If I ask you what you want out of life, your first answer will most likely have something to do with money -- lots of it. You want to win big at the casino. You want to hit the lottery when the jackpot is at $200,000,000. You want big funds
! Right?
Wrong!
Think about it. If your ultimate goal in life is to be rich, what are you going to do when you achieve that desire? Remember -- a goal is the final destination of a journey. When you reach your target
, youre at the end of your journey.
Example: Right now youre in an ongoing dispute with your next-door neighbor. You dislike her with a passion. She makes your home life miserable. You win a lottery jackpot of $132,000,000. Remember -- that was your target
. Youve reached the end of your journey. Only theres still a problem. Youre surrounded with stacks of green paper but you still have the identical
neighbor.
Example: Right now youre struggling to keep food on the table for you and your family. Many nights dinner is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Your wants is funds
. You think that will fix everything. A distant relative dies and leaves you a bundle. Since youve reached the end of your journey -- your wants to be rich -- everything should miraculously be perfect. But wait. Your wants was just to have money, so unless you and your family may gain a taste for raw green paper, youre still going to be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Do you see where I am
going with this?
You thought your wants was to be rich. If you had enough funds
, all of your lifes problems would disappear.
Thats not the way life works.
If you cant stand your next-door neighbor, your desire isnt to be rich. Your target
is to move. Sure, you might
need a lot of funds
to move to the perfect house in the neighborhood of your dreams and furnish it with the best of everything. So, yes, you need money. But you do not
plan to get the money and sit around looking at it.
You plan to spend it.
And what you want to buy with that funds
is your real wants.
If youre hungry, your desire isnt money -- your target
is food.
If your car stops running, your wants isnt funds
-- your target
is a new car.
If your roof is leaking, your target
isnt money -- your target
is a new roof.
