About this episode
Everything is better when you are rich. NOTHING is worse. - When you have normal life problems, does having money make those problems better or worse? Even the worst-case scenarios of life are better when you are rich. You have NO problems when your problems can go away when you write a check. The problems you have when you have money are WAY BETTER than the problems you have when you are poor. People romanticize the idea of living simple lives, out on the prairie or out in a jungle tribe. But the historical facts are that the tribal nations of humans were actually quite horrible. The Indian tribes in the Southwest actually committed some of the most brutal atrocities every accounted for. Rape and murder were normal on the prairies. They weren't the spiritual meccas of well-being! Funny story is how every time a lost tribe is found...and they learn that life is better out of the jungle...they leave. That's the first thing they do?..They leave. They like having nicer stuff! If you can write a check to make a problem go away, you don't have a problem. All the worst problems in life: health / financial, etc, are not nearly as bad when you have money. That's a fact. Money improves every aspect of life. 99% of your issues go away with money. With money, you can also make other people's problems go away. You can solve their issues when you choose to. Rule 4. What your heart, soul, mind, body and spirit search for beyond all else is FREEDOM. You want more than anything, Libertas. To do what you want to do when you want to do it at the highest level. Have you ever considered how much of your conscious & unconscious moments are spent worrying about lack of money? NOT being rich keeps you dependent. If you never had to worry about money for any of your immediate needs or those of your family, those you care about...if you'd created abundance for everyone who matters most to you, you'd then have freedom to do that for others as well. The highest and truest purpose of all of us on this planet is to be of service to others. There's no greater feeling of satisfaction than the feeling of knowing you've helped someone. Most people say their happiest years were raising their family... when they were helping them grow up on an intense and daily level. This is why when they're older, it's not uncommon to feel depressed out of lack of being needed. When you're rich, you can create a circumstance for yourself where you are ALWAYS being of service to other people. Ask yourself what you'd do with your life's energy if you no longer had to worry about money? If you no longer had that worry, you'd make better decisions. You'll make different and better decisions when you're no longer living in fear of being broke. No longer living in fear of pissing someone off who might be able to fire you or cause you to lose financial security. Ask yourself if you were rich, truly independent and free, would you vote the same way? Are you voting the way you are now because you are choosing to give up your freedoms for the promise of 'being taken care of?' People with purpose, who are financially free are focused on improving their lives as well as the people around them. It's not more money, more problems, it's more money = more time and you can truly make a difference. When you are rich and free, you're not easily manipulated. When you're not rich, your decisions are largely influenced by someone or something creating the illusion of financial security for you. Once you're rich and free, you'll see how you're voluntarily choosing to be beholden to a system that was intentionally designed to oppress you and manipulate you into believing that the system has to exist.
