What is money to you?

What comes to your mind when you have a lotta money? How does money affects your thought and vision? What is money to you?

Try to answer that question first… then this one.

What if so in a sudden it (all of money you have) was gone and you were having a very surprising circumstances of being poverty? What will you do?

Recently I join forex trading. I just really realized that money can thrive and multiply quickly and in the other hand vanish in a matter of minutes. One time I can feel so happy because suddenly I got quite a lot of money in just an hour. Then one time I can feel desperately stressed out because what I expected wasn’t happened that time and it caused a deprivation, and confused whether I should cut it loss immediately to limit losses or wait until it reverse it’s direction as I expected but it’s kinda gambling (is it really going to turn around or even getting bigger loss).

Then what is all about….. Well, does money become your priority in your life? Because if it is, then you know that it can be gone in a matter of time, in a minute, or an hour that you may not expect. Yes we need money for living, but don’t make it as your first priority, your ambition, and the only thing you pursue. Because once it’s gone, you don’t know what you gonna do next.

Money isn’t an eternal thing. When you buy a good car that you want so much with your money then you will have such an euphoria for just a moment then you will get used to it. When you buy a branded goods, people will think that you’re a rich people but when your money fades away and you cant afford your branded goods then people won’t praise you anymore. When you buy an expensively delicious food, then it will end in a closet too.

All these things are some things you can’t hold on, because you will just enjoy it for a while, then….? And when you suddenly can’t enjoy it, then….?

Hold on to the things that are eternal. Have a vision and do something that will not last and vanish just like money does. Because there’re so many thing that money can’t buy, so many things that bring you a truly happiness that money can’t afford.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Matthew 6:19-21,24
