Just a few minutes ago I was thinking about the killings in the world. How people take their hard earned money to sponsor wars. the same money that homeless kids are looking for so they can have something to eat.
Man is wicked Enough to kill destroy himself
do you know we live in a world where people spend millions to buy guns and give to less educated people to go kill others for no reason or for not believing in what they believe.
that is what happens when money gets into the hands of wrong people.
it's so true that money amplifies a man's character and thoughts. If you've been thinking about intimidating your neighbor, when you get some free money, that is exactly what you'll do. you'll start living a life that seeks to get their attention.
If your thoughts and desire have been to change the world, it will show in what you do with the little money you have currently.
I remember what said when he first came to uyo for our meetup. He said the first set of good payouts on Steemit was used to print fliers for a steem Reachout in Port Harcourt. He just wanted to change a life with steem and he did with the little he had then.
Now that is what I call success. Your success is not determined by how much you've made, your success is determined by how much life you've changed.
What you do with the little you're getting now is what you're going to do when your earnings increases.
When was earning little, he printed little fliers and started street storms, when his earnings increased, he started setting up hubs for Nigerians to use for free. money amplifies a man's thoughts and character.
I live in a country where some unknown rich folks sponsor Boko Haram killings. They basically take money, buy guns and give to these guys so they could go around killing people for now reason.
I get really annoyed when I see good people lazy. one of the reasons why we'll keep having more evil around us is because the rich good folks just fold their hands and do nothing, they don't even try to help others grow.
The second reason is poverty: no matter how good you are, you won't be able to do anything about your good plans when you're broke.
This is why you need to refuse to be poor and seek to be big enough to help others.
One of the most selfish thoughts generating statements I've heard is
me, myself and I
These statements and pattern of thought have made some people selfish beyond measure. Although it helps some people to realize that they need to stop depending on others, but it has rather made many selfish.
Here's the truth, you can't have good ideas when you're selfish when all you care about is you and you only. you can't get good opportunities when you're selfish.
How did we have Facebook? it came because someone thought of how to help people connect with their friends and families. Although Facebook has many selfish benefits, their desire to help people connect brought wealth to them.
Same with steemit, steemit is taking advantage of the selfish nature of some popular social networks. steemit is giving back to the people and as a result, the steem blockchain has changed lots of lives including mine.
You can't solve a problem when you don't think about others. When you don't solve problems, you won't have money because every problem came packaged with its solution and gold in it.
Money gravitates towards those who care and have strong desire and zeal to change this world.
So stop thinking about yourself, start thinking about others. Don't close your eyes to the problems and challenges around you. Inside those problems lies your wealth.
Be big enough to help others!
