Everyone loves to spend money! The powerful feeling of novelty…
Purchase something new, something different, something especially significant… and you temporarily feel excited, renewed, maybe even improved.
Nevertheless, you can do the same thing with a fresh idea…
The difference between buying something new and a fresh idea?
Buying something new simply feels like progress… while a fresh idea is the very definition of progress.

If we don’t have a job… then we’re desperately seeking one. If we have a job… then we’re frequently worried about losing it.
If we don’t have enough money… we constantly worry about making more. If we do have a lot of money, we’re frequently worried about losing it.
If we don’t have something… then we set to work trying to get it. Once we get it… we immediately set to work trying to obtain something else.
There’s no perfect scenario… enjoy the moment, enjoy the pursuit and realize you never arrive.
Or maybe – just maybe… it’s not that we never arrive, perhaps, it’s that we’ve arrived already.
