Setting very specific, measurable, short and long term goals is one of the few things that have helped my motivation.


That certainly seems to be true of people who get very rich or famous. That powerful want of more seems to be the common thread among most everyone who is hugely successful financially. It comes at a very high price though; once you get that powerful desire for more and more, you're unsatisfied even with ten million dollars. People make twenty million because ten million wasn't enough, they were still hungry for more. It turns out twenty million isn't enough either, so they live their lives hungry, never satisfied, never having enough. They only appear rich from the outside, but don't feel it. They also normally miss out on things that are vastly more satisfying than money. It's a high price to pay.

For me, I'd rather set clearly achievable goals to be financially sound, enough to comfortably pay the mortgage on a modest home and then enjoy the peace of mind and sense of achievement.
