The master is you!

Authors: SequoiaThey say, if you want to obtain informations and be knowleagable enough for you to be able to live your life wisely. You just need these three specific things.
The first one is to gain learnings through your personal experiences. Of course, nothing beats the lessons that we get when we are involve right?
Second, learn from the experiences of other people. Aside from ours, we have to admit the fact that learning from other people also help us lot. By that, there will be things that we will be fully aware of, because someone already have gone through it.
The last but definitely not the least is, read multiple various types of books. Reading is power. Most of the wise people I know were a product of the books that they are reading. Bookish people will often say that you will never be the same after you read a whole book. You will see yourself changing. Because, reading good books truly transforms people. And I, believe in that as well.

I am not the bookworm type. In fact, I hate reading a book before. I find it really boring and nonsense (poor lil me). Well, I guess that's normal right? We have different taste and likes. There are people who are a natural bookaholic. I don't know, but maybe they have library in their mother's tummy while they were still inside? Lol. Just kidding.
Up until now, I would be honest, I still don't like reading a book. However, I have a great love in collecting books and sniffing its scents. I just love its smells. I don't really know why. I think,in my 21 years of living in this world, I was only able to finish 2 books. And it took me 3 months each before I finished it. See?
However, I am a fan of reading wattpad stories and I guess, that's valid right? Hahaha. To make it clear, I only read love stories ebooks. So, the learnings isn't that really big.
But things began to change when I reach adulthood. I am starting to develope affection towards informative books. Specially, if it is about financial management or money. I wanted to buy books that tackles about such topics but I can't seem to find what I really wanted.
Not until, my long time friend(who happens to be a financial coach right now at a very young age), message me and asked me if I want to have a copy of Money Master the Game by Tony Robbins ebook. Well, what do you expect? Of course, I didn't let it slip. I accepted it and only started reading last night.
I only read few pages of the book and I must admit that it's really a good book.

Money is a good servant, but a bad master.
-Sir Francis Bacon
This phrase welcomed me and caught my attention and interest. We cannot deny the reality that money is much needed in our day to day life basis. We need it to buy foods, pay bills, buy our wants, and live the life that we dream of. Am I right? And that just clearly shows how essential the money is.
We are so focus in earning more money that we fail to realized that it's already taking its place to our hearts. In short, we are allowing money to creep in to our inner core and allow it to control us. We are starting to treat money as our master already and we became its servants. Don't believe me? Then, why are we sacrificing ourselves just to earn it? Why do we go crazy when we hear this word? Why do people intentionaly hurt others just to have this?
People are starting to worship money through doing what it takes just to have it. And that includes, risking our own physical, mental , emotional , and other aspects of health.
We are so busy in working for the money that we often forgot that money should be the one working for us.
We should master the money, not the other way around.
Remember that money is just a tool for us to be able to do the things that we want and live the life that we dream.
It isn't everything. But money is certainly one of the ways we can turn the dreams we have into the reality we live.
Now, for some clarifications. I am not against money. I do need it. In fact, I'll be happy if I have a lot of it. What I am trying to say is that, we should learn how to utilize it properly and never forget it's real position.
Yes, money is life.
But You are lifer.
Never let money go above you.
