The Consistently Rising Tide Of Wealth
Money is a really fascinating concept.
No matter where or when you get a bunch of people together, they're going to come up with some form of money.
Sea shells, cows, salt, you name it, people have used it for money.
But what is it really? Since it can pretty much take any form, it's not the actual substance of any particular money that's valuable.
It's what it represents.
A kind of potential energy.
Just for the sake of argument, let's say that we're using salt for money.
Now, normally, salt is just plain old salt.
Something you put on french fries or popcorn.
But in a society where salt is money, it means something totally different.
Everybody agrees that salt is worth something.
The more you've got, the more "stuff" you can trade that salt for.
In this sense, it's a kind of potential energy.
Like the raw energy from the sun, or the relentless power of the tides.
Only the potential energy in money is easy to get.
Instead of building some solar panels or sea turbines, with money, you just need to trade it.
If you've got some, you can trade it for whatever you want.
If you want some, you've just got to trade whatever you've got.
And just like the never ending energy from the sun, or the never ending energy in the tides, the potential energy of money is unlimited.
Since money comes from people, who create and trade stuff, and people are pretty much unlimited in what they can create and produce, the circulation of money will only increase.
After all, only a couple thousand years ago, there wasn't much money in the world at all.
Now the world GDP is 100 TRILLION dollars.
And unlike the energy from the sun, or the tides, which will last a long, long time, the amount is pretty fixed.
Sure, the amount that we can tap will go up, but the actual physical amount is fixed.
Since the sun is of a fixed size, and the oceans are of fixed sizes, the energy flow from those will stay constant.
Not so with the flow of money.
That will ALWAYS increase.
Both on an individual level, AND on a global level.
The more you create, the more you trade, the more you participate, the more you'll get.
It's a pretty unbreakable law of human nature.
No matter where you are now, you'll get more.
Now matter how much you've gotten in the past, you'll get more.
All you've got to do is learn specifically how it works, how to increase your skills, and how to train your subconscious to look out for opportunities, and your OWN tide of money will ALWAYS be rising.
