Humility plus Will : Two Factors that encourages wealth building

Whenever we think of wealth, some of us, think of it, the way those who get into new money do, and not how the old money does. New money likes to flaunt their newfound gold, you'll find them wearing them down in clothes, pieces of jewelry, cars, houses, etc.

Old money kept their stash secrets. They understood there are so many people in the world who would want to lay their hands on their stash, so they hid their existence perfectly well.

When you are trying to build wealth, you will often get lucky on the way, what you do with this luck will determine if your money lasts longer or if it gets taken from you. As long as money is a tool in the hands of everyone, someone will always want to take yours and add to theirs. They may kill if they have to, break in and make away with it if they have to. They don't care, all they care about is how they can reduce your stash and increase theirs.

So, when you have the will to search for greener pastures by putting in the effort to make money and create wealth, you are going to need another factor to favor you. Humility. Like Morgan, said, the fastest way to have less money is to show that you do have. Building wealth requires that you stay humble no matter what happens to your stashes, whether they increased by the hour, by the day, or by the month.

This will keep you and your money safe, long enough for you to turn them into fortunes. But if you decide, you just got into new money, and you've known poverty for so long, so it only makes sense if you flaunt it, then go ahead, and watch how a lot of people will always find a way to subtract them from your hands.

It's not a mere coincidence, that when certain people become wealthy, a lot of people want to identify themselves with them. Some of them come around to take from them. Some end up with lawsuits and litigations from individuals who want a part in the stashes. Some of these individuals come with things that might have happened in the past and they knew about.

They use this information as threats and bait to reduce the number of your staches. Some of them are so wicked and bad that they won't stop until everything finishes. They keep coming up with new methods and stories using those secrets to lure you into their web and leave you struggling to get out alive and free again. At this point, what you will really want to do is hand off the money and return to your peace of mind.

I think this is where some folks start believing the lie that money is not everything. And this is because of the pain, agony, and anguish that they faced the moment they got lucky and had access to money. Do you also think like this?/

Then you should remember you placed yourself in that situation. Living stealthily and below your income will not attract the mice. Flaunting and leaving much sugar where the ants can find them will.

So, while you are pursuing wealth, remember to not do so with the will alone, but carry humility along. It will keep you and your money safe.
