What next after you get all the wealth, happiness, health, and general success you want?
Boy, that was a mouthful. Good thing I don’t have my titles that long all the time – Twitter would ban my updates for sure (or people would think I never finish anything…)
OK, the reason I got inspired to write this was exactly what was in my in-box – another endorsement (read: affliliate link) for someone I hadn’t heard of before and how many glowing testimonials with some incredible, don’t-pass-now offer reduced for a limited time…
Like I’d never seen these before.
Actually, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been opting out of way more mailing lists than I join now days. Usually right after the first worthless offer.
Because these guys are in the same ego trap as their customers – and you can tell in the way they are writing.
You have to ask yourself – what’s all this money for? Sure, having good health is a near necessity – but are you trying to be perfectly healthy all the time, or would minor aches and pains every now and then (like sore from playing a long game of tennis, or being tired after tromping around in the woods all day keeping up with grand children – would those be acceptable?)
Charles Haanel held that money was only a symbol, and that chasing a symbol would cause it all to disappear. Money only stands for what you did to get it. Earl Nightingale said at least once that money only says how much value you’ve been giving others.
Figure that people who only are telling people how to get all the money they want, all the success they can stand – these people are caught up in the same trap.
They’re all symbol-chasing. Why? So the people around you will think better of you?
When you don’t have to take any medicine, and all your bills are paid for months at a time, then what?
And when you get along with the people you like and the other ones mostly leave you alone, then what relationships are you still needing to improve?
The question you want to ask yourself is: “What happens when I get there?”

I’m not sure,but I sure would like to have the monies that I need/want,in order to do what I like best-Help others anonymously,and to be by myself.
@russfraz66
Thanks. I think there are far more who want this than are commonly known. Probably more than those who want all that fame and fortune.
Funny,I didn’t see the paypal link before-What is it,that you intend to do when you have all of the wealth that you need/want?
@Russ – Getting there is half the fun… But the answer is – in this post about goals and purposes. Thanks for listening.
