Default Re: The pursuit of wealth

The story of Paul is the story of every poor man that is destined to die poor. I don't think that religion has anyhing to do with it. There a "rich" and poor in every denomination.

Wealth is a state of mind which manifests as dollars. Wealth, all types, are in the mind.

The wealthy/rich are wealthy long before they receive any "money". At the age of 12yo when you decided to put your allowance into a piggy bank and not spend it, you became rich.

In Paul's case he seeks monetary wealth without understanding the means in which to get it. His father another poor man is clueless as well. .

Paul may have been ADHD. Maybe not. This diagnosis still wouldn't negate all the other poor men who think like him. They don't have ADHD.

It is my belief that Paul is like every other poor man destined to die poor. He was looking for something for nothing. Paul wanted to steal his dream, not work for it. He thought that the world owed him the good life because his life was hard.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB, PAUL AND ALL.

I'm sure many of us could tell stories about our lives in which we would all need a box of kleenex. But in life which is hard for everyone, you must take the bull by the horns.


Wealth will come to those who know that hard work, living below your means, saving and investing is the only formula for monetary wealth/success in life.

By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread.

The minute you forget that,you start to believe like Paul and the many mentally poverty stricken in the world, that life should be free. Anger and eventual despair are inevitable.
