People who are rich have simply learned how to monetize their anxiety.

I’ve read a lot of books and autobiographies by people who are wealthy and they often mention things like intelligence, innovation, discipline, timing, focus and networking. However I find myself noticing a reoccurring theme in many of their stories, they are often driven by an almost chronic feeling of hyper-vigilance, worry about missing out or falling behind, restlessness to achieve no matter what, concern for other peoples opinions of them, and many other variations of what I would call anxiety. This leads me to wonder if rich people have simply learned to monetize their anxiety because it drives them to achieve academically, professionally, socially, athletically and the like. While the rest of us who struggle with anxiety are typically debilitated, rich people have used their anxiety to achieve financial superiority.
