015: Be a role model, not a show doll

Be a role model, not a show doll

You can be someone other people look up to without being glamorous about it. You don’t need to sell your attitude and accomplishments for the sake of publicity. You can secretly keep being a great role model for each person following your path so he/she can apply the things you share with them enriching their life. No need to become fancy about yourself.

Money does not care about you. Why do you care so much about it that you are afraid to lose it (as if it was a human person)? You are putting money on the podium. You want to start praying to it and treat like a Messiah?

Money is what you make out of it. Money can drive you when you want to reach a certain amount to invest into a particular thing. Money can drive you crazy if you enter a stage where you feel controlled by money. But you cannot be controlled by money.

Money does not exist as much as it does exist. When you think money is controlling you or people tell you that, you have a problem with yourself, not with money. You somehow related money to something you now blame to control you. Money is neither good nor bad.
