I've been dreaming of business ideas. Not dreaming like a dreamer, but the crazy actual details of how and where and what. The details of workable plans. Although my sleep is not all that high quality, I do enjoy these dreams. The hope of possibilities so far unseen.
So I am a rich man now.... Or i would be if i had money.
The old adage 'it takes money to make money' screams at me louder than ever.
We are taught that the love of money is bad. I agree. Why love money? What money can do, allow you to do, for yourself and others, is what excites me.
You cant get there by being afraid of risk.
The bible says in The Parable of the Ten Minas Luke 19
21"Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.'This tells me that one needs to be smart, do your homework, and then ACT!22"His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?'
24"Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.'
25" 'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!'
26"He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away."
I shoulda, coulda, and woulda, makes me end up with nothing.
Its foolish to rely on anyone else, whether it be the government, parents, or children. My responsibility is my own.
Perhaps i will take a risk and it will backfire. But an educated risk, failing will make me happier than a safe savings not being sufficient.
If there was a real safe savings plan that was sufficient there would be no money problems in the world.
There go my ramblings of the day.
