Making Money With A Purpose

Thinking of money lately, I am more and more inclined to assimilate it with a type of energy. There are so many resemblances yet so many confusion regarding this topic, and that’s because money is such an obsession in modern society. In this post I’ll use a simple analogy to explain why I think people don’t get enough money, what is happening when they get more money they could handle, and how to let into your life a wider flow of money. For a quick introduction of this concept, you can read first the article about money and you.

Behind all of this is electricity, which is a form of energy. And behind its usage, is you, with a purpose: of making light, or warmth, or interact with information.

Have you tried to use electricity directly? By literally putting your fingers into a power outlet? Unless you have serious integration problems or you’re less than 3 year old (in which case you’re not even able to read this), I bet you never wanted to do something like this. Why? Because interacting directly with a source of energy is highly dangerous for your physical body. You can have serious negative health effects if you try to manipulate electricity directly. But when you use it with a purpose – other than direct interaction – like producing light or warmth, electricity serves you well. (more…)
