And why does it matter what you think about money, anyway?
Well! I've been researching for months now. I was so curious to find what the difference between wealthy and poor people was. I found it in various texts. The distinguishing difference in poor and wealthy people is the way they think.
The cars they drive, the clothes they wear and the schools they send their children to are all results of this. Your thoughts about yourself, your life and your resources (namely money) will cause you to have very different experiences. . .
There are people who want to live comfortably. I mean, there are people who would like not to suffer but who would consider themselves morally inferior if they were not struggling. I have a friend - he is a phenomenal writer and poet. He was in the library studying vigilantly for a paper he was working on for graduate school (which is his custom). I felt proud. As a compliment and encouragement I asked him if he was trying to make "us" a millie one day. He said: "Man, I'm just trying to be another worker."
Many people would find this honorable. I found it ridiculous and unacceptable for me. Why? Because - even if I did not have aspirations of leading the life of a billionaire I still would not want to be "just another" anything. I mean, come on! What a waste. He has incredible talent and apparently has no high hopes for it if he aspires to be "just another worker."
You do not have to become a millionaire if you do not want to. . .but you can at least grace this world with your talent and skill. Share yourself with the world! It is safe to do so. . .Share your gifts - we are always looking for the fresh & new. . .There has never been another like you and their never will.
You do not have to apologize for your success and you do not have to hamper your success. Know that it is absolutely natural and healthy to desire compensation for your service/work. You deserve to be provided for as you add your voice to the cultural mix and supply the world with a fresh, never-before-seen PERSPECTIVE which is unique to you.
So. . .What are you waiting for?
