Notice that while "earning an income" occupied position #18 on the list, "smelling vanilla" didn't enter the list until #177. I think it's clear where Steve's priorities lie. |
Clearly "smelling vanilla" is code for "fanning a meaty wad of cash in your hand and basking in the aroma of said wad of cash".
Steve was also lying when he said he burns vanilla incense in his office. He really meant to say that he burns $100 bills on flaming pyres. Mmmmm, flaming hundred dollar bill goodness. (Flaming pryres of cash is also Steve's secret to manifesting abundance. Remember, you're not really resonating with abundance until you can both envision it AND have the smell of flaming cash wafting into your awareness.)
(I've no idea what American money smells like, but I'm pretty sure it'd smell worse then Australian money. It gets around more. Plus paper is more absorbent then plastic. Man, could I sound any more seedy if I tried?!
