WORK AND MONEY IS RELATIVE

In the Philippines, most of the time, you will see beggars who are on the streets. Trying to catch your attention so that you may recognize them and give them something - it may be money or food. Then after you gave the money, it came to your mind that “oh wait a minute, maybe I should not gave them the money because they will just buy solvent, drugs or junk foods”. Or maybe at the back of your mind, you may also think that “geez, maybe I should stop giving to these beggars because I’m just tolerating these syndicates to abuse these weaklings”.  You may also see people or - I think this would be the best examples – your love ones that keep on complaining about their job or the money they earn. You may also saw people on the depressed area who were just drunk, every time you’ll see them.

On the other hand, you’ll see people who were happy about their financials and career or people you are inspired of. The above scenarios will give us the different views about work and money.

This article would help us to have a better philosophy to believe on despite of the many philosophies that were available in the market, the philosophies you've just heard with people who do not know what are they talking about or philosophies of your parents or spouse who were controlling you for they were not convinced that you are not matured enough to handle yourself.

Now, let us discuss where money came from. Money is may be a gratuitous title (gift) or an onerous entitlement (something is given in exhange of). 

I will not go deeply money as a gift but rather focus on as a onerous entitlement. Adult life, or life after school means that you are now responsible to earn your own money to either support your family or to buy things you want in life. But, we all know that Money comes from WORK. 

Just to note, when I say work it is not limited only to employment system but it may include your active engagement in your business and monitoring you stocks if you are an investor in that manner. 

Money seems be related with the kind of your work you are doing. Yes, indeed, a lousy work from your business, craft, monitoring your stocks, performance in your job may be a reason that you are not getting your financial goals. Always remember that in life, what we sow is what we will reap. That principle is very evidently manifested to the lives of the people we are close to us who are achieving financial success or to the people . You can never expect a good harvest if you have not been a good and skillful sower.

Thus, it was also being emphasized in the scriptures that "A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, And the deeds of a man's hands will return to him." Proverbs 12:14.

There is no problem with the business person or with the investor side for these people know what they are doing and they are guided by their visions toward the business.

But if you are an employee and you are not satisfied, happy or you are being harassed by your boss, I will tell you now to quit to that job. Yes! quit that job and seek for other opportunity. There are a lot of opportunity out there in the field you just need to hone your skills while you are at work.

If ever you are an employee who are having a hard time in the company you are in now, I do suggest that bear this great philosophy in Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,". Your hard time may be caused by your boss' treatment towards you or in the unfair distribution of work load in your department but whatever the reason may be just bear in mind that the blessor of your work is God because he is the one who blesses you.

Now, I will speak now for the people who wants more to life. In order to be rich financially, you must aim to leverage your time, money and effort of course through business or investments. There is no other system that will advance you to your financial goals other than the systems used by the rich people.

Indeed! money is the result or the fruits from what quality you worked for or on what system you are working on - singleness system or leverage system. It is just a matter of having the right attitude , patience and faith towards on what you worked for

Lastly, I would just make a personal opinion about the beggars mentioned above. In the Philippines, you would not imagine that it is argued whether or not it is right to give alms to the beggars.

I will frankly say, YES! IT IS ONLY RIGHT TO GIVE THEM! WHY? IS IT PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE WORKING?? TRY TO BE IN THEIR SHOES. AND WORK LIKE A BEGGAR. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FACE PEOPLE TO ASK FOR ALMS AND WEARING RIPPED OFF DRESSES OR SHIRTS. They are using the ONLY resources they have. It is only a representation that if you will not study, be smart or be a worker, you might end up being one of them.

How about you? Are you against in my opinion? Are you working for money or money works for you? Do you hate what you are working on at this moment? Share your ideas by leaving a comment below.
