Money isn't bad, but greed will destroy you - in your personal or business life.
Talking Points:
- Greed will make you jealous because you’ll always compare yourself to others – and someone else will always have more than you.
- If you’re a greedy person, you’ll eventually end up lying and cheating to get more for yourself.
- A jealous, dishonest person will only have relationships with people who can help you get more, and those relationships are always shallow.
- Greed makes you lose sight of your true mission in life or business because your focus is on yourself and your money.
- At the end of the day, you’ll never be satisfied with life if your heart is full of greed because if your goal is always to have more, you’ll never get there.
