The main reason I have plenty of money flowing through my life these days is that I figured out how to empower myself when I was broke. That internal sense of empowerment is far more important than any amount of cash. If you throw lots of cash at a disempowered person, they'll just find a way to blow it on stupid stuff.
Money doesn't bestow power. Money can only serve as an additional channel for your current level of power. If you feel powerless w/o money, you'll feel just as powerless with it. Powerless people who inherit lots of money spend a good deal of time being paranoid about losing it. |
Ah i get what you mean. I agree, for someone who has no purpose and doesn't feel able and capable of changing his environment, money alone won't do the trick. As we know, most lottery winners end up broke after a while, which proves that the person must be empowered already and have the right mindset to be able to get the full benefits of having money.
What i mean with my post is that, if someone knows what he wants, then to reach his ends, most of the times, having money will help a lot. I'll have to resort to the very much clichéed phrase "along with power comes responsability". If the person isn't responsible then yea his life will still be a mess with or without money, but if someone knows how to settle his life, then money is a great tool for amplifying his reach and power.
