💰 Why Chasing Money Won’t Make You Rich
Overview
Everyone wants money to improve their quality of life, feel safe, and demonstrate their success.
However, most people eventually start chasing money rather than their goals.
In actuality, pursuing wealth seldom results in wealth.
Because true wealth isn’t only about what’s in your bank account but also about what’s inside of you, it frequently leaves you feeling drained, nervous, and empty.
1. The Delusion of “More”
Someone is always more successful, wealthy, and ostentatious than you.
Someone else has a better phone than the one you purchased.
Someone has two cars, and you get one.
The pursuit never stops.
No matter how much money you make, you will always feel impoverished if you measure happiness by comparison.
Asking “How much is enough” instead of “How much more?” is the first step toward true wealth.
2. Money is a tool, not the objective
Comfort can be purchased with money, but satisfaction cannot.
You can rent a house from it, but not the house itself.
It can cover the cost of your time, but not your tranquility.
Those who pursue wealth ultimately spend their entire lives laboring for it.
However, individuals who pursue value—concepts, abilities, and a sense of purpose end up making money work for them.
