$1,000,000 Isn’t For Everyone

Andrew Tate’s advice is worth listening to

Money is a b*tch. Nothing beats it.

Everyone runs after it. Those who don’t have it want it to live comfortably, those who do, want to level up.

The most successful people in the world, Their first advice is, don’t run after money. Focus on the long game.

Fair enough. What does that look like?

The long game is riddled with self-improvement and personal development. It also concentrates on a niche or small segment.

You pick a passion and you go after it with everything you got. You might not get paid, but that doesn’t matter.

If you do get rich, you might not be happy.

Money is not happiness and it can never be.

If money becomes happiness, you always have to look over your shoulder

Have you seen movies where people who live a life of crime end up getting arrested?

When they get out they say something about how they are relieved they no longer have to look over their shoulder all the time?

Something cheesy like,

I just want to sleep peacefully for one night not worrying about getting caught…

This is the same case.

Anytime you realise someone has more money than you, you feel insecure and unhappy.

Happiness comes from within.

It comes from accepting who you are and creating value for others.

That is true happiness — helping others.

Andrew Tate’s advice left me thinking

If you’re the man first and then get rich, you’re THE MAN. If you’re a punk and you get rich, you’re a MASSIVE PUNK.

It put me in self-reflection mode. Where am I?

Becoming the man first means several things. All of which amounts to not being an a-hole to people.

You know those people who are rich but you don’t generally see it. Like they don’t go out of their way to tell you, ‘Hey, I’m rich!’

Those people are well established.

But then again come the people who rub it in your face. It might be their parents who were rich, not them. Do they care? No.

Now imagine if they became very rich — not successful, rich.

Oh, God!

Money is the King of the World

Money runs the world. No hiding from that.

It is a means to show power.

I am better than you because I have more money

Even if you don’t blatantly say it to someone, chances are you subconsciously think it.

At the same time if the other person is richer than you, whether he shows it or not, you will feel insecure around them. You will resent them.

Influencing the world in a positive way, making a good difference in the world is the determinant of success.

Influencing people in a good way.

Rich people aren’t inspirations. Good people are.

Money makes you miserable when it makes you realise that nothing changed despite being rich.

So many people are miserable nowadays — rich and poor alike.

If you think money doesn’t buy you happiness you don’t know where to shop!

I have heard this quote many times. I just got to thinking how shallow it really is.

It makes no sense.

Money can only buy you cheap happiness — instant gratification, one that doesn’t last.

What will you do? Buy a jet? Go to the strip club to have the ‘best time’? Party every day?

Actual happiness comes from intrinsic things. Gratitude, self-acceptance, and inner peace.

When people overspend they want others to know they have money. Is that being happy?

If you get rich while being the most insecure person in the world, that won't solve your problems, it will only delay them.

The common phrase goes,

Money doesn’t change you, it amplifies you

You have to change yourself before you amplify yourself. If you are the same arrogant and ignorant person, you are not going to enjoy your success.

If you are a good person, and your happiness is based on gratitude and inner peace, when you get amplified, you throw all that to other people.

The long road is the more rewarding one.

Developing yourself is very important. One thing I am working on, now more than ever.

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job

— Jim Rohn

Take the long road

The long road focuses on making value for others.

If you chase money you will likely look at shortcuts. Scams and whatnot.

On the contrary, when you focus on making value for others, helping them without expecting anything back, you take the longer and more patient road.

You end up going further. It takes time, but in the end, it is worth it.

When all is said and done, when you are on your deathbed, you have lived a life worth living.

Your measure of happiness is YOU, not your net worth.

When YOU make you happy and not some numbers following a dollar sign, you become peaceful. Everything feels like a blessing then.
