When the rich cry

The fashionable religion of becoming rich has taken over the world. A positive uncle arrives at a high-budget seminar and preaches "success", and slides are broadcast behind his back: "Here I am in a red Ferrari. Here I am with the models. Here I am on vacation. Here I am...".

Many people are breathtaking from such a life. And the seekers of ideas for a successful business stop sleeping at night, dreaming of making a start-up — and life will instantly succeed. And already they will post their photos on the networks on sports cars and surrounded by glamorous beauties. And everyone will envy them. And admire. And love. With the latter, of course, problems arise later, but who pays attention to such nonsense as "love". You can buy it too... Then... Both love, life, and happiness are postponed for the period "when I become...".

For a superficial mind, such logic is extremely pleasant: "I will deal with fate later, but for now I will think like a millionaire." Horror... But not a quiet horror, but quite loud and hyped. Think like a millionaire...

Thinking like a millionaire

I have repeatedly asked those who have made financial savings the goal of their lives: "What will you do when you become rich?" The answers are not striking in their variety: "I'm going to rest. I will do what I want. I'm going to travel. I will allow myself the most exquisite food. I will sleep with the most beautiful women/men." And... the fantasy quickly runs out... And I ask:

— All?

— Ah! — Usually a person exclaims, as if coming to his senses. — I will help people!

— And what prevents you from helping now?

— I need more money and that's when I will... I'll do charity work!

The last word is usually said to maintain the beauty of the ego. After all, I have to say something "right" when I start smiling, listening to all this exciting abyss of desires. After all, none of those who pronounce these patterns understands that thousands of wonderful personalities before them have already expressed these same "ideas" in the same text.

"Do what I want" in the concept of the majority is financial independence — the maximum degree of freedom! Unfortunately, when people start talking about freedom, it boils down to just "eating a lot, relaxing a lot, traveling a lot, having a lot of sex."

Naturally, with different partners, because "when there is a lot of money, I can do whatever I want." That's it. The end of human volition.

So, what does public opinion sell you when it demands that you, like most consumers, want to become rich?

They sell you mental sex. And you, of course, are in the lead role. The role of the owner of the treasure. And the main thing of these treasures is not money at all... Dollars and euros are indifferent to you. You are buying into the fact that in the future you will be more respected and loved. A typical picture, for example, for the male ego: "Beautiful women. A lot. They dance on a big yacht and drink champagne. And you choose who to sleep with today..." I am the king of the world! Really?..

The thoughts of a person scared of life about huge wealth are just masturbation on the topic "money — more sex options". Now I'm not talking about those wonderful people who create projects with pleasure for themselves and for the benefit of society, but only about the eternal seekers of the "lucky chance of winning the lottery". They are the ones who can get anyone with their "positive thinking about future money". It is their desire to "become a millionaire" that is associated with the state of "becoming happy." The argument in favor of such "happiness" is also quite obvious: "A lot of money means a lot of opportunities." A lot of money means a lot of sex. And without sex, what do you need money for? Aaa... I know. There is a lot to eat and a lot to do nothing! It's like a sad paradise.

Paying the bills

I have repeatedly asked those who have already earned: "Are you happy now?". The most common answer is no.

For millionaires, the most widespread fear is that now all they need is money. And they fondly recall the time when they were just starting their businesses. Then these people knew for sure that those who are with them love them. And they felt so good from this simple knowledge.

Now they live in houses with high walls, like in huge crypts, and they prefer not to cross paths with their relatives. And when necessary, meetings with "loved ones" are sadly written out checks. And they want everyone to get behind them. And they dream of escaping from what they have created themselves. And they dream of happiness... They dream of being loved for nothing... Therefore, they get themselves pets and only trust their love completely.

And many of them are really working hard, because there is no way to stop. Money does not stop making money. And you need to keep an eye on the money. Financial markets need to be monitored. The people you hire to keep an eye on the capital also need to be watched. For his subordinates... For relatives... You need to keep an eye on everyone who has access to your money. And the brain is constantly replaying the question: "And if I lose everything, how will you treat me?"

The millionaire knows the answer, because at some point he stopped trusting. And he was burned out from the inside. He became indifferent to those illusions that he had been in awe of before. All the attributes of a beautiful life have long been boring. I want to sell businesses, close businesses and hide on some island away from people.

That's how millionaires think... But they don't write about it in books, otherwise people won't buy them. And they don't talk at seminars, because they will have to admit that they have managed to earn a lot, but in the end they failed. And knowledge of the laws of business suggests that being a loser means showing weakness. And if you are weak, you will be torn apart by competitors. A vicious circle. Therefore, it is necessary even to repeat to yourself like a mantra: "I am cool. I am successful. Here I am in a red Ferrari. Here I am with the models. Here I am on vacation. Here I am..." Here I am sitting with a glass of whiskey and crying... And I'm paying the bills of the life I've been saving for later.

There is life. There is no love. Something went wrong...

Do not depend on the result

There is still life. And to dream of love for such an adult and successful person is somehow childish. But he's dreaming... About the most important thing in the world that I couldn't get.

Millionaires are very close to understanding mindfulness: you have everything that others want, but — in fact — there is nothing. A lonely millionaire is one step away from epiphany... And many people do it.

And invest money in science, medicine, research, and space technology. They invest so furiously, as if they want to get rid of it... These are the intricacies of cosmic humor: when the rich cry, they know for sure that no one comes to Earth to earn money, but this can best be understood when you already have it.

...I dare not dissuade you from wanting to "definitely become a millionaire." This is just one of the options for satisfying illusions.

...And I will be happy that you will earn more and more. Money is a very pleasant thing to use. The truth is that wealth and awareness are perfectly combined. The path of wealth is based on discipline, concentration, willpower, analytical thinking, the ability to take risks and make non-obvious decisions. And on the path of awareness, these same qualities are necessary. And these roads can only be happy in one case — when you do not depend on the result. It will work out — well. It won't work — but we had a lot of fun in this life! Therefore, we take risks and act!

I wish that all "spiritual", i.e. cheerful, easy and kind people would always be rich. Simply so... Wealth is a normal state of mind. And it does not depend on the amount of money.
