Understanding How Money Works

I believe in miracles and the supernatural realm, so I’d never want to minimize possibility of anything occurring with divine assistance.  However, just in case money doesn’t fall out of the sky or mystically appears in your bank account or on your nightstand, here’s the guaranteed way that you’ll increase your pocketbook.

Money = Ideas + Audacity + Satisfying others

Now before you close the book thinking this is just another philosophical or theoretical punch line, hear me out. 

Money is generated by being thoughtful, inquisitive, and imaginative.  But with that you need audacity, fervor, and motivation to act on your ideas.  The only way to materialize what’s in your mind to this physical plane is with audacious action.  And to wrap it all together, your ideas and audacity to act must be in the best interest of someone else.  That is, who will give you money in exchange for you satisfying their proverbial or unconscious want or need?

There is not a single person on this plant who has no wants and needs.  We’re human.  Of course we want more than what we need and we want MORE of what we want.  It’s a never ending cycle.    From something as small as how to keep dust from piling up on the bookshelf to how to efficiently relocate to another country.

Money, like the kind we use today, has been around for thousands of years. At first, it was mostly in the form of coins, but now we mostly use paper bills. The money we use now isn’t really worth anything by itself – you can’t eat it or use it for much. But that’s what makes it modern – we all agree it has value and can use it to buy stuff.

People in China might have started using paper as money way back in 1000 BC, but it took a while for everyone to trust that paper was worth something real. Nowadays, our money is printed on paper in different amounts, and we also have coins for smaller amounts.

It is a tangible tool as much as it is ethereal.
