The thing about money is that to get it you need to act. Even if you win it in the lottery, you first have to play the lottery. Money is acquired as a result of action taken that yields money or has the potential to yield money. Money doesn’t just happen. You don’t get up one day and decide you want money as you might get up and decide you want water. You can go to a tap and turn it on and have water pour out, but you can’t go to a tap and turn it on and have money pour out.

One of the biggest differences between people who have money and people who don’t is that people with money tend to be less afraid of taking chances, less afraid of failure, less afraid of having people raise their eyebrows, wag their fingers and thumb their noses in disapproval of them and whatever actions they take to get their money. They go after what they want and usually don’t rest until they get it. They fully understand that money won’t just fall into their laps so instead of sitting around dreaming and hoping and talking, they go out and do what they have to do to get their hands on the money they want.
