Having More Money Doesn’t Guarantee Anything
Why a rise in income won’t solve your problems.
There’s an underlying belief in the world that having more money is the fixer of all problems. People think that any feelings of unhappiness in their circumstances would be alleviated by a raise in their income level.
However, money isn’t a life-changer. Quicksilver cash might upgrade the things in our lives, but it does very little to alter the course of it. As Tony Robbins has said,
“Money can’t change who we are. All it does is magnify our true natures. If you’re mean and selfish, you have more to be mean and selfish with. If you’re grateful and loving, you have more to appreciate and give.”
Indeed, when most people earn more, they simply spend more. Very few people are able to increase their income, joy and circumstances at the same time. Hence, Jim Rohn has a saying, “It’s hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.”
If what you're seeking is a better and more fulfilling life, then this article presents a more effective way to do it. Here we go.
