Aha Grasshopper !!! Powayseller has figured out the key to prosperity ! Its a conundrum, If a person “saves” their way to prosperity, they always become afflicted with the disease I call the “Cheap Disease”…they only have their seemingly larger amounts of capital by “DENYING” themselves the benefits of wealth and abundance. Not a lifestyle worth living in my book, trading your life experiences and possibly life changing moments for an obscure number printed on a sheet of paper mailed to you from your bank every month does not define your worth. It doesnt define anybodies worth really, it merely gives you a sense of false security.
I never thought anything was tougher in my life than making money, I wanted larger than average amounts that could give me some peace of mind and financial stability, but I was WRONG!! I found out later, that “KEEPING” wealth is much harder to do than make it. It takes on its own entity, living, breathing, feeding, lifeform.
Now you have something bigger to worry about, even more so than when you were a “Have Not”. Being categorized in the column of “Haves” is much more stressful than being in the column of being a “Have not”
Why ?
I’ll try to explain:
Trying and fighting to save something like a bank account, property, wealth..etc..is mentally restricting because its a “defensive” mindset IE. You now have “something to lose”…whereas, to get that same wealth, you had to take chances, be shrewd, logical, committed and ballsy….that is a “Offensive” oriented mindset. Not very many people are good at both sides of the equation of wealth.
Cheap millionaires (savers) cant spend it or use it, and Gunslinger, damned the torpedoes millionaires types lose it…the better life is somewhere in between. Im trying for that. But, when your on your death bed, which of the two types “photo albums” of their lives would you like to be looking at ?
Surfer logic…my apologies if its too simplistic and or simple, but its the way I see it.
