When we speak of, "What Are Our Goals?" The most interesting thing that comes to mind is money... lots of money. But isn't money truly, 'the middle man?' Why wouldn't we instead LIST all the things that we truly want, and eliminate HOW we plan to get them. You can't live in a house MADE of money, you can't EAT or DRINK money, and you definitely wouldn't WEAR money on our feet.

Simply stated, 'Cash Is King!' We've been taught that money is the ANSWER to all the ails us. If you were in the market for a house, studies have shown that, if you were given the chose of cash, or the desired house of your choice of the same value of the money, THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WOULD RATHER HAVE THE MONEY. So why wouldn't you just 'cut to the chase?'

I'm guilty of this as well, so I'm not trying to psychoanalyze anyone here. It was just a thought as to where and what our goals truly are, and whereas money would not qualify as the end result. That is, of course, if you're like a 'Scrooge', and just allow your money to just sit there and 'stare back at you', forever!

That said, I had to rethink a certain goal, scratch out the money part, and I hung a picture of a shiny new, jet-black '2020 Jaguar' on my Wealthy Affiliate bulletin board! Now, I'm rollin'...These days, when I look at my board, I can actually 'see' myself driving this car... more so than seein' myself cruising' down the street... in hundred dollar bills!!!

Wow! great!

My problem, Cornelius, is that it would be 2029 before I'd be driving the 2020! 😝😝

Now that is what I call refining a goal. The 2020 Jaguar should be an excellent motivator to work your socks off.

That's very true, Cornelius. Money is the middle man... And yet, an important one :) There are some things you can't buy for any money, but others you can't get without it, and unfortunately, this latest include not only material things but also experiences.

Hi Julia, I'm up late tonight! Remember the saying, 'It is better to have money, and never need it, Than it is to need it and not to have it..."

Cheers
