Cancer Season

“Growing up in borderline poverty really makes any conversation about money uncomfortable. Couple that with adventuring into online business ownership, and money becomes a trigger you can’t avoid.

‍

Regardless of your circumstance, in our society money is the chosen tool of choice to exchange services with each other. You can do something for me I either can’t or don’t want to do, and in exchange I give you X amount of tools ($$$) to use for whatever you want. You will then exchange it for whatever services you need, and so on and so forth.

‍

Following this perspective of money being a tool has been helping me release the stronghold my childhood had on me. Seeing your parents struggling to take care of themselves and whole other human beings does something to you subconsciously.

‍

It makes you do whatever it takes to not have the same thing happen to you. And then you realize (at least for me), at the end of the day, we are all responsible for our own lives.

‍

I talk about this so much - we, you, me… I am responsible for my own life; you are responsible for your life. As an adult, you are responsible for yourself. At a certain point, you have to take that responsibility seriously.

‍

Do you want to struggle?

‍

Or, do you want to thrive?

‍

If you want to thrive, what are the things you need to do to thrive? This looks different for everyone. We are all unique in our own ways, so of course we’re all going to have different paths to living a life where it feels good, balanced, where it feels like we're thriving and not struggling to live, we aren’t struggling to exchange this tool (money) for whatever we need.

‍

And you know what the kicker is? The beautiful thing about this life is? We are born with those answers of what we need to do. Literally imprinted in the sky the moment we are born, exactly what we need to do to thrive, to stay balanced, healthy, feeling good. All we have to do is look at that map and boom… it tells you the story right there, gives you the tools right there.

‍

It’s fucking sweet.”
