The Motivation to be Rich: Why It Sustains Us
Competition forces cooperation. Yes, nature would like us to be rich. Examine your definition of rich.
Competition forces cooperation. Meaning, yes, nature would like us to be rich. Except, what is rich? The motivation to be rich? Does it sustain us? When have we taken it ‘too far?’ Or, not far enough?
Inflation is one answer. If you have assets, and economies inflate, rich today, may mean, poor tomorrow. So, whether you like it or not, and, whether you realize it or not, nature forces you to stay involved, compete, cooperate, with others, to stay tuned, and make, the ‘right’ amount of money. Enough money. To survive.
Deflation is another answer. Not just financial deflation. How about emotional deflation (and-or inflation)? Prices go up and down, impossible to predict the future, meaning, an asset is, always, also, a liability. So, no matter how much money, are you saving enough? Are you saving anything?
50–50 reality corrects, and balances this. Meaning, a liability, is, also, always an asset. And, also, intangible assets (what’s in your mind) are always involved. Meaning, you can always change course. Start again. Rethink your financial reality to in order to ‘be’ rich, and-or, stay-rich. Remind yourself not to get ahead of reality, borrow too much, spend too much, etc.
‘Rich’ is relative, something everybody knows. So how you arrange your life, is, always up to you. How you handle your emotions, when it comes to money, is, also, always, up to you, and, maybe, more essential to understand, to control, and-or, to manage. Much more to the point.
The motivation to be rich, may, or may-not, sustain us. It can inspire us, however. As long as we remember, a 50–50 circle, will always have, control. Everyone is rich. Up to you to ‘see it.’ And, then, take control (of your own financial destiny).
