Short Link to this Quote:
Mike Tyson seems to be saying that having no money or possessions meant he felt truly free from worry or obligation. When he was poor and had nothing, he did not feel constrained by responsibilities related to maintaining wealth or property. So in a sense, having nothing meant he felt liberated and able to simply live in the present moment without concerns about financial security or material goods.
