The Meaning of Money
Prosperity is an attitude about life. Some people think of prosperity only in terms of money. Prosperity is success. What you want to achieve is what you value. What you value is where your money should flow. Do you value honesty, reputation, nature, art, power, wealth, freedom, security, wisdom…?

In 560 B.C.E. Croesus, king of Lydia, began the widespread standardized use of coins for commerce. Before this, people traded goods and services as a matter of survival. People were a community. Money changed this. Relationships were not necessary to meet ones needs. Cold hard coins do not represent survival. Their accumulation represents wealth. What people valued started to change.

Today, practically every major decision we make is influenced by money. Some people even marry, not for love, but for money. Even though humans created money, we really do not understand its meaning. For the sake of prosperity, please take the time to evaluate your relationship to money.
