How do you prevent becoming discouraged or distracted when there seems like so many opportunities calling and so many people doing better
But on a less depressing note, I suggest paying less attention to the areas where people are “getting rich.” Money isn’t the measure of true value and you will rarely find a correlation between wealth and wisdom.
And how do you do that? Aye, there's the rub. I think you do it by having your identity and your happiness somewhere else. You need more than just "not there". You need a specific somewhere else.
For me, it's in Jesus Christ and his love for me. (I recognize that most people here won't grab that as their answer...)
Lots of people make lots of money and then don't hang onto it. Lots of people who seem to be doing well aren't. It's sometimes all appearances.
I definitely need more money than I've got but... I am not overly impressed with the people who "have dozens of friends and the fun never ends, that is as long as they're buying."
There's also the great song "You don't know how it feels (to be me)" by Tom Petty.
Search for a new job, invest in the stock market, etc. It seems like a great time to find a job.
Grow your skills so you can be of service to others.
These two things will make you most likely to become rich.
“Mastery of Love” and “Millionaire Fastlane” are two books I would recommend.
