Chasing money is a pointless pursuit

 From the time we graduate high school until we retire, most of us are concerned with money. We spend our time and energy learning a variety of skills that will help us get a job and work hard on the job to earn money to pay our bills, and the cycle continues. 

It's similar to a hamster wheel in which hamsters run, but instead of hamsters, we run in it. This is a never-ending cycle that renders chasing money pointless.

The reality of chasing money

People around you will tell you to work hard in order to make more money, that money is a proportion of hard work. 

However, chasing money will result in Exhaustion, distress, and a lack of time are just a few of the consequences of devoting yourself to a conceptually flawed endeavour

Almost 98% of people in the world spend their entire lives chasing money, intending it to bring them delight, progress, and to fix all of their life's problems.

 People who pursue this path work tirelessly on their jobs and live a frugal lifestyle to save money.

But, in the end, those who chased money will never find it. Despite this, they succeed. They had given up their lives for it, and they will not have enough time or energy to enjoy it. 

Some people save their earnings and invest them in the stock market over time in order to make a fortune. They will live a very frugal life, living below their means by saving and investing everything they own. 

In retirement, they become wealthy only if things go as planned, but if the markets crash or an economic crisis occurs, their entire life savings will be lost, or they may lose their money due to financial mismanagement, and there are numerous other factors influencing their ability to make a fortune in the long run.

However, despite the fact that they were wealthy due to their frugal lifestyle. They were unable to enjoy themselves because, apart from having more money, they lack time and energy, are likely to have health issues due to their age, and may have many obligations.

The vast disparity

On the other side, only 1.1 percent of the world's population controls 52 percent of global wealth.

This is the vast disparity between the rich and the poor.

 68 percent of the world's 1000 billionaires are self-made

The reason why most of them are not wealthy but are chasing money is that your school did not teach you much about this subject.

Getting rich is something that goes beyond what we've learned in school and college.

Let's dig a little deeper into this concept:

 

Mark Zuckerberg became a self-made billionaire at the age of 23, whereas making a billion dollars is impossible for those who work tirelessly in their jobs and live a frugal lifestyle. 

What distinguishes Mark Zuckerberg from the rest?

Mark, like all wealthy people, is primarily concerned with influencing a large number of people through their services or products. Think about your favourite celebrity. They are wealthier as a result of the increased popularity of their films and webseries. This is what your favourite sportspeople are doing; they are exposing their abilities and performances to a larger audience. 

Do celebrities and athletes work harder than regular people? Most emphatically not. They, however, make more money than they do. How is this even possible? Popularity and the number of people they influence are important factors in making money.

Hard work does not have a monetary value. You cannot make more money by simply working harder; if it works, the majority of the population will become wealthier because the majority of the people are working hard.

Consider yourself, what you are truly doing, and how many people you are influencing. Maybe you are working in a job where you are only serving your boss and the company. 

Principle 1 

The more people you impact the more you money you make

As a result, they become wealthy at a very young age. Never chase money and begin influencing others.

Add more value to people

You are compensated based on your perceived value and the number of people who perceive your value.

People who are wealthy add more value to the market, which is why they are paid in millions.

JK Rowling, the world's first billionaire author, added value to many people through her Harry Potter series. That's how she made a billion dollars.

Her book has sold 400 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 55 languages.

She did not have a good upbringing, being the child of a single parent and as poor She worked very hard to get Harry Potter published after it was rejected 12 times.

Her burning desire to add value to people earned her a billion dollars.

How much importance do you place on adding value to people? It is critical to be concerned with adding value to people.

Otherwise, your chances of becoming wealthy are minimal.

Your current salary is determined by how much value you bring to the company where you work.

Principle 2

Wealth is depend upon how much value you add to the people.

Everyone wants to be wealthy, but we are all pursuing an obstructive goal. In order to get rich. We should stop chasing money and start adding value to people. But most of us make hasty excuses for not doing so.

Every person born on the planet has the potential to become wealthy because we are all capable of adding value to others. Instead of asking, "Can I," say, "I Can" 

You can also become rich by adding value to everyone and positively impact a large number of people. 

The entire world desires the best.

The world does not want people who are average at everything; rather, it wants people who are exceptional at one thing. Consider the wealthy individuals; they will excel in one area but not in all.

Be selective and become a master in one area, rank among the top 1% of people in that field. 

In a nutshell 

Instead of chasing money, focus on adding value and impacting people.

The greater the value and impact you create, the wealthier you will become.
