I
A Few Million Would be Really Nice.
On the other hand, taxes will take half off the top. Your friends and relatives will want another half. The new house or remodel will cost another half. Later, when you’re living in the van on the street you will think back about your life, especially if you had an irresistible lover, and you’ll sing a Robert Palmer song:
She’s unavoidable, I’m backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I’m breaking promises, she’s breaking every law
She used to look good to me, but now I find her
Simply irresistible . She’s so fine, there’s no tellin’. . . where the money went”
Is It Necessary to be a Millionaire?
Being a millionaire is good. A billionaire is better. How about a trillion? It’s just too much. What kind of life do you want to create for yourself? What’s the final result of your efforts. When you start a project, it’s good to keep the end in mind.
Be the Person You Want to Be.
In a great book, The Millionaire Course, author Marc Allen writes that being a millionaire has nothing to do with being the person that you want to be. He writes,
“Understanding that makes things a lot easier for us: We don’t need to achieve our goals of success in the world before we can find enjoyment and even fulfillment in our lives, because enjoyment and fulfillment are found within us, not out there in the world, and certainly not in a big house or hefty bank account or diversified investment portfolio.”
He goes on to relate what Eckhart Tolle says in the power of now.
“All we need to do is get the inside right, and then the outside will take care of itself.”
Exercise
Create a perfect day in your thoughts. What would it be like awakening, going about your morning routine, going out or staying in? Make everything just right. Create just one day of perfection. Add in whatever senses, tastes and fragrances, sights and sounds and textures that fit in that day.
