Money Can’t Be The Only Thing

In my past and today, it seems as if money is the only thing slowing me down. My entire existence can not be defined by such an arbitrary thing. I know it’s needed for survival, for living, and more importantly for thriving. Yet, the relentless pursuit of such an object can not be the only thing. It has to be the by -product of fulfilling my purpose. It must come from placing a monetary amount less than the value of the solutions I offer to others.

Additionally, I can’t let a lack of money be the sole or primary reason I don’t move forward. That’s truly been a reality. I’ve always been creative, yet my inability to follow through, my inconsistencies, my sloth, and my lack of financial resources, yes money, are all part of my reasons for not being further along the path to financial freedom. The interesting thing is varied exposure to industries and individuals who’ve taught me what’s needed. I hear and learn the lessons, but for one of the many reasons I mentioned earlier, I didn’t apply the lesson.

Maybe the most important reason for not being further along is something I didn’t mention. Money was never important to me. I’ve had limited success in practically every endeavor I’ve undertaken. A couple things would always happen when it was time to elevate to the next layer. One was my sloth would kick in. Another was I didn’t have anybody to share it with. Lastly, the false illusion that I could always do it later. None of those are true today. I’ve learned different. My experience tells me to become the ideal version of me and my ideal woman will appear. Sloth is basically nonexistent since discovering my purpose. Today is all we have. There’s no guarantee for the next day. My motorcycle accident made that crystal clear.

As I sit here writing this out, something just popped into my mind. If money is the only thing and as a result of acquiring the money, I get to do what I was created to do, then and only then, money can be the only thing. Not sure how that sits with me since I’m too busy writing to really process those words, it’ll marinate and manifest something more in depth at some point.

Today, Tuesday, April 9, 2024, I am grateful that:

Physically I’m getting better. It’s the one thing constantly on my mind. More than anything else, I want to be normal or as close to my normal as before.

I was able to converse with a few friends yesterday. It’s great to have some that’ll call and check on you. Those friends that’ll make sure you’re ok, rain or shine, are the ones worth investing time and energy into.

The project for posting my gratitude list is coming along nicely. I should be able to get everything completed and launched before month’s end. I surely hope others receive the same or similar benefits that I’ve gotten from these lists.

Are you obsessed with one thing? Money, a relationship, a career

How does that affect the rest of your life?

Do you think you’re better for focusing on that one particular thing?

How will you success in that area benefit others, today and in the future?

Would they benefit more if you were readily available today?

Abe,

Be Greater!!!
