You are probably going to be rich!Congratulations!
Now, before we get too excited, I would like to pose a question to you:
Do you really know what you want?
Because you see, there is a difference between what you "think" you want, and what you actually want. Questions like this are extremely important ones to ask yourself, it's unrealistic to think you will become rich and not have to face this kind of question.
So let's be realistic then. You want money because..... because..... because you want a nice car and a nice house. You want to be able to take care of your family and give them the things they never had a chance to have. You want to be happy!
Right?
You want things. Things will make you happy.
If you'd allow me to refer to a short story called:
"The Rocking-Horse Winner" by D. H. Lawrence.
In this story, there is a young boy who lives with his mother, and the Mother is never happy. The young boy desperately craves his mother's affection, but he can never seem to make her happy. The Mother is frustrated at her own failures and thinks money will make her happy, and the boy thinks that the more money he has, the more his Mother will love him.
Long story short; the boy amasses a large sum of wealth and dies at the end..... and neither the boy nor his Mother ended up happy.
The story explores on the superficial desires people have and ends with death and misery.
It is a battle between what we think we want VS. what we feel.
You think you want money.
Let's be real though, you need money. You need money to achieve things, but you don't need a lot of money to live a happy life.
So let me end this post with a quote:
“Money is a terrible master, but an excellent servant"-Francis Bacon
Do not acquire a love for money.
Instead, use money as a tool to change the world for the better.
Then you will know what you want.
