Money is a charlatan. A trickster. And it is oh, so good. 

It says, “Look over here,” and we do while it pockets the card with its other hand.

We fight over it in our personal lives. We fight over it in our public and political lives. We bluster, yearn, blame, and chase. 

We say it doesn’t matter, yet we fashion our lives around it. We put it on the vision board as the goal.

But money isn’t a worthy goal. It’s not the end. 

It’s the means to an end. 

Money’s superpower is as a tool.

Once you recognize the real power of money, you stop chasing it for its own sake. You chase what it unlocks. You start chasing the real goal. 

But the goal? That’s still on you.
