What’s Next?
What's next for me? A lot of pretty amazing things. I can say the same in confidence for you. I am consistent and determined. I used not to be; I can genuinely say I faked it until I made it in many areas of my life. That comes with consequences, though, so I wouldn't recommend it.
There was a point when I was not living as I was preaching or portraying; it caught up with me, which was a midlife crisis kind of mood. Now, I love who I am. It is a work in progress in many areas of my life, but I can be honest about it.
I have messed up my credit three times. The first was identity theft, the second co-sign, and the third was taking on too many family members and allowing them to live off my hundreds of jobs. I worked to pay all the rising bills to provide for capable people.
I have five people I need to bless when I make it financially where I want. They had supported me when I was foolish in helping a capable family group, younger and very naive, or just overall doing good for user kind of people. Their patience with me has been God-sent, and I am forever grateful. I have had to cut off and block many people, family included. My heart was too big, bigger than my pockets. I learned, not quickly, that being selfish is a necessity!
What things do you have to change, and what people do you have to let go of or distance yourself from to reach your goals? How often have you put yourself or your financial well-being in jeopardy of others?
Wake the heck up, and let's get to it!
When I thought I was saving time in exchange for cash. I thought I was balling out of control. I no longer shop as I used to. I thrift; I wait to buy items until the big sale comes and have coupons for the majority. I instead take the time to save the money because I lost a lot of money and have nothing to show for that time or money I wasted. Time or money is what it equals, too. Is your money saving you time, or is it just the appearance?
Here's to what's next.
