Rather than focus on money, live generously

This is exactly what Keanu teaches us through his actions, not what he says. You live generously not just by using any money you make for good, but by being generous with your time.

If you watch every interaction with Keanu and his fans on Youtube or Instagram, you’ll see that he’s generous with his time. The greatest gift he can give them is his time and attention. You have the same opportunity to live generously.

My research on money comes from being both financially rich and poor multiple times in my life. In the end, money isn’t really that important to me anymore and doing more research on Keanu’s financial behaviors and views on money reinforced that idea.

You can make $20M from Bitcoin, as a friend of mine did, and lose the entire lot through one unfortunate decision. What you can’t lose or have taken away from you — as Nelson Mandela learned when he was locked in jail — is who you are and the person you’ve become.

Live generously whether you have money or not and aim to teach, entertain, inspire, inform, or make people laugh.

That’s how you live the good life that money can’t buy and help people in the process who add joy, fulfillment, and a level of meaning to your life that will make you feel ten times better than money ever will.

Lovely article my dear. All you have said is totally true. We shouldn't destroy our personality all in the name of gaining money. Good work

This is a good article. Someone told me that “money does not exist apart from me literally” so after this I consider my actions. I was born without money and I will die without it..
