Is it morally wrong to attempt to become wealthy?


It's no surprise to me that the Million Dollar Experiment Authentic Jordan Weal Jersey , while mostly getting a highly positive reception, has also uncovered some opposition from people who believe the pursuit of financial wealth is inherently greedy, selfish, immoral Authentic Brian Elliott Jersey , or just plain evil.


How do you feel about the whole idea of having more money than you need? A lot more. Excess cash. Does that concept excite you or make you feel uncomfortable? Is is attractive or repulsive? A mixture of both perhaps? Do you feel you'd have to compromise your integrity in order to achieve this goal?


What about earning money very quickly? A fast turnover. Making a quick buck. Does that raise some level of indignation within you?


If a friend were to say to you, ?You know what. I'm going to go ahead and become rich,? how would you react? Would you assume this person has become a 'sell out? or is about to compromise their integrity? Would you ridicule them for even setting this goal? How would you feel after they achieved the goal? How would you feel if they failed and gave up?


Isn't it interesting to witness the complex feelings that arise when we examine our beliefs about money? Notice that I haven't even addressed the actual process of acquiring money in any of these situations, merely the notion of wealth itself.


What role does intention play in the pursuit of wealth? Is the very idea of intending to be wealthy inherently evil Authentic James Van Riemsdyk Jersey , corrupt, or somehow wrong? Or can one become wealthy and still have integrity?


The level of ?good? or ?evil? you associate to money comes from your own beliefs and intentions, not from any innate quality that money possesses. By itself money is neutral and powerless. Your own thoughts will serve to define the role of money in your life.


If money or wealth are somehow connected with evil, greed Authentic Scott Laughton Jersey , or selfishness in your mind, imagine what effect that will have on your financial decisions. Sounds like a good way of preventing yourself from ever becoming wealthy, doesn't it? Is that a choice you've made consciously? Do you feel it's the right one?


It isn't money or the pursuit of money that has any moral connection ? you might as well be collecting rocks, beads Authentic Sean Couturier Jersey , or sea shells. It's the energy you bring to money that matters. Money will play the role in your life that you intend it to play, and that intention will largely arise from your pre-conditioned beliefs. If you've been conditioned to associate negative qualities to money (especially through your upbringing), then money will play a largely negative role in your life. If you associate positive beliefs to money, then it will play a positive role.


But most likely you have mixed associations to money because socially conditioned beliefs are inherently incongruent ? it's a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. Your concept of money develops mixed associations to both good and evil. You want more money for yourself Authentic Travis Konecny Jersey , but not too much more. You step towards greater wealth and then back away from it. You dance around money for fear it might be dangerous to acquire too much of it, but then when scarcity overwhelms you, you think of little else. Eventually you figure you're better off thinking about money as little as possible.


Been there, done that. It's all so much nonsense.


Your money will derive its energy from you Authentic Ivan Provorov Jersey , from who you are as a person. Greater and greater wealth will simply squeeze out more of who you already are. If what's inside you is good and noble and of high integrity, that's what will come out. But if what's inside you is fearful and uncertain, then fear and uncertainty will come out.


If you feel good about yourself, your thoughts Authentic Jakub Voracek Jersey , and your behavior, then having more money will only enhance those positive feelings and help you spread them to others.
