11851. Maybe wealth isn’t solely about more money,
but more joy, more value, more fulfilment, more collaboration, more meaningful
moments, more celebration of your life and those that support you. The “mores” that matter;
11852. Become more
valuable. Learn to delegate. Hire those that truly enhance our lives. We trade our money (energy) to access others
energy (expertise) in order to free us up . . . so we can create the most
value;
11853. Not living your best
life, not sharing how to do it with others, not being inspired and inspiring in
the name of “playing it small and safe” is greedy. The world loses your gifts;
11854. Spending more than we
make is a terrible choice leading to bankruptcy. Yet by thinking life is something to reduce
and money is something to “save” rather than earn and grow, we limit our
potential and our production;
11855. The hustle and grind
would say save money by doing it yourself.
“If you want something done right, do it yourself” . . . and burn
out. And limit your best abilities. And have less wealth;
11856. Less wealth by doing what
you hate. Less wealth by limiting the
depth of your relationships. Less
wealthy by draining energy by doing so much to save by having it be less
convenient and losing time;
11857. Those who buy into the
budgeting mindset are willing to sacrifice life for growing a bank account;
11858. By cutting back to build
wealth, you can become the miserable millionaire. Rich in your account, broke in life;
11859. Wealth is how you live
and enjoy your life. And if money is the
primary reason or excuse you do or don’t do something, you aren’t wealthy;
11860. If your time isn’t your
own, if you are doing things that you loathe, if you are obsessed with saving
fiat money (that inflation decimates), if you wish the past were different or
only focused on getting to a future date where your life will be better, you
aren’t wealthy;
11861. Money matters, but so do
so many other things as well. No money
can lead to massive stress, debt, self-judgment, guilt, shame, embarrassment. But no matter how much money you have, if you
don’t have time to connect with people, cultivate relationships, be creative,
have hobbies, have time for your health, fulfillment will be elusive;
11862. What does wealth look like for you? What matters most in your life? What would you do if money were no longer a concern or worry, if you had an unlimited checking account? What would you start doing? How would your thinking change? What would it take to create your richest life? What can you do that matters most to you? How could you experience a life that you love? The key to wealth is within your answers to these questions. Invest the time. Only you get to decide. If someone else chooses for you, you lose. If you are unclear, you may be manipulated or have energy leaks. This is the hard work worth doing. The hard work that matters. Not pushing through artificial deadlines or doing things you hate to make money. But to know what you want, go for it and design a life you don’t want to retire from;
