Many people are on an endless quest for monetary wealth. They think the more money they have, the easier and happier their life will be. That if only they could become “rich,” then they can finally have everything they’ve ever wanted.

Although the problem is, this is a pursuit that never ends. There is no point where you suddenly get declared “rich.” You don’t add a few zeros to your net worth and then get an email that reads, “Congrats, you’re rich!”

Instead, being rich is more of a feeling than it is a figure. It’s about being congruent with oneself. It’s about doing what you truly want, value, and believe in.

For many, their desire and greed for money take them on a crazy path where they get everything but this. Hence, Tony Robbins has a saying: “Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.”

What this article proposes is a pursuit for a better life where fulfillment, not wealth, is at the forefront. Under this model, you find that you don’t actually need much money to live the life you really want.
