- Have you heard of the saying that,
money doesn't buy happiness.
And I say neither does poverty.
A lot of people they like to make that connection.
Well, you know I would rather be happy than rich
or wealthy?
Or money is not that important.
Or that it's okay, like if we set our goals too high
then we will get disappointed.
I don't know about other rich people.
But I have been rich and I have been poor
and I can tell you rich is a lot better.
Better to film my video in a luxury SUV
than on a bicycle.
Boss on the bicycle would not look so good.
So what I'm talking about is,
it has nothing to do with that if you are a happy person,
money will make you happier.
It would give you more tools and more currency
to do things to make an impact.
If you are a sad, depressed miserable person,
more money will make you depressed, sad and more miserable.
It has nothing to do with each other.
People like to use that as an excuse to justify
their failures.
To justify their lack of ambition.
And they say well, you know what it's,
I just want to be okay, I don't need a lot of money.
I don't need to be wealthy.
And I just want to be happy.
What I say is, why not both?
Why can't you have both?
Why can't you be happy and wealthy
at the same time.
Why can't you be happy, wealthy and healthy
at the same time?
Why do we have to choose?
Why can you not have it all?
It's like the saying, well, you can't have the cake
and eat it too.
Then my question is what is the damn point of having
that cake?
You want to have the cake and you want eat it too.
That's what it is.
So we have a lot of these misconceptions
and lies and myths that people believe in
that are not true
and very often they are simple excuses
to justify.
That's all that it is.
They are justifications.
And I could tell you that most people who are successful
financially, most, not all most are pretty happy.
Most are pretty happy
because they don't have to worry a lot of things
that most people worried about.
You don't have to worry about the bills.
You don't have to worry abour your car payment.
You don't have to worry about your house payment.
So a lot of the struggles and the hassles
that a lot of people have,
a lot of the simple things that people are worried about.
When you are successful, when you have more financial
means you don't have to worry about those things.
You could focus on other things
that are maybe more important.
You could spend more time with your family.
You could help the people that they need help with.
So don't buy into the whole bullshit of oh,
are people happy or rather be, no, do both?
Be wealthy, as well as, be happy, right?
Don't buy into all that.
