That the old saying… “Money is the Root of all Evil” .. is not true.

The Truth is .. “The Lack of Money is the Root of all Evil”.

It does kind of make sense if you think about it. It’s safe to say people rob banks because they need money, other wise why would they? More…People rob convenience stores because they need money.

Of course it’s a funny quip from Gene, what makes Gene, well.. Gene.

Naturally not every one feels the need to steal, cheat and rob to grab their loot, though the news would have you think differently. Although the lack of money can be the cause of many problems. It’s sad that so many family problems actually stem from lack of cash.

Many would say money is not everything and we should live our lives instead of money or letting money control us in such ways. Although I agree somewhat, last I checked it’s pretty tough to live without money, unless you want to live on the street, not knowing where your next meal will come from. Money drama aside, the electric bill still has to be paid, the gas company only waits so long before they shut you off and the landlord will kick you and your “stuff” to the curb if you don’t pay the bills.

I agree money isn’t everything but as Anthony Robbins said “At least you can show up to your problems ins Style”.

Am I going anywhere with this post? Sure I am… always right?

It’s a fact of life you can’t live without money, unless your still at home with mom and dad. Instead of letting the lack of cash get you down, cause fights with your spouse over bills or make you miserable, use that same “problem” as motivation to do something about your financial situation.

It’s exactly what I did. I got myself to the point that I was so tired of not making enough money. So sick and tired of only getting paid a hourly wage. Using it all to drive me to make it work, no matter what. It was a huge turning point over 9 years ago.

I hate to quote the same person in one sitting but you could also go by what else Anthony Robbins talks about with pain and pleasure. Basically he states that we do more to avoid pain then we do to gain pleasure. In this instance we will usually work harder to avoid the possible or percieved pain of starting our own business ( possible failure probably the biggest reason), than the pleasure of the extra money we could make, if we did go for the gold.

Make sense? I sure hope it does to you. It took me many years to see the light. There is another slight twist. There could come a time when so much pain, as in the lack of money and what comes with it, becomes enough to over power the brain and the opposite comes to light.
Okay, Okay I guess I should also confess, Gene really didn’t talk to me personally, though I do love his show. And oddly I do like his quote…:)

Maybe he’s using some of that Joe Vitale Hypnotic Writing?
