		<description>I love how the first related article linked below the main one is &quot;Why Unmaterialistic People Should Want To Get Rich.&quot; Proof that all self-help articles and advice can be given that feel-good slant.</description>

		<description>I love the article. I don&#039;t think my goals are materialistic, I actually think my life is well balanced between materialistic and more spiritual goals. I use this pretty cool tool on my iPhone to plan my goals and keep track of the tasks that are necessary. It&#039;s called Dream Planner:

		<description>[...] Are All Your Goals Materialistic Ones? I can&#8217;t think of a single major goal I have in my life that&#8217;s materialistic aside from wanting a home in the country (and the reason for that isn&#8217;t an ostentatious home, but one more in line with how we live). Almost all of my goals revolve around experiences &#8211; spending time with people or engaging in activities. It seems so natural and normal to me now that I sometimes almost feel uncomfortable recalling a time when my goals were really materialistic. (@ pick the brain) [...]</description>

		<description>Yes! Great article. There is this law of attraction craze where anyone thinks that if they just put up a vision board and visualize their goal it will manifest. Unfortunately, it doesn&#039;t work like that.

The law of attraction is ever present and always working. The law of attraction also responds to our feelings and vibration. Like this article said, it&#039;s not the &quot;thing&quot; that you want, it&#039;s the feeling that &quot;thing&quot; will bring you.

It&#039;s far more important to live with a purpose and become the person you want to be. Purpose and &quot;being&quot; are timeless and they will live on forever. &quot;Things&quot; come to an end and are really never ours to begin with. We are just temporary custodians for our things. 

To become successful at being the co-creator of your life you must figure out what you&#039;re meant to do on this planet and focus on creating the feelings you want to experience. Then, the law of attraction will work with you, rather than against. 

Great article, you hit the nail on the head 

Peace and love,
Nick</description>

		<description>yes you are right, we usually want money itself to achieve something else. money isn&#039;t important but the things it brings are the ones that are really important (in this case freedom) and that&#039;s why people strive for it</description>

		<description>Hey Ali. Thanks for this nice post. I&#039;ve also read The Success Princiciples by Jack Canfield and also found a lot of good advice in it too. 

I agree with you we want what money brings us. For some people, it is material things such as like you said, watches and yachts, but I think people who have this mindset will have a harder time achieving money.

When you have a deeper reason to want money other than for materialistic purposes, such as for more freedom, for more happiness, for more prestige, or even if it&#039;s just for the challenge itself, it provides motivation for a person to get there because there is more value for the person.

For me, I know any materialistic thing will lose it&#039;s value over time and thus doesn&#039;t motivate me as much to go for it as to something else such as the challenge of finishing something difficult. But everybody has their reasons for wanting money and even materialistic things can help motivate them to getting there. 

I mean just take a look at the story of John Reese, who wanted a Porshe since he was younger and ended up not only buying one, but was able to make a million dollars in one day. That one materialistic dream of his pushed him to visualizing it everyday which eventually got him there.</description>
