Every day we wake up and run behind the green paper. We spend all our life just to earn it. Whether we like it or not, Money rules the world and we are all hamsters spinning the wheel. Our system is very well designed to wreck things up for people who don’t own money and so our race continues. We run and run in a vicious cycle like a battery. Just when you thought you have enough, you need to recharge again. Does this cycle end?

Money is the physical form of human greed. We, humans, greed too much on too many things. Our greed is what runs us. That greed could be anything from owning a fancy car to personal freedom or an idea of a better future. It is humorous and yet powerful to see that lifeless green colored paper-Money is running all of us by our greed.

The question is what does money hold. Money holds the actions of our future. What am I going to buy? Who am I going to meet? Where am I going to travel? It holds the answer to all the questions of our future. We all want a better future. Don’t We? So, we earn and earn just to have a better future or at least to have an idea of how we would be in time. The reality is nobody knows the future and in short, we work hard for it and don’t realize that our clock is running out. So, How does one break free from the cycle of greed?

You break the diamond by the diamond. You break greed by greed. We can’t live without greed and so we can’t live without money either. Humanity without greed is no progress. We can however turn greed into our flow. We can use the money to our advantage and make progress with it. The answer lies within you. Don’t just go behind the numbers in your bank account. Look for value and the things you can do while you run behind the green paper. Greed on things that you love to do while you earn money. That is when things become interesting. You will find a new meaning in your life. Life with a sense of pursuit.

Greed on things that you love to do while you run behind money.

The green paper is a marvelous thing and it is also dangerous enough to ruin us by overpowering our greed. Don’t get trapped into a rat race of just earning and spending and eventually dying. whilst you live on this earth, live with a sense of pursuit. Do something that you love and adore while you run behind money. That is when we rule money and break the cycle.
