Money is a mathematical measure of a person’s earthly influence.
Wealth is commonly vilified by those who have never encountered it. Many people go through life believing that the pursuit of money is the cause of all evil – giving up on the fact that often money can solve life’s most heartbreaking tribulations.
Is the money a mother uses to care for her bad 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?
Money’s choice of good or evil is decided by those who use it.
Money has no feeling, no voice, no soul. When you are hungry, you 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 feeding and living.
Pursue a life of Abundance.
This planet is rich enough for all people in all places to live in the joys of abundance. A life of Abundance is a life filled to the brim, overflowing at 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. For a beggar, a hundred is a lot; for a millionaire, a hundred is not much. A billionaire can save hundreds of thousands of lives simply by providing food, medicine and shelter to those who don’t have anything. How many lives can the poor save?

With effort, poverty is ephemeral.
The path of everyone’s life is hidden: the rich are born without knowing their wealth, just like the poor and their poverty. Although you may think that the struggles you face 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 fall apart so that a greater future can be built with its pieces. Find peace knowing that the darkest moments of your life are just prerequisites for the life of Abundance you are meant to have.
