Money is a by-product
Our task is to be useful through teaching, entertaining, inspiring, or informing.
When we choose one of these as a focus, we will produce more money than focusing on money as the primary driver.

5 Life Lessons Everyone Should Learn From Keanu Reeves
Don't let setbacks define you
A difficult start does not define the rest of your life.
Born in 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon, Keanu Reeves’ life began with an instability that would last throughout his childhood and tee...
Be generous
It can be more rewarding than riches.
Keanu is thought to have made about $110 million from Matrix, $75 million of which he reportedly gave to the special effects team and costume design department. He also bought the entire stunt team their own Harley Davidson motorcycles. Over the years, Keanu has also given millions to charities including PETA, the SickKids Foundation, and Stand Up To Cancer.
Let passion drive you
Keanu always seems to have put his personal ambitions, morals and preferences before simply taking a job to make money.
Perhaps the most famous example of Keanu’s ‘do what you love’ spirit is found when he dismissed $11 million to be in the Speed sequel or a chance to star alongside Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in the 1995 movie Heat. Instead he chose to partake in a small production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

How to Build Self-Esteem (And Does it Even Matter?) | Mark Manson
How to spot toxic self-esteem
Toxic self-esteem is easy to notice. One can see a disconnect between how the person sees himself, and how the world sees him.
It is your coworker who’s incompetent in their job but t...
Lasting high self-esteem
Self-esteem is how we think we are doing in our own worlds. It is made up of an internal valuation of ourselves. It cannot be an objective assessment, as we decide what our metrics are.
Prioritize your good self-esteem (for instance, how honest or compassionate you are) over the toxic ones (how nice your shoes are.)
Accept your low self-esteem
First, give yourself the headspace to work on a solution by accepting your feelings surrounding your low self-esteem. Your feelings are temporary. Accept them for the moment. Don't cover them up. Don't try to overcompensate for them.
Put your focus on the skills you need to acquire, not on how you feel.

Time Is NOT Money | We Need To Change Our Thinking | Time > Money
Time is not money
Even if these two share some connections, time isn't money. Time is energy, money is a thing. And they each have power over our lives.
Money is infinite but time is...
Disrupting the time-money relationship
Investing and passive income disrupt the time-money relationship.
To make money without having to trade any of your time frees up your time to ultimately do things that are more important to you.
The best investing strategy
- Make as much money as you can
- Keep your expenses low
- Invest the difference
- The more you invest, the faster your money will compound and bring you more money
- Sit back and earn money with no effort. You are no longer trading your time for money.
