I want to be rich, but only to realize it firsthand that riches can never provide eternal satisfaction.
I want to be famous but only to experience it firsthand that it is not the answer.
I want to be powerful, but only to find out that only self-control and self-mastery lead to a fulfilling life.
I wish I could learn all these things from others, you know, vicariously. But I am not designed that way.
Moreover, going through all these experiences only firsthand will change me as a person, I believe.
I have always been ambitious and I have a strong desire to be successful in life. Mainly, I want to achieve a life of financial freedom, to be able to do whatever I want, and to have a life of luxury, albeit for some time.
But more importantly, I want to be able to use my success and fame to help those who are less fortunate. I want to be rich, famous, and successful, but I also want to use my success to positively impact the world. I want to use my success to empower and inspire people to follow their dreams and reach their goals.
In one sentence, I want to use my success, riches to help others.
And that too, I am sure of our genes, is for some selfish gain.
Takeaway
There is nothing wrong in aiming to be rich or being rich. What matters the most is your intention behind it.
