Wealth Perception

Money isn't the ultimate goal, but it is worth pursuing. Not because it can directly buy a happy life, but because it can buy freedom; we can use that freedom to uncover a happy life.

Growing up, I frequently encountered people speaking negatively about money.

I heard "rich" used as a synonym for "corrupt," and "poor" as a substitute for "humble."

By the time I was a teenager, these ideas had influenced my perception of money. I found myself believing that the life of a starving artist would be deeper and more meaningful. Art is undoubtedly fantastic, but I have now come to the opinion that complete artistic exploration is a luxury I want to reserve for when I am financially free.

The best lesson I've learned is that money amplifies what we already are. If we are kind, it can make us even kinder. If we are greedy, we need to watch out! We need to improve and prepare ourselves so that we can amplify our good qualities.

Our perception of money needs to be corrected before we pursue it. If we unconsciously still view money as evil, we create a barrier and we'll never attract it. A flawed perception of wealth is a guaranteed way to never achieve it.
