Wealth And Guilt Are Not Equal
May 9th, 2008First, some definitions:
Wealth:
1. large amount of money
2. state of having much money
3. abundance of something
4. value of assets
Guilt:
1. awareness of wrongdoing
2. fact of wrongdoing
3. responsibility for wrongdoing
(Encarta Dictionary)
You’ll notice that these two are in no way related by definition. There is nothing in the definition of wealth that mentions guilt or wrongdoing. Wealth is not defined as the result of having done something wrong.
Guilt is in no way related to money. Guilt can be an awareness, fact or responsibility of wrongdoing, but that wrongdoing has nothing to do with money. Admittedly, wrongdoing could be the result of something done with money, but it is not money that produces wrongdoing or the emotion or fact of guilt—it is what the person chooses to do with said money.
Then Why Do People Feel Guilty About Building Wealth?
This is one of the most perplexing questions in wealth creation. This is an issue Jamie McIntyre faces with almost every newcomer to the 21st Century Academy. And it is one of the first issues Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy address. First, because the perception that you should feel guilty about building wealth or being wealthy has no basis, and second because perpetuating that attitude is a definite roadblock to wealth creation.
The attitude is also extremely common. Most people harbor some feeling of guilt which they associate with being wealthy. They think that somehow having money will mean that someone else is suffering when in fact, your having money simply means you can do better for you and yours and also those whom you choose to employ or assist.
There Is No Limit To Wealth
There is no limit to the wealth in the world. This is another of the core lessons of the 21st Century Academy that Jamie McIntyre works to convey early on. Why? Because if you understand this and see that it is true (which you will once Jamie McIntyre & the 21st Century Academy show you how money systems work), you remove the cause of your guilt. And once you’ve done that, you are one big step closer to financial success.
