The Trap Of Being Rich!

Most people believe that having more - more money, more time, more possessions, will give them the freedom to do more. But the truth is the opposite: the less you have, the more you can actually do.

Think about it:

People who have a lot of money often end up doing very little and many even go bankrupt.
People who have too much time don’t use it. They waste it while believing they’re “busy.”
People who live in deep poverty are also trapped. Poverty is heavy, and that weight stops them from moving forward.

You'll see that people that have a lot and people that have nothing both are useless in the same level.

The ones who truly create and produce are those in the middle, people who still have enough life in them to build, create, and take action.

Take, for example, the children of very wealthy families. Many times, they were never taught to produce or create.

Everything is done for them: food prepared, clothes laid out, drivers ready at the door. And what happens? Even the smallest task becomes “too difficult.”

They become messed up, useless, out ethics and they cannot do anything.

On the other side, those with nothing also struggle. You ask them to join a project, an opportunity, or even something fun, and their answer is the same:

“It’s too much for me. I need my time. I can’t.”

They do nothing, but somehow feel overwhelmed by everything.

Here’s how you know someone is caught in this cycle:

They give lots of explanations but deliver no results.

The more explanations a person has, the fewer ideas they generate, the fewer results they create, and the deeper they sink into frustration.

Explanations tie you to the past. Maybe your past is wealth, maybe it’s poverty, maybe it’s pain. Whatever it is, the past is heavy.

The more past you carry, the less you do.

What creates real action and real results are ideas. Ideas allow you to create without worrying about what you have or don’t have.
