within the school system even the so called financial analyst do not understand it, that is why you need to understand and apply the knowledge there-in.

The money you see around is an exact representation of someone’s internal value, so what you need to understand for you to acquire financial freedom and the wealth you so much desire is to develop an idea with an intricate value which other people will appreciate and accept, which in turn will automatically increase your external money.

These means that the more value you can add to other people lives the wealthier you become and just as Zig-Zigglar rightly put it: “If you can help enough people to get what they want then you can get what you want”.
