Money cannot buy creativity. Thus, to have a
net worth of over one million dollars, put a value on your
creativity. Your creativity and ability to generate new
ideas and deal with life's problems has to be worth over one
million dollars.
Accept that you will never have enough money
to solve all your problems. If you can't accept this, then
you aren't clear about money. People with great amount of
money have just as many problems as the rest of us —
sometimes more problems than the rest of us. Just read the
daily newspapers and you pay attention to all the trouble
rich people are in.
Here are some quotations to put money into proper
perspective:
