I will say this, though: some of the most generous people in today’s world came from absolutely nothing.
Money power respect the lox how to#
I am not going to sit here and tell people how to spend their money, especially when they are the ones who have earned it. In the end, it is up to you if you use that money to help people or just spend money to spend money. You are generally able to do so much more when you have the means. I agree that, even though it sounds materialistic, money is one of the most important things to living comfortably in the world today. Now most people don’t agree with putting money on the back burner and worrying about it after gaining respect and power. It is a slippery slope between swaying people’s opinions for the betterment of themselves, or for you to appease yourself. So this can still be a tricky scenario for some people. The problem with this is it can be used for good or for bad. When you can sway an individual’s opinion, you have more power than you know. When you gain someone’s respect, not only do they respect you as an individual, but they also respect your opinion. This isn’t power in the sense that you have the ability to tell someone to wash your car, or go pick up your dry-cleaning. Power, in this sense, is the power to influence another’s decision making, change someone’s life path, or just the power to make a genuine difference in the life of someone, or lives of multiple people.
With this respect, comes the power, but it’s not the typical power you might first think of. When someone trusts you, there are really no limits in which your relationship (business or personal) can flourish. Yes, this takes time however, in the grand scheme of things, when someone respects you, they typically trust you to a certain extent, as well. You need to put in the work and obtain the respect of your peers, partners, and influential people in your life. In essence, you’re buying your power and respect. This is one of the major flaws in the M-P-R scenario. Respect is earned you can’t buy it, which is why it needs to be your first priority. What is the point of having all that money if you hate yourself, everyone around you, and you are just a prick? It’s so cliché to bring it up, but we’ve all seen or read about people, who have more money than they know what to do with, being miserable human beings. At the end of the day, life is all about being happy. Now, if you flip this equation around and go in the order of respect, power, and money, it may take you a little longer to get to where you want to be -financially speaking - but in the long run, not only will you be happier, but you’ll also be a better person for it. You can do your own research on this one, but when people hate you as a person, life tends to be miserable. When you’re a d*ckhead, people aren’t going to respect you, they’re going to hate you. Your ego will become so inflated you won’t be able to tell the difference between having power and just being a d*ckhead. The reason why the money, power, respect path is flawed is because typically, when you put money above all, it translates into ego and hatred, not power and respect. It should actually be respect first, followed by power, and finally, money, but I guess that wouldn’t sound too catchy in a song. However, I am here to tell you that in the “real world,” that process is completely backwards. When you are brought up in that “fast-life” lifestyle, that is typically how your mindset needs to be to survive. Now, in certain scenarios, I can’t really argue against that thought process. After you get the f*ckin' power, mothaf*ckas will respect you.” I think we all agree that could be said in a much more pleasant way, but we understand the meaning. The theory behind it is simple, like the lyrics say, “First you get the money. It has become somewhat of a cultural saying that Generation-Y has kept alive. “Money, Power, Respect”: it has come a long way from just being the title of the debut album for hip hop group The Lox.
