According to the conventional wisdom, there is never a lot of money. And, indeed, almost everyone lacks them. Moreover, both wealthy people do not have enough for needs that can literally appear out of thin air, and poor people do not have enough for the essentials. Only a few are really satisfied with the level of their well-being. There is a tendency in society: the higher the income, the more the needs grow.
If I was given a million?
Almost every one of us, looking at the life of millionaires, dreamed of how life would turn out if a million dollars suddenly appeared in our bank account. Usually, the imagination draws bright prospects: to go travel, change the type of activity, buy real estate, start living beautifully, etc. It seems that all problems will be solved with a wave of a magic wand, and happiness will finally come close to us.
However, let us ponder whether these rainbow pictures can be considered objective? According to statistics, people who suddenly became rich through the lottery or in other ways, in most cases, faced serious problems in life. Most of the "lucky ones" had families falling apart for several years, alcoholism and other addictions arose, some died within 2-3 years. Paradoxically, many managed not only to spend a fortune, but also to accumulate large debts. And only a small percentage of people who received a large amount of money could say that their life has changed for the better. And we dream of a million…. Why does this happen?
Inner strength for owning big money
Big money is a huge resource that requires responsibility in order to manage it. It can be compared to a large ship. Can we manage it? Can we do it? If our ability to manage a powerful system is not enough, then the system begins to control us. And most often it can end tragically, because we find ourselves defenseless in the face of many new factors that have appeared.
But what about a million? This is a huge resource. You need to have inner strength to curb this energy and remain the master of the situation. Otherwise, if the rider does not restrain the horse, he will be thrown to the ground. Pay attention to the fact that all people who have big money and whose life is not destroyed by this have a very balanced and detached attitude towards their money. Money does not enslave them.
The dangers of owning big money
If a person does not have sufficient inner strength not to become a slave of this resource, then numerous circumstances will burst into his life, before which he will be completely defenseless.
First, his own desires and vices, which will be satisfied and developed with the help of money, and then will begin to control a person and will be stronger than him. This can be not only craving for alcohol, but also dependence on the opportunity not to work, to occupy a special position in society, attachment to a certain standard of living or the opportunity to have material benefits.
Secondly, big money begins to change the attitude towards its owner. This also applies to relationships with the opposite sex, and relationships with friends. In most cases, the desire for easy money begins to play a role in all of these relationships. And this is logical - not sincere friends begin to flock to a rich person, but those who want to "join" money. You can find many stories about how suddenly bankrupt people leave most of his so-called friends. Only the sincere and loyal remain. This is why many millionaires are obsessed with the idea that they are being used for money. And it is not unreasonable.
So is it worth dreaming of a million dollars? Dreaming, of course, is worth it, and at the same time, it is important to answer the question: do you really need it? Or, if you are dreaming, then it is important to realize what you need to change or develop in yourself in order to successfully pass the test of wealth.
