There is also (as you intimated) a very big difference between 'I want to be rich' and 'I WILL be (or I am) rich'. There should be no doubt in one's mind about the achievement of such a goal - this, sadly, is where most people fail dismally. The race is lost, before they even start because, on some level, they cannot visualize themselves as 'rich'. As a follow-on from this idea, the concept of not putting all your eggs in the same basket is more or less emphasizing the fact that you don't really believe that you will succeed (at whatever it is that you want to succeed with) and, hence, the multitude of baskets, which, of course, split your energies, your goals and your motivation. The ideas are linked and are thought-provoking, both together and separately. In brief, it is important to believe - no, to KNOW - that one will be rich and to select one goal to this purpose and to exert all energies, time and motivation to this one end. Thank you for shedding light on an important topic.
