Do Your Goals Include Money?

You have probably heard the quote, “Money is the root of all evil.” Yet, money is a requirement to live from day to day. If you have created a list of goals for 2016, at least one probably concerns money. Does that make you evil?

For 99.9% of us, more money is better, and not evil. Money is just a tool to simplify transactions. Evil comes from greed, abuse, or misuse.

How can we embrace more, and not be tempted by greed? I think it is simply using money for the good of others. I made a list of things that money provides me. Here is my list, how would yours be different? For me, money provides security, comfort, motivation, generosity, and the fulfillment of dreams.

I have created a financial goal for 2016. I hope you have as well. I view my goal as good. It is not about the amount, but about what I can do based on my results. It is not just about my family. It is about the world that I can influence and touch.

I encourage you to review your goals. Set your target higher. Dream bigger. Earn more money. It is not evil. It is a tool for you to help others. I wish you a great, prosperous, and generous 2016.
