There is a money monster that lurks, murmuring what's in it for me...what do I get out of this thing, this contribution I am making? With shifty eyes, what's in it for me looks around and sees what others have and wants wants whispering that should be minnnnneeee. This is one of the most dangerous money monsters. Given space and time to breathe and speak, it breeds contempt, jealousy and a self indulgence that destroys character and trust in relationships. This is the dangerous part, the broken trust in relationship. What's in it for me has a posture, a way of positioning and maneuvering to get what is owed to it and giving way to the insidiousness of entitlement, another natural monster bred cousin. When what's in it for me shows up, everyone can smell it's odoriferous scent and backing away is the only self protective mechanism available to the would be offended victim if they were to stay...what's in it for me is offensive and must be stopped by checking in with the questions: what do I want, what am I willing to do to get it and lastly, who do I want to be in relationship with others? Letting what's in it for me speak is a mistake, eradicate him by going out immediately and doing something kind for someone who could NEVER possibly pay you back!
