There is One more reason why such an attitude is moronic to begin with. If your self worth is based upon the money you make, you are already in for a miserable life as long as you haven’t made it big. And this could be a chase that could take quite a few years. No sane person wants to let his happiness be held hostage by a chase that may consummate only years later. It’s a bad deal. But yet far too many of us fall for this bad deal; don’t we?
You are great the way you are. Money need not make you great or greater. The fact that God has chosen you to be, to exist, to go about experiencing and savoring the planet Earth, is enough of a reason for you to offer respect to yourself, to see yourself as worthy. You need not decide your price tag based on fickle external standards like money or fame or power.
Projecting such illusory power onto money is the cause of our misery. The day you understand that your self worth has little to do with your bank balance, you are free. And then money doesn’t mind flowing in freely to you as well.
