SIDELINE ADJUSTMENTS TIP #2:GREED IS NOT GOOD!
GREED IS NOT GOOD!: Gratitude is the spiritual energy that attracts abundance to you. Never allow your stock market success to feed your ego. Rather, let success add to your generosity and gratitude in order to revitalize your financial future.
This advice comes from applying spiritual or natural laws of the Universe to your personal investment philosophy. When an investor is properly guided by an empowering philosophy towards money, investing, people, and life, it will automatically add to his or her chances for long-term financial success.
Always remember the universal wisdom behind the philosophy of “more life to all and less to none,” so that you do not get swayed into doing underhanded things that intentionally help yourself at the expense of others. That way, you can avoid getting sucked into destructive strategies (i.e., the infamous Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme or the shady financial dealings of the fictional Gordon Gekko character portrayed by actor Michael Douglas in the 1987 movie Wall Street who uttered the now-famous signature phrase “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.”) which are based more on personal greed than on the age-old universal philosophy of “more life to all and less to none.” (Note: The phrase “more life” means more increase in things of value. What all people essentially want is a better life with more freedom and abundance.)
Comment: This advice may come as a surprise or meet with heavy skepticism from several people. That’s because each of us has an inherent bias in our attitude about money. But a careful study in this area will reveal that true wealth and abundance over a person’s lifetime will be largely controlled by our deepest beliefs about how we earn , share, spend, invest, and enjoy money.
