Gaining wealth isn’t all about you!

in #life6 years ago

Most people think getting lots and lots of money is what they need to make them rich… with that so stuck in their minds, they miss the point of what really makes the money! 

If you look a lot closer,

At people who have become very wealthy: 

What made them so rich?

  1. What were they promoting and selling? Usually it’s something people needed, a desire or a craving. 
  2. If it was their talent, their talent provided entertainment that people enjoyed. 
  3. If it was a skill, an invention or technology, it provided a service or knowledge that would advance business and science, and ultimately humanity in some way or other. 

What do you get from that?

It’s all about other people and the masses out there. 

  • Ultimately, it was something that other people benefitted from. They played into their hopes and dreams… that is what made those wealthy guys so rich! 

Changing our objective:

Instead of doing something to gain lots of money for ourselves, look at what you can do for mankind.  

Consider what people really need, desire and enjoy most. How you can help them obtain their deepest cravings? That lifestyle they always wanted to live, etc? 

Changing our attitude:

  • When we start thinking of other people, we become humble. And we are more teachable when we are humble. We are more likely to learn from our mistakes too. 
  • We begin to see why people do the things they do, their circumstances, struggles and therefore their needs. Deep down what needs doing, and with that knowledge you can device a method or product to fix those situations and problems. 

Getting wet:

It’s like watering your garden, you sure to get wet in the process!! 

  • When you help other people, somehow or other, you begin to benefit too! Tenfold with every effort you make! 
  • It may not be money at first that comes in. But because you initiated it in the beginning, the wheels of fortune turn and come your way after a while. 

How good is your sickle?

We reap what we sow… what you have previously done and nourished with love and concern, persistently.  

Sitting around waiting for money to leap into your lap, is ridiculous. Action must be taken, for things to really happen. 

When you cut into the harvest, to reap from all your effort, what type of sickle do you use? A sharp or blunt one, or one of gratitude?! 

Fame can go to our heads:

Take for instance: You watch how most actors and actresses when their stardom arrives; they think they have made it all. They tend to waste the money on themselves and on their personal needs and desires. Sadly it isn’t long before they succumb to drugs and/or fall into deep debt. 

Note: They no longer acted to please people. They feel they had a right to please themselves! 

But it is the wise guy:

Who gives back to humanity some of their wealth… 

I’ve noted some of successful people who have had schools and universities built for areas where education was a great need. Bought land and built lovely homes for the poor, and built hospitals and training centres to improve people’s health care, etc. 

And what happens: Somehow they continue to receive money like a `tsunami, more than they ever expected. 

Sort:  

Poor knockout p ordered him dreaming to be rich and not so defect, but p least has the ambition and hope of life is for him going on to what InshaAllah, and the smile never Agah where pleased with little, he Lester his body and eat a loaf of bread enough for him and he has a house harboring the Lord of the universe hardly need.

It is good to be ambitious because it keeps us motivated.
But how are we enjoying the process?

I hope that the conviction does not mean that a man stands idle
And does not seek the best argument of disguise

In return, money should not be everything
And the proof of tyranny and that tramples the powers on the weak

Seeking the best is needed but without dancing over the wounds of others :)

I must admit when there is lots of money in my purse and some in the bank, it gives me a feeling of power and comfort to know the security it can bring.
That feeling of power can go out of proportion, and tyrants are born.

Money is not everything. Money is our basic need. we can't survive without money in the world. I accept it. But your family, friends and relatives your everything. The bitter reality of life one day everyone died. And also study is very important for our life. Now a days technology going to much faster. Without study we can't understand it. Thanks for sharing this valuable post. @artguru.

I realize money is important when we need a roof over our heads,clothes on our bodies and food in our tummies. But this post was meant to show folks that making money involves knowing what other people want and not letting it destroy our lives.

Money is the way of salvation from poverty or ascension to the greatest status in society, money at that time, I believe was included in the political matters only

When one is poor, money has a greater meaning. But if we are going out of our way to make it big time, we must know what the possible consequences of becoming really rich.

Money is not all the most important Shi health and peace

Yes, while we are making money we must put it to good purpose. Things that bring peace to everyone, not just ourselves.

Great topic But I think that money makes a large proportion of happiness in human

I found the more money one has, the more we are inclined to spent it. It seems there is never enough to support our lifestyles. The richer you are, then you have to pay for security and insurances, etc, etc!

One of the most millionaires who sleep only with sedatives and sleeping pills, one walking with his own doctor, his bag full of needles and instruments of measurement of sugar and pressure, while the poor world that receives a salary is scarce and does not receive it in its time; The nearest chair in the road

I suppose the more money you have, you feel entitled to the best. Soon we eat too much of the wrong things and our health goes down the tubes. So is wealth really good for us?!

Money is not everything in life my dear
There is something more important than money in life, for example, mind and health
How many people now have big money but suffer from incurable and incurable disease
How many people have inherited millions but have been quarantined for the loss of the grace of reason

Money is lovely to have, but how we handle it is important. Our personality and habits can be transformed overnight for the good or bad.

