RE: Money : a blessing or a curse
Very deep thoughts. I get frustrated when people say money is the root of all evil. That is a bad quote. The quote is money is the root of all kinds of evil. I like your three perspectives on money. Good work
Actually the scripture is, 1 Timothy 6:10
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows
It is amazing. The Bible is so right. Either way it is about what we make it. Money...just is...if we love it or hate it or what we do with it..is what it becomes.
Yeah, money as a thing is a tool that most of us don't know how to weild.
Yeah I agree @freedompoint . I am already making money outside of Steemit and have for almost a decade. I am new here. I think Steemit is a game changer and will be for many, many people. However, I think if you approach Steemit as a typical business ( online and offline one) it will NOT be a game changer for you ( not you but using it in general sense ). I am in here to contribute and add to the Community. I know over time the results will be there. But I am NOT pursuing it like my regular Online Business where I am steadily doing things each and everyday to affect my bottom line and maximize my profits. Here at Steemit it seems you have to be more subtle and get involved with it from a social angle. And the money will eventually take care of itself over time if you personally commit to it !!
Yeah, I don't view it like a business, but an opportunity. I am sure there are people that do work Steemit like a job, but even treating it like a fun hobby may still pay out. I suppose it would come from the individuals perspective. I have an opportunity to share my art and my perspective, and it has already changed my world. 🙃
Good way to look at it...more of an "Opportunity" than a "Business". I like that
