The first chapter made great sense to me as it talked about
how most people separate their soulful lives from their financial lives.
Soulful lives & financial lives
So what exactly does soulful or financial lives actually
mean?
Much like a moral compass, soulful lives refer to the morals
and beliefs that guide many of us to do the right or ethical thing. On the other hand,
financial lives refer to the greedy behavior that many have towards money.
Soulful lives VS Financial lives
In short, there is a stark difference between the two, and
during the quest to attain wealth, many end up sacrificing one to attain the
other. Don’t interpret it wrongly
though, this does not necessarily mean that one would have to do immoral things
to attain money (such as con others for wealth).
This could also mean that parents end up working so hard to
earn money that they forget about their kids at home to fend for themselves.
I think it is important to always realize why we are working
in the first place. Whenever things get too stressful or we have to make big
decisions that involve money, we should always take a step back to see if the
prospective money is worth the sacrifice. Don’t end up in your last days
wishing that you worked less or spent more time with your family.
