One of the most disempowering beliefs that the Truly Rich Club Cebu wants to help change in most Filipino’s is this:
“Money is the root of all evil”
Yes, this is quite a controversial topic and quite frankly I few years ago I used to believe that this traditional belief is true.
I can’t really remember where I got this belief, but deep in my heart I was convinced that this belief was true. I think the most common place that I got this belief was either from my school teacher, my parents, my grandparents, or from church.
This is a very common belief especially among Filipino Christians who were taught that money is evil. That having too much money means you are not loved by God, therefore keeping many Filipinos trapped on an invisible prison saying I’d rather be poor than be rich and go to hell.
This belief is so embedded in our Filipino culture that it is widely used in almost all Telenovelas shown in Philippine TV. Most Telenovelas involves a poor person that is abused by rich people and suffers for the rest of his entire life.
Even back on the days of Fernado Poe Jr. (FPJ), the rich that were shown were always related as bad people. I remember the picture of Max Albarado (FPJ’s common arch enemy) wearing expensive-looking robs, with sexy women around, and goons carrying guns, wherein they terrorize FPJ life and family.
But I believe that it is time to stop this cycle of disempowering belief, for the real and accurate belief is:
“The lack of Money is the root of all evil”
Please let this belief sink in for a while. To many of you, the above belief has been so long in your system that changing it goes beyond your entire existence. But think with me for a while and let’s together investigate.
What is the main reason of the many crimes in our country today? Is it pure evil or just the lack of money?
I will give you time to think about it.
See you in my next post. To being truly rich in life and wealth.
