Compound interest includes both value inflation from governments printing money and actual earnings/payments from assets.
Owning something that earns while you sleep does tend to increase you ability to focus on what is important.
Sadly, I'm not sure anyone who is wealthy has what I would call a focus on what is important. Terrible situations, failed marriages, relationships with kids, etc..