If it is useless for money, I hope you will give me all your money or something like that
Money has a great role to draw happiness
Yes, not everything is bought with money but it remains a big money
That's a view

We stand and look at rich people with all their fine big houses, their fancy clothes and cars, but we don't realize to keep it running, servants and the insurances, etc involved... we would realize not is all hanky-dory in that home!

Your words are right There are some people who have a lot of money but they lose something better and better

A friend of mine over the Christmas season went on holiday with her very rich relations and was so glad to be home again. She said they had friends around all day and night. And all of them grumbled about their mansions and argued most of the time. And the noise was so loud all the time.
So is money so important?

Who among us does not care about collecting money?!

But life is just all we care about is collecting money

Yes, we work our butts off working for wages and profit. The thing is to work smart with the money we get.

No marriage and no respectable life without money ... But our lives will be very boring if we spend it as well I do not deny that money is beautiful

I too would like lots of money, but if I look back on my life, most of the great things we did, didn't always involve a lot of money. We had a 10 acre plot and when I walked away from our house, going behind some trees and shrubs, I couldn't see our house. Still on our property, I only saw a vast valley and countryside before me. It gave me such a feeling of peace. It was like going on a picnic. And it didn't cost me anything, just a few steps.

Money is a way of life that facilitates movement.
As for what money may do to you, it depends on your use of it, not the money itself

Yes. It's how you enjoyed yourself while making money. Sometimes we are too serious about money and lose how we are treating others.

Life is short.so we should enjoy this life.thanks for sharing this post.

Yes, when we get old, we suddenly realize how short life is. When we look back, we see we wasted a lot of time working hard to put food on the table. We got so involved with the day-to-day actives, we forgot to spend more time with our children.

Whoever makes money is everything. He has done anything for him, and whoever works for money has nothing to do with it. If he had everything, he would have found misery. If God had found anything that had been lost, he would have lost anything.

Working for money! But what do we get in the end? When we look in our purse... it's empty again.
Then we start all over again,and again. What did we really get during the time we were working for the money? Were we happy in the process?

Money can bring any medicine in the world, but it can not offer its owner wellness, with money you can buy the best rooms and mattresses, but he can not give you good sleep

We generally sleep well when we don't own anyone money, paid our debts fully, and not worried about the police knocking on our door! ;)

The main reasons for happiness lie in conviction and contentment not by money

We feel content at the end of the day when we know we completed all there was to do for the day. Not a moment wasted and lots achieved.
Also feel contented when we see our family running around, doing their thing and laughing with happiness.

Money is the most important thing in life and it is the basis and the reason for happiness and no one can ever deny

Ja, but how many people actually enjoy themselves while making it?

Sure, money is not everything in life. Happiness, love and friendship can not be bought with money
How many people lived poor and died poor and now people remember him and mercy on him in return there are people rich with their death,
In the end man is the leader of his life and money is just a means

They say the world evolves around money. But friendship built while obtaining, it is the cherry-on-the-top!

I find that science is more useful than money
Because not everything in this life is money, but basically is science, science is light and illuminates the paths in front of humans, in front of every student to him, money is sold and bought

Yes, knowledge and science is what helps make money!

It is possible to buy money with a home rather than a home ...

Money buys an hour and does not buy time

If you pay your debts, you don't have to spend time in jail! ;)

And yes money is important (and very important) so much so we work long hours a day .. but to think about it absolutely

How much do people really spend thinking about it all day long. We also spend also time worrying about our family, what to wear, etc, etc. So it's not all about money, hey.

The bottom line is that money is a blessing to improve living and psychological comfort
But it is people who turn it into a vengeance

It's what we do with it, hey. For good or bad! Bless people or use it as a vengeance, that is what you're saying?!

Money does not buy happiness
Money does not buy love
Money does not buy peace of mind
Money is sometimes evil to the owner

Money buys chocolate, that my husband buys me! Hehe! ;)
No seriously, you are right.

There is no greater truth in this wisdom
I heard it a lot
And renewed in my heart as if for the first time
Actually this is the life of money
All thanks to you @artguru

Yes, what was said in the post we may have heard many times before, but sometimes we need to be reminded. And if we consider the needs and desires of others we are more likely to succeed in this life.

Of course money has an undeniable role
But the grace of your Lord came to pass
But money is not the means
For happiness.
And only how much Saad
The poor and some lived life
More beautiful than the lives of the rich.

I learnt many years ago, that it's up to me to make myself happy. No one else will do it for me, not even money.

You are right Dear..I am totally agree with you..

I know you most probably know all this. But sometimes we need reminding, don't you think?!

Without healthy money unthinkable..
So,health fast than Money..

Money buys us food, etc, so need some to live. I understand that.
But the purpose of this post was how to make it more effectively.

Nice topic i interested to reading thank you @artguru

Glad you enjoyed it.
If we think of others, we gain friends on the road to success.
