What is the difference between Money Conscious and Money Driven?
Let me inform you of a “great fact” … The Fact is that There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between being Money Conscious and Money Driven. This should ease your mind when it comes to losing compassion while obtaining material riches in this secular lifetime.
Let us take a look at the definitions of ‘Conscious” as well as “Driven” so we do in fact have some facts to base this upon:
DEFINE: Conscious:
intentionally conceived; “a conscious effort to speak more slowly”; “a conscious policy” knowing and perceiving; having awareness of surroundings and sensations and thoughts; “remained conscious during the operation”; “conscious of his faults”; “became conscious that he was being followed”
DEFINE: Driven:
compelled forcibly by an outside agency; “mobs goaded by blind hatred” urged or forced to action through moral pressure; “felt impelled to take a stand against the issue” compulsive: strongly motivated to succeed
NOW THESE TWO DEFINITIONS …
… speak multitudes of enlightenment to me:
1. Consciousness is simply being “aware” … and …
2. Driven is in fact taking it a step further with the “consciousness” (if you may) depending upon “morals”, “strong force”, and “compulsion”.
I’ve been listening to “Think and Grow Rich” audios over and over again for the past few months and Napoleon Hill speaks of such thing as “Money Conscious” and goes on to state it is crucial to one’s success. This is in fact what made me research these terms and dig a little deeper, because …
“I am not Money Driven”, was the first thing I though to myself. “I am Passionately Driven to Help Others” … That’s when I discovered that these terms, “Conscious” and “Driven” are two entirely different entities.
Napoleon Hill said that “One must be money conscious”, but HE DID NOT SAY, “Money Driven” … This leads me to this conclusion:
In business or whatever you choose to do in life, its crucial to be conscious of “what you want in terms of material possessions” and it is crucial “to see yourself obtaining those riches” however you must have a DEEPER, inner, impelled, compulsive desire based off of your morals for helping others or fulfilling some deeper passionate purpose OVER the “consciousness” of acquiring money.
