It Is NOT About the Money
“I just want to be comfortable. I do not need to be rich.”- a common belief
According to James Altucher:
Lesson#11 It’s never about the money
I have a bad habit. Sometimes when I am listening to people I tend to substitute the opposite words than the ones the person is speaking.
For example, suppose someone says, “I never lie.” I immediately substitute the words that the person often lies. I am a hard worker becomes I am lazy. And so on. I am looking to see which one “fits” better.
The quote above becomes, “I do not just want to be comfortable. I want to be rich.” Now that sounds more like what most people are thinking. So why do we say the opposite.
I believe that having lots of money, being rich, is something that most of us aspire to. We don’t just want the security we want the financial freedom to live not just to work in order to live. But first we just need to be honest with ourselves.
Today’s question is:
“If it is not money, then what is it for you?”
