[ Earned ]

25-Sept-2020

There will always be people who ‘fall into’ having lots of money, or who have great genetics and so are naturally good at something, or who mysteriously rise to positions of power without displaying depth or gratitude that should accompany it. 

The real win is recognising if you find yourself in one of those positions.

Unearned money leads toward being foolish with money.  Unearned flattery can lead to false pride.  Unearned power leads toward being disconnected and distant.

When you earn money or flattery or power (leadership) by adding value and doing good work, you’ll have more appreciation for it.
