Money is NOT the root of all evil.....

Many people hold themselves back in achieving their financial goals because of a belief they have learnt from others from the Bible that 'Money is the root of all evil', this has been misquoted from the Bible which actually reads 'For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains'. 

Now I don't want this post to turn into a religious debate because that is not what it is about, this passage says 'the love of money' which I take to mean some people having money for moneys sake, 'all kinds of evil' is very vague and begs the question 'what sorts of evil?' and the last bit is just some, so not for all then...

It is a shame this part of the bible seems to have been misquoted by some, possibly to support their own beliefs and this as I said at the beginning holds them back or stops them completely from having the life they really want. Now I want to be rich and I have many things I want to to with that wealth including being a philanthropist and helping other people out. To help others out though I believe we have to be stable in our own lives to do that, mentally (happy) as well as financially it's a bit like if you were on  an aeroplane that was crashing and had a child with you when the oxygen masks drop....you need to help yourself before others.

So if you are working to create wealth for yourself and others and next time someone says to you 'Money is the root of all evil' don't listen to their mistaken belief and correct them...


There are others and I'm inclined to agree with them that 'The lack of money is the root of all evil' 

I think though that just maybe, some people are just evil and it has nothing to do with money at all!



To your success
