T. Harv Eker shared a couple of priceless insights in his book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” which made a huge impact on me:
• “Just realize that no amount of money can ever make you good enough. Money can’t make you something you already are.”
• “Money is extremely important in the areas in which it works, and extremely unimportant in the areas in which it doesn’t.”
Interestingly enough, I came across a Forbes article that echoes the same idea. It talked about the biggest factors that motivate employees.
Two of them strongly resonated with me:
• Productivity suffers when workers feel they aren’t paid enough. Worse, they’ll get caught up with feeling resentful towards the company.
• Using money as the only reward for performing well tends to backfire. Employees who feel creative when doing a task are more motivated and empowered.
Money helps you function on a basic level, pays the bills and lets you enjoy life.
But clearly, it’s NOT the sole reason for being on earth.
And like Eker said, money can only get you so far.
You know this too. I’m willing to bet that the most wonderful experiences in your life had little to do with how much you had in your wallet at the time.
That’s why a finite and fluctuating resource like money isn’t the SUM of your achievements.
If you put a price tag on everything you do, or your self-worth…
…you’ll end up a like a dog chasing its tail.
You’ll never catch it, and it’ll wear out your soul in the process.
So as you work on making your goals happen every day, remember that money shouldn’t be your only focus.
Develop a more balanced, holistic outlook on success, and you’ll be more likely to get it.
Your criteria should be to connect with people and thats how you get a lot of opportunities in life here's a link to check out.
