Covey, if you reach an admirable end through the wrong means it will ultimately turn to dust in your hands.  This is due to unintended consequences that are not seen or evident at first.  The example he gives in The 8th Habit is:  The parent who yells at their kids to clean their rooms will accomplish the end of having a clean room.  But this very means has the potential to negatively affect relationships, and it is unlikely the room will stay clean when the parent leaves town for a few days.  Now, to return to the topic of wealth, I think it is possible to see much of the world’s current financial problems as stemming from people who wrongly believe the ends justify the means.  My advice?  It is fine to aspire to wealth, but don’t lose sight of the means to accomplishing it.” – via The Change Blog [...] [...] Don’t let greed and deceit get the best of you. – “According to Stephen R.

When one knows that they are building upward instead of heading towards a negative result, they are propelled forward. Staying below one's means could be seen as the way to get movement occurring.

When I began reading the 2nd part of this post, it was then that I realized I really like this blog! I believe that the true source of anyone's wealth resides within their own creative spirit. Financial wealth, to me, is a byproduct of the wealth of creativity and integrity inside of them. However, wealth, when it is attained by any means necessary often leads to what we are currently experiencing. Sadly, it is how the Super Wealthy get even wealthier, buying up equity for pennies on the dollar. Attaining wealth without restrain is greed unleashed! I too, am someone who is interested in attaining financial wealth. This article cautions me and reminds that I must carefully examine my motives and my means for attaining it!
