3 Early Warning Signs That Money Will Never Bring You True Happiness
Here’s how we ruin our future and destroy joy in the process
When we are trying to build our portfolio, we tend to be more responsible.
That’s primarily because it’s our ass that is on the line. Now let’s say you are 20 years old and want to build a portfolio of investments. You’ve always wanted to do it. The later you do it, the more you reduce the final cash value of accumulated compounding on your hand.
Because we suffer from the Wall Street Syndrome. This is what Bennet Goodspeed writes in the Tao Jones Averages:
“The left-brained analytic system on Wall Street has become overdeveloped. Like a tree that has grown too large for its place in the forest, it has crowded out intuition, vision, creativity, and gestalt sensing, which are the properties of the right hemisphere. As professionals of the Street continue to try to overpower darkness, opportunities will exist for those who can sense new directions.”
We all suffer from the same Wall Street Syndrome. Our Analytical Brains almost take over our intuitions and wants that would enshrine our peace and give us some notion to be enjoying life instead of just keeping up with the scores of it.
