​​''Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.''

​                          - Nelson Mandela


​Let's just get one thing straight right now: money isn't evil.
People who have money aren't evil.
In fact, having money is FANTASTIC!
As Mr Mandela points out in the glorious quote above:
success is born from having the freedom to create and spend money.


Money is a tool. nothing more.
It just happens to be the tool our society uses to exchange goods and services.
If you want a healthy, happy life: use money. 
Nothing good or bad about it.
As the world stands at the moment, this is how it is.

Now, there are people who would disagree with me, and that's great. 

There are those who choose to live with no money, and live very happily.
And there are those are forced to live without much money,
but still live incredibly fulfilling lives.

As i said: Money is a tool. You can choose to use it, or not.
Just like choosing to use ''10 thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife'' (said alanis morissette)
In my eyes,
money just makes things easier.

We have this consciousness around money that it should ''play hard to get''.
Work should be difficult and unfulfilling. We shouldn't want to get up in the morning to go.
We should scrimp and save to buy our much wanted luxuries.
I want to show you, here and now, that all this is far from the truth.

if it is the truth, that's only because enough people believe it to be true.
If we change our thoughts around work and money, then
we will find joy in every hour at work, and in
every exchange of money for goods and services.

Wouldn't you rather live in a world
where money is not the enemy,
but can be used consciously
to create a better world
​for everyone and everything?
