There’s More Important Things
Making money is just part of the physical experience. Make it. Play the game. Use it as a tool. But always see it as that, a game, a tool. Not as the center of everything. Don't let it control you. Don't let material stuff possess you. Don’t judge every person you meet by the amount of money they make or how they ‘make a living’. Don't let success get into your head. Don’t let failure define your worth.

Every time I go to YouTube or Instagram, I am bombarded with ads from financial gurus about “how to make your first million in 12 months” or “how to 10x your income.”
It’s sad to see the modern world's focus on material wealth and success. No, it’s annoying. Young kids that don’t stop talking about billionaires and idolizing people only because of the amount of money they have accumulated. Regardless of the character of such people. The only thing that matters, is how much money they have.
How absurd is this? How shallow and narrow-minded?
Making money is not the purpose of life. It is necessary, obviously, but it shouldn’t be at the very top of our priorities. We have to outgrow that perception of life. And, according to the Yogi philosophy, we eventually will. But it will take time for the collective consciousness to get there.
