The opportunity


When I think about money and what it does to people I notice I don't want it..
Money is only good when it's spent on a purpose.
Your nails no!
Your hair no! 
Your everyday trips to McDonalds no! But, money is suppose to be spent on something useful, something beneficial
Opportunity doesn't come often so when it does take it
Money is an opportunity.... This 1,000 dollars is an opportunity.
College is an opportunity and a purpose
It is "A purpose"
If not a purpose to further my education than a purpose to be better than I ever been before... 
So when I think about money and what it does to people I think about the purpose of what the money was for...!!
Do you have a purpose?? Or do you just want the money?? 
I have a purpose!!! 
My hands crave to help people, My mind is set up to read people, my ears are here to listen to listen to the heartbeats of those suffering and my eyes are open to see the faces of those recovering...
Everyone has a purpose in life,
Mine is to become a nurse! 
So when I think about money and what it does to people  think about what it has done and will do for me....
This 1,000 dollars is an opportunity
