Hey, it’s 2:12A.M. as I write this post to you right now. I wanted to remind you that life is much bigger than money.

I know what it’s like to feel worthless because I didn’t have much money. The justification for my worthless feeling in the past actually never made any sense to me. I mean itt's nice to have money but someone shouldn't be treated like dirt just because they don't have a lot of it.

There I was growing up hearing all these great things about my 'bright future' only to still experience being broke and looked down upon by society. People laughed at my vision for years and even my own mother couldn’t see my ambition. But I have reason to believe that a lot of the hurt I experienced is what made me the man I am today so I am not bitter about it.

Here's the realization I had some years back that helped me: I can’t let the amount of money I have determine my self image. 

Money is great to have but it’s not the end all be all. It is simply a tool that has perceived value that WE (the people and the government) place upon it. In fact, it is merely just a piece of paper at its root.

Just because you aren’t able to buy the hottest car or go to an expensive restaurant with your date or own multiple houses across the country or pay off your parents debt, doesn't mean you are any less important than the next person.

So why do we go so crazy for money?

Why do we want money without first developing the core things that bring in money?

Why will we go as far as hurting our brothers and sisters over money?

Why do we treat people a certain way based on the amount of money they make?

Why do we let money divide us?

Why do we let money get to our heads?

The reason is because we are flawed as a society. Our priorities and what we find to be important is all screwed up. Money was here when you were born and it will be here when you die. The things we place value on actually has no true worth, while the things we overlook again and again are the things we probably should be paying more attention to.

Is it better to focus on Money itself or other things that are eternal?

For example, we are so conditioned to ‘chase money’ instead of simply setting up systems and businesses that ‘generate money’ for us. I would much rather teach people how to make money in a fun way that is fulfilling. Instead of having people sit inside of a cubicle all day waiting for 20 years to past before they realize it's TIME TO LIVE!!!!

But don’t get it twisted, I’m not saying money is of no importance and that it can’t help you change your life, I’m just saying there are far more important things we can focus on to build ourselves up internally, help people…. and bring in lots of money at the same time.

Things like: 

  1. Knowledge
  2. Health
  3. Love
  4. Unity
  5. Education
  6. Protecting our children
  7. Protecting our women 
  8. Uplifting our Men 
  9. Creating content that shares truth etc.

…It may seem logical to focus on MONEY itself instead of all the great above-mentioned things money can’t buy…

But it isn’t.

For example, let’s look at something like ‘knowledge’.

Knowledge is 100X more valuable than money will ever be but so many people underestimate the power of knowledge. Many people don’t see how investing into their knowledge will cause transformation in their lives. Even the Bible says "Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold." Proverbs 3:13-8

With knowledge, we can change the world and really be on the verge of creating a utopian society.

With ignorance, this is not possible.

If you started to focus on getting knowledge that you can use right away to see improvement in your life, mindset, and finances then automatically you will be more prosperous.

Automatically you will feel better just from having more knowledge.

And even if you lose the money, guess what? You have the KNOWLEDGE to get it back.

Nobody can take the knowledge and skills you’ve gained away from you.

(Ironically this is coming from a college dropout so I’m not the smartest one out of the bunch lol but what I do know is that school isn’t the only place to get an education or to learn something)

Also there's LOVE….

With Love, we can work together, look out for each other, share great teachings, and be of service to others.

With Love, we can help the homeless and feed the hungry.

Love is FREE!

There’s literally no motivation in life without having LOVE for something or someone. Who do you love? What do you love?

My love for content creators and ambitious entrepreneurs is why I am on the mission I am on to help free them. My love for seeing people reach their higher self is why I started the 300toFreedom movement. It's much bigger than money. My love for my family and friends is why I will never give up on my dreams. Although many people don’t believe in me, there are a handful that still do and their love helps me push forward. There is enough money to go around if we focus on LOVE.

Are you seeing how LOVE is healing as well as profitable?

Are you seeing how LOVE is far more valuable than money?

So my point with this post is to show you how focusing on ‘just’ money is a distraction. It’s a distraction that will have you feeling lost and depressed like I used to feel and I don’t want that for you. It's a distraction that is leading society to more vanity and less integrity. Focus on developing YOU so you are always operating at a level that attracts money to you. Invest in yourself, live life, and create your story on this blank canvas we call LIFE!

You could have all the money in the world but if you lose yourself, then what is it worth?

Nothing at all.

TOAST TO YOUR SUCCESS,
