You want
it, you need it and you can’t live without it. These days when you turn your
radio all you hear are songs about it. When you keep your mind on your money
and money that you don’t have on your mind, there is one thing that you’ll have
for sure - stress. Do you know what’s next door to stress? Say hello to bad
mind. This is simply because it seems like we can’t get anywhere without this
thing called money. We need money to
make money, like to start a business. Or to support our habits, like being hype
and keeping up appearances.
Hatred
and envy are by-products of these dollars and cents. Real medz! Persons are no
longer complacent when they realize they can’t afford to satisfy their wants in
comparison with other persons. Some people start of by thinking “what can I do
to make some more money?” some persons come up with successful ideas while
others aren’t so lucky. Some people skip that step entirely. Bad mind takes
over instantly and the next thing you know, they decide to kill and rob other
persons for their earned possessions. Madness, right! I mean, it’s not like its
their fault why these persons are suffering, broke or greedy. Furthermore,
these “ole criminals” did work for these possessions so why do they believe
they have the right to enjoy them? People go as far as linking a “Obeah man”
just because they have bad mind. If you have a bad mind friend, “tell dem fi
stop it cuz dem nuh knw how a next person get dem things”
If
you’re suffering from LMD (Lack of Money Disorder), stress is usually the
another result. Some people can’t eat, sleep or breathe without money. Its like
their whole life has come to a halt. If we don’t have money we can’t buy food,
we can’t pay rent or utilities. When NWC will give you a chance, you know you
can’t chat to JPS. So if you have no money at all your goose is cooked. It’s
not like we can live under mango trees by the river side and rely on solar
energy. We’re living in modern times. So we hustle to make ends meet. When it
doesn’t, stress is our natural response . . . because there are certain things
we just can’t imagine living without. Don’t let money stress you, if you don’t
have it, you just don’t have it and that’s reality. What god will money be to
you if stress causes your blood vessel to burse in your head and you die?
On the
other hand, even when persons have enough money to satisfy their needs they
allow the lack of its abundance to stress them out. A lot of persons put their
hat where their hands can’t reach just to keep up appearances. Why do persons
put themselves through situations? Do the lack the capacity to think logically?
Maybe they just don’t care. Moreover, half the time when persons do this, they
don’t do it to impress their friends, they do it to show off on their haters.
Should you’re haters opinions of you be so important that they are the reason
you wake up with stress, depression, high blood pressure and no money to take
care of your business? Persons should learn to live within their means and not
in the shadows of others.
Money only possesses the value you give it.
Some things just aren’t worth it.
