It wasn’t until I had lived through three complete cycles of rise and fall that I truly understood money — my own ultimate awakening.
First, the most essential truth about money: you must have at least enough financial security before you have any right to casually claim you don’t care about it.
Because money has never been just a cold string of numbers.
Its meaning lies in the power it gives you to make more choices.
Only when you have enough money does your life have the capital to be carefree, detached, laid-back — to quit, to coast, to simply exist on your own terms.
Though in public settings, I’ll go along with the crowd and say things like “life is peaceful, money doesn’t matter.”
But as someone who’s been through it, I know better.
In this world, there are almost no everyday problems that ten million yuan can’t solve.
Once you have that kind of modest-but-meaningful wealth, you’ll find that while the world still won’t treat you like the protagonist of some grand story — you’ll have enormous room to maneuver, and the confidence to live freely.
And all those small, messy frustrations of ordinary life? You’ll have the power to simply sweep them away.
So is ten million yuan hard to reach for an ordinary person?
Hard, yes — purely through employment, it’s an absolute impossibility.
But not that hard either. If you catch one small wave of opportunity in life and grind for five or six years, you’ll get there.
My other core insight about money is equally important: if you find earning exceptionally difficult — struggling with everything you have and still seeing no improvement in income — that’s a clear signal. Either your thinking is off, your approach is wrong, or your environment is the problem.
In short, there is certainly an invisible “wealth tumor” — unseen but deeply destructive — quietly draining your life force.
I remember that in my own low points, the hardest part was always the initial breakthrough. Each time, I couldn’t figure out why things just wouldn’t work — and each time, there was a new, hard-to-detect wealth tumor quietly eroding my wealth fortune.
Family, friends, mindsets, ways of working — any of these could be the culprit.
Truly, unless you quiet your mind and do a full, honest audit of yourself, it’s nearly impossible to see where the problem lies.
And every time I climbed back up, it was only after I’d had the resolve to perform that surgery on myself.
To be clear — I’m not saying you should immediately cut off all family ties or reject everything about yourself.
But I am absolutely certain of one thing: the first step toward earning with serious intent is making yourself clean and sharp.
You cannot afford to be distracted or slowed down by attachments, noise, entanglements, and trivialities.
No matter how important other things seem right now, nothing matters more than carving out a legitimate path to earn.
What’s needed is a clear mind and complete focus.
When you carry this mindset, not just your wealth fortune but the God of Wealth himself will favor you — and help you forcefully break through the hard iceberg of poverty that has kept you sealed in for years.
