I want to be rich, I want to be wealthy, I want to live a life where a lack of money isn’t an issue. People struggle with this and we don’t know what avenues exist to quench the wealth thirst.
I struggle with this as well, I’ve spent my whole 20’s busting my ass to generate more money and to no one’s surprise I’m no better off than the average Australian. Now this is speaking broadly, I’m above average for my demographic with savings, super, and annual salary. Nonetheless I haven’t achieved the real financial goals I set out to achieve as an 18 year old. The reason this stings is that I had expectations, and I worked hard. The effort was there, the results haven’t come.
I’m now in my 30’s and tired, I’ve worked extremely hard to get a well paying, but kind of shitty job with no flexibility. My business ventures haven’t gotten off the ground for a range of reasons. I feel lost and coping with the overwhelming feelings attached to the resignation of my ambitions. I spend my idle moment breaking rapidly searching my brain for answers for this monumental failure. This is followed by a reframe, I’ve learnt lots of lessons. This settles me for a time… but moreover I feel like the pressure is held back by a dam made by a shitty contractor. Once this cracks I’m anxiously searching for the next way to make money. Reading books, articles, Reddit. Smashing different AI platforms with prompts shitting out generic advice. Just on this process alone I’m draining all my energy, no wonder when I return to my 9-5 I’m completely and utterly fucked. What a good time for me to cut out caffeine. Dumbass.
Today I found myself a foreigner in a moment of peace. Calmness found me and I almost didn’t recognise it. Here I realise that regardless of the predestined outcomes of my success, this mental flow would not breed a positive result. My mental space is ugly, I’m bursting through the natural rhythms of life and expecting the universe to reward my arrogance. In this peace I’ve decided to trust my brain and spirit. Invite more peace into my headspace and let life happen. I must clearly dictate where I want to go, and have faith that my mind will take me there. Like a putting a destination in a GPS and not scrutinising the path.
Move through life with peace
Perform actions that I find meaning in
Make reasonable decisions
So can you earn lots of money working a 9-5? I guess I didn’t really address that.
Let me meditate on that
