MONEY AND ABUNDANCE
Money is a mathematical measure of a person’s earthly influence.
Wealth is commonly reviled by those who have never encountered it. Many people go through life believing that the pursuit of money is the root of all evil – ignoring the fact that money can often solve life’s most heartbreaking tribulations.
Is the money a mother uses to care for her evil child? Is the money an artist receives in exchange for years of practice and hardship evil? Is the money a corrupt company pays its employees evil?
The choice of money between good and evil is decided by those who use it.
Money has no feeling, no voice, no soul. When one is hungry, one cannot eat paper or gold. The same money that can be used to hurt can also be used to heal. For the dictator, money is a means of weapons and death. For the beggar, money is a means of food and life.
Pursue a life of Abundance.
This planet is rich enough for all people everywhere to live in the joys of abundance. A life of Abundance is a life filled to the brim, overflowing its edges—a freedom to help those around you because you no longer need to help yourself.
The value of money is measured in the hands of those who hold it. To a beggar, a hundred is a lot; to a millionaire, a hundred is a little. A billionaire can save hundreds of thousands of lives simply by giving food, medicine, and shelter to those who have none. How many lives can the poor save?

With effort, poverty is fleeting.
Everyone’s path to life is hidden: the rich are born without knowing their wealth, just as the poor are born without knowing their poverty. While you may think that the struggles you are facing right now are undeserved, know that they are simply impermanent and temporary. An empire will fall so that greater empires can be created from its ashes; a life will crumble so that a greater future can be built from its pieces. Find peace in knowing that the darkest moments of your life are merely prerequisites for the life of Abundance you are meant to have.
