Worshipping Money Makes You Poor

It is inevitable to have an encounter with different people and you don't find someone who always speaks and dreams only of acquiring huge sums of money.

Many go through their lives dreaming and fantasizing about money day and night. Even if they are to be asked what is your dream or goal. They will say to have money. These kinds of people are money worshippers.

Money worshippers will do anything and everything for as long as they will gain money from it. They only show kindness and respect to those perceived as " having money". They even only love those who are perceived to "have the money." That is why we have the scourge of adult ice boys.

In my experience, I have encountered money worshippers. To this day many of them still do not have the money they dearly wish for. They are stagnant.

Because of the world that portrays money as the one and only ultimate goal, money worshippers spend their days fantasizing about miraculously waking up rich. All of them utter statements like, "The day I win the lottery". Hence we witness the obsession with gambling in our current world.

Unfortunately, many of them remain in their situations for lengthy periods and often, forever.

What they fail to understand about the acquisition of money is the fact that it follows value. I am not only saying this because I merely think so. I say it because it's a universal life principle.

The sole focus on money distracts one from seeing the real objective—which is to create value—not just the how but the why. Why should you receive the money? That is the question we all must answer.

Money worshippers will respond, "Because I deserver it" or "I've been poor for so long".

There is no real why they should acquire the money they dream of. Essentially, what are they going to provide so they can gain? This is a universal principle as well, the law of reciprocity.

Those who acquire the money they desire; first create something valuable, something that will be worth the money they wish for. And they have a clear why they are creating that sort of a thing, be it a product or a service.

Money worshippers do not have this perspective.

They hear one person has won the lottery, or about a so and so won the tender. And miraculously think they will also have the same luck.

How can you wish to win a tender when you have never even bid for one? It doesn't make sense. But money worshippers truly believe that can happen to them.

Of course, as a female money worshipper for example; you may be lucky to find a wealthy man who can provide you with all your wishes. But at what cost? Also, how many are there who wished to someday get a rich prince charming who'll make their dreams come true but ended up dying poor? So many.

The more you only chase after money, you're likely going to spend the rest of your living years chasing it but never having it. If you get lucky, it will not be the kind of money you wish for.

We all need money, but without having a proper WHY and the creation of something of VALUE to the marketplace (society), you will remain in the same condition for many years to come.

Solely depending on luck is a recipe to remain poor until you carry the soil by your chest.

As you need money to better your life, refrain from completely worshipping it. Know your why, and then create something of value for yourself and others. In doing so, you are heightening your chances of having "luck" to achieve your wish eventually.

"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity"

• Seneca

So, before you remain in a poor state forever; refrain from being a money worshipper and start to be an opportunity seizer.
