The Symbiosis Of Wealth And Life
Many people think they need to choose between wealth and living their most fulfilling life. They feel this way because they believe that in order to build wealth you need to deny some part of yourself, or undertake actions that are contrary to your personal standards and morals. There’s a reason people feel this way, but it’s far from being the truth.
Not Either Or
The people who continue to believe this fail to understand one thing—being wealthy and living a fulfilling life is not an 
either/or proposition. It doesn’t even make much sense to say that it is. So why is it that so many people continue to believe this?
The reason it is so hard for people to believe that they can live true and be wealthy is their attitude and mindset. We become so conditioned to believe that being wealthy in some way means that you are a bad person, or have tread all over other people to build that wealth that we begin to look down on being wealthy. We build it up in our minds until we believe that it is nobler to struggle financially and work our way doggedly through life. This is all the result of what we have absorbed early in life, and even what we have been taught outright (…money is the root of all evil, money changes everything for the worse, money changes you, wealthy people are selfish and care only about making money….).
Living A Symbiotic Life
Unfortunately, we tend to believe these things for far too long. By the time we are once again seeking wealth, we need to spend a lot of time correcting these embedded attitudes so that we can create wealth. Doing that requires understanding that there does not need to be this either/or proposition, but that life and wealth are a symbiotic relationship wherein achieving the most fulfilling life requires having wealth, and you do not need to prostitute your beliefs in order to achieve that. You certainly can live well and be prosperous, and not have to hurt another to do it.
