Understand that your desires will be there. Desires lead to anger (either when they’re unfulfilled, or once they’re fulfilled and you’re on to the next thing).

Understand that your desires will be there. Desires lead to anger (either when they’re unfulfilled, or once they’re fulfilled and you’re on to the next thing). When you’re angry, you’re not going to think straight and end up confused, and when you’re confused, things go awry.
Also understand that ultimately you are not in control of what comes into your hands, and at any moment things can completely explode. So try not to work for the sake of what you get out of it, but try and enjoy your work for work’s sake.
Ultimately if you proceed in this way, true understanding will fill the space that your unfulfilled desires currently occupy. And if you can genuinely devote yourself to that mindset, your desires will melt away and you will truly find what you are seeking in wealth.
