Thought Tweet #361 MONEY - what's it mean? It means freedom; and if you earned the money then it may also mean self-discipline.
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
The other day, a discussion of that question arose during one of our meetings. It seems to me money is a major thing in our society. Almost everybody wants more of it. Most people want things that money can buy more than they want the money itself. Some people want the money itself…stored away somewhere as security. Some other folks spend money before they get it. It seems to me money means freedom. Certainly, if you believe you have more money than you need then money brings freedom. If you have more money than you need you have choices: keeping it in a secure place, buying stuff, giving it away, working, playing, learning...whatever you choose.
