🧠 The Biggest Lie About Wealth
Most people think wealth is about how much they have. In reality, it is about the relationship between what you have and what you believe you need. That gap quietly shapes how rich or poor life feels.
🟡 We feel wealthy only when what we have is equal to or greater than what we think we need
🟡 Both what we have and what we think we need change over time
🟡 What we think we need usually grows faster than what we have
🟡 This is why even very rich people often never feel truly wealthy
As time goes on, income grows, assets grow, experience grows. But expectations grow even faster, fueled by comparison and shifting standards. The gap stays open, and dissatisfaction lives there.
The happiest people still build and progress, but they are careful with their desires. They define enough for themselves instead of borrowing it from others.
Wealth is not about chasing more forever.
It is about controlling the gap so life stops feeling like a race with no finish line.
