There is a pattern you may have seen, participated in and still ongoing. The pattern of get up, go to work, pay bills; get up, go to work, pay bills. People’s lives are forever controlled by two emotions: fear and greed. Offer them more money and they continue the cycle by increasing their spending. This is what is reffered to as "Rat Race".
Most people have a price. And they have a price because of human emotions named fear and greed. First, the fear of being without money motivates us to work hard, and then once we get that paycheck, greed or desire starts us thinking about all the wonderful things money can buy. The pattern is then set. We are in the Rat Race. And while it was so easy to get in, most people never make it out.
Over the years, many people have vowed that they would love to follow the Rich Dad message but they can’t because they’re caught in the Rat Race. They go to work. They pay their bills. They get further in debt and as a result, they go back to work again—day after day after day. What they fail to realize is the real reason they are caught in the Rat Race. They fail to recognize that why some people make more money and escape the Rat Race all goes back to a person’s ideas. The Rat Race Taboo is those thoughts that keep you in the Rat Race
When people think about escaping from the Rat Race or even making more money, they oftentimes come up with sayings like these:
“I can’t start a business. Are you crazy? I have a wife and three kids to feed.”
“I can’t wait five years before I get another paycheck.”
“I don’t have any money to invest.”
“I need more information before I do anything.”
“I tried that before. It will never work.”
“I don’t need to know how to read financial statements. I can get by.”
“I don’t have to worry, I’m still young.”
“I’m not smart enough.”
“I would do that if I could find the right people to do it with me.”
“My husband would never go along with that.”
“My wife would never understand.”
“It’s just too late for me.”
“It’s not worth it. I’ll never be rich anyway.”
When people come up with those kinds of objections, there’s some validity to it. The reason there is some validity is because most people have been trained to think like employees. They’ve never been taught how to be business owners or to develop the financial skills necessary to be rich.
The second reason people are not able to escape the Rat Race is simply that they don’t have control over themselves or control over their emotions. If a person cannot control their emotions or control themselves, then escaping the Rat Race is very difficult.
The problem in the world today isn’t the lack of money, it is too much money. Too many people think there isn’t enough money to go around. The reality is that it’s so easy to raise money. Why would anybody say there is not enough money? When I say to people it doesn’t take money to make money, what I am really saying is that it takes creativity and some technical skills. For example, many of us dream about having a home out in the country. I had that dream, too. I wanted a place to get away from it all. The difference is most people say they don’t have the money and let go of their dream. They simply say, “Well, I can’t afford it.” And that is why they will always be poor. I, on the other hand, asked, “How can I afford it?”
“I can’t afford it” comes from a self-centered, small thinking point of view. If you want to be rich, think big and then think bigger.
All of you were given two great gifts: your mind and your time. It is up to you to do what you please with both. With each dollar bill that enters your hand, you, and only you, have the power to determine your destiny. Spend it foolishly, and you choose to be poor. Spend it on liabilities, and you join the middle class. Invest it in your mind and learn how to acquire assets, and you will be choosing wealth as your goal and your future. The choice is yours, and only yours. Every day with every dollar, you decide to be rich, poor, or middle class.
Choose to share this knowledge with your children, and you choose to prepare them for the world that awaits. No one else will.
You and your children’s future will be determined by choices you make today, not tomorrow.
I wish you great wealth and much happiness with this fabulous gift called life.
