The Slow Crawl

James Altucher once wrote…

“Money doesn’t make you better. It doesn’t really increase your freedom. It doesn’t make you more lovable. It just magnifies what is already inside of you.”

When you read a statement like that, it prompts you to wonder, “Okay, so, what’s inside of me?”

Could it be charity, sensibility, and wise investment? Or maybe there are greedy and reckless streaks lurking around in there?

The same could be said for fame and success. All these things do is wait around for some insides to magnify–both the good and the bad. Think of the overnight internet sensations and how quickly their skeletons gets exposed. They are a vapor.

The money and the success are not sufficient pursuits. They never satiate.

In fact, they’ve transformed countless warm, passionate bodies into cold, empty shells. Because once you get the first taste, it’s difficult to know when you’ve had enough.

We cannot fear the slow crawl.
