There is no value attached to the job, so you try to give your life more meaning. So you have to buy things to attach value to your money. The hole got harder to fill, so you fill the hole with possessions. It became desperate, your search for fulfillment. My life is a cautionary tale

When you live your life by poor standards, you inflict damage on everyone who crosses your path, especially those you love.

Life is not about the possessions you have, but how you take care of those possessions

Act as if! Act as if you're a wealthy man, rich already, and then you'll surely become rich. Act as if you have unmatched confidence and then people will surely have confidence in you. Act as if you have unmatched experience and then people will follow your advice. And act as if you are already a tremendous success, and as sure as I stand here today - you will become successful.

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.

But what was wrong with that? They were drunk on youth, fueled by greed, and higher than kites.
