I am absolutely convinced that to RI$E up from a situation, you have to really hate the situation. If you can truly identify the root cause of what it is you hate, then you can essentially aim all of your passion and strategy and action behind attacking that thing you hate.
For me, I hate mediocrity. I hate the idea of looking at the daily mundane bullshit that other people take seriously. I hate the idea of having a "budget." I think that concept is for people who have never hustled a day in their lives. A smart hustler is certainly strategic with his money - however... the "budget" mindset just doesn't vibe with my personality at all.
These days, especially in the West, people are so damn entitled. There is a parable in The 48 Laws of Power that basically points out that people really don't give a fuck what you do for them. People are ungrateful. You can give someone a gift, whether intellectual, financial, whatever... You can give someone a gift, and that's pretty much a guarantee that the person will turn around and disrespect you. I think one of the parables in The 48 Laws says something like: When you see a stream flowing upstream, a favor is being repaid. In other words, favors don't get repaid.
On top of all this, men today are not allow to be themselves. It's like we walk around with our balls hanging perilously over bear traps. We're just so damn afraid to be men. Or maybe I'm just talking about myself. Perhaps it is just me who has these thoughts I can't get out of my head, ideas about how a woman should be treated by a man, and vice versa. Today's so-called "relationship" is completely out-of-whack with what I want from the fair sex. I'm really starting to look at the entire matrix and say that it's all a bunch of motherfucking BULLSHIT!
It doesn't matter, though, because money exists. Making money is the highest form of living. It is the best thing a man can do, and - beautifully - no matter what ugliness man has to face in the world, if he has money, he has a damn good fighting chance. That is why the wise man puts money over everything.
As for me, no human could ever possibly hope to have more love from me than money.
