For an American, if you tell somebody that somebody is 6 feet tall or 7 feet tall we know exactly what that means. Or if somebody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only 3 feet or 4 feet tall or 5 feet tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Or a thing with the British, they talk about stones like how many stones you weigh. Losing or gaining a stone, the American has no idea what this means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> or with weights, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not really a weightlifter, if somebody tells you that you could lift 1000 pounds, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not gonna really know what that means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> therefore money\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The goal to accumulate like $1 million, $2 million, 1 billion, etc., it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kind of a bad goal because it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really mean anything. Once you hit the goal, It is a bit anti-climatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Also my goal was to lift 1000 pounds and I did it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And I feel great, but now what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Therefore as a simple idea\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 <strong>The goal isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to hit a certain number, but to just never stop stacking!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>so I think with finances, weightlifting, powerlifting etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 So much of our values and goals and stuff is with a certain number.
