It's quite a seductive promise, isn't it: ‘more is better’.  
  
But this delicious quote from Lynne Twist (author of *‘*[*The Soul of Money*](https://amzn.to/47TDn9n?ref=gilespcroft.com)*’*) kind of sticks a pin in it. She says:

> *“When we buy into the promise that more is better, we can never arrive. Wherever we are, it is not enough...because more is better.”*

I remember the first time I heard this quote and it just stopped me dead in my tracks; something I relate in this little video clip, lifted from my [Video Masterclass](https://payhip.com/gilespcroft/collection/video-masterclasses?ref=gilespcroft.com) on the topic of Money.

Just let that sink in, because it's something that I think a lot of us (me included!) just take for granted… and of course it's ‘I'll be happy when…’ in another disguise.

Could seeing the truth in this be the difference between a life of suffering, and a life of ease & grace?
