Grow Rich Responsibly
Who Are You?
I'm sure that there are a lot of people who are doing exactly what they want to be doing with their life. I'm not one of them. You're probably not either. So what are you going to do when that WA website starts paying off? I mean really start paying off. Thousands of dollars a month paying off? What will you do? Who are you?
Somebody a whole lot wiser than me said: "Money doesn't change you. It allows you to be who you really are." That's pretty deep. And it is so true. Many of us, if not most of us, to a greater or lesser degree, are pretending to be somebody we're not; afraid to say what we really think, feel, beleive, for fear of messing up the job, getting put out, being disinherited, or whatever.
Take A Personal Inventory
The point is, we can never be ourselves as long as somebody else has control of the purse strings. Sure, we've all daydreamed about what we would do if we had a million dollars, but what would we do over the long haul? If we are a selfish, obnoxious person, financial freedom will allow us to take that to new heights. Or better yet, new lows.
If, on the other hand, we have that proverbial "good heart," financial freedom will allow us to do some pretty amazing things. I'd like to think that I fall into the "good heart" category, but I have been known to get pretty obnoxious. The fact of the matter is, most of us have been dancing to somebody else's music for so long, we are either out of touch, or have never been in touch, with who we really are.
One way to get a good idea of who we really are is to employ the strategy that all of the best self-help gurus agree on: "Act as if it already were." Walk it. Talk it. The kind of human being that we really are will eventually show up. There will be some tweaking in order for some, some major overhauls for others, but it's time to prepare ourselves to join the ranks of the privileged.
With Great Blessings Come Great Responsibility
Sounds Biblical, but I'm pretty sure it's not in there. But that doesn't make it any less true. I have no doubt that WA is going to make me a wealthy man. Or rather, they are going to give me the training and support that I need to make myself a wealthy man. I'm grooming myself now to put my good fortune to good use.

I think that financial wealth can increase the wealth
of the heart. Because as you say so well, with our
own money we can better control our lives. So we
can perhaps be more serene and humble. It depends
on us.
Have a nice weekend!

This is where people who only do it for the money come unstuck. We need to hold onto our values and principles no matter what our cash situation is...and when the money comes in...knowing your values and principles will be doubly important. That is why I love the paying it forward idea!
