You don’t know what competition is until you have money to invest. That is why I am amused when people talk about competing to get money. The greatest secret is “the fear of the rich.” - It is wealth that stops growing because options have dried up. They are desperate for ideas.

The perception of the general public is that life becomes easier when you become wealthy. Wealth is not a destination, it is a lifetime journey to keep living below your means and growing your income exponentially. Wealth is a habit and not just an outcome.

“Wealth mentality” exists. It is not the fear of scarcity but the fear of not having enough abundance. It is a drive that is more often than not powered by human ego or belief in a mission much bigger than themselves. Wealth is about optimization in the midst of inefficiency.

There is a passage in the Christian Bible that never fails to lift me up and keep me motivated. Psalm 50:10 “for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.”

I literally imaging owning a thousand hills and cattle on top of them. Man’s limitations.

Our limitation is the physical and what that verse tries to illustrate is that what we think we have is not as much as the abundance available within the Cosmos.

When I imagine that abundance, I feel blessed and realize that everyone runs their race for a share of the Cosmos.

What we fail to realize is that “We are the abundance of the Cosmos.” We are the cattle on a thousand hills. We don’t need to try to keep a share of what was already given. It now makes me realize that I have a right to everything and all abundance.

We were all born wealthy until we start thinking poor. Asking is not about Jedi mind tricks. Asking is the greatest power man has but we ask for the wrong things. Solomon got wealth because he asked for wisdom.

Wisdom is the greatest wealth as it makes you realize that you already have a right to EVERYTHING. No wonder Solomon was the greatest baller that ever lived. Built a magnificent temple and made many women happy.

Asking is one word or two, and they have outsize effects. “Why?” and “Why not?”.
