Ever feel like you can do more with more?  More=better quality?  While it is true that there is a value on everything and that the priciest things are those most often desired; it is equally true that quantity isn't always a replace for quality.  Don't get me wrong, everyone desires more money and I am one of them.  Having an abundance of financial resources is great in the right timing and under the right conditions.  It's a matter of perception.

Some people view quantities of money as a form of freedom, an assurance of never suffering and always having what one desires and if you view money in that fashion, it is possible to gain the quantity and never have the quality of life.  Not one thing in huge quantities can ever replace quality.  NOT ONE THING!  No large quantities of religion, money, time, power, knowledge or anything can replace quantity.

There are people who spend time, hours praying, and hours in church, hours studying and still never have a relationship with the God to whom they pray.   Some people may what others only dream to make yet we see movie stars and singers all the time spending still more than they make and losing it. Some people even see one another all the time and yet still don't know the person with whom he or she spends time with consistently.  Quantity doesn't always mean quality. 

Requesting more means more pressure, more expectations and having to balance more; it is impossible to do better with more when the quality or state of handling less has not been mastered.  More often than not it's not your quantity which requires increase it is our quality of state of mind that must be increased instead.

The way one views what you have is the determining factor as to how well it is maintained.  Many lecturers teach about the principles of money and how to make it work for you but all of those processes begin with changing how we view money or other resources.  Changing our perception of the things in our reach means treating those resources differently.  Instead of being desperate for resources and spending the resources in that manner viewing the resources as a means to an end produces an investment mentality. 

The next time you begin asking for more, look back to see how faithful you have been with what you have.
