Day 9
Last night I stayed up until 6 am, not on purpose I was just in a zone. I had some things on my to-do list that I was determined to get done and for the most part I completed them. Proud of me, but more work to be done. “I don’t got a hundred mill yet, I can’t chill you.” Money has always been a motive for me. As I got older, it became a little less important. Now my mental health comes first, so I definitely will take days off. Sit down or be sat down. You don’t really get that until you’re sat down, but the lesson there is to listen to your brain and body – they’ll tell you when you’re doing too much. (And this is from someone with the “money over everything” symbol tatted on them.) Money became less important, it’s no longer the only thing. I’ve come to know money as a tool, to get to where I wanna be. Also started breaking my money goals down into numbers: so what’s my amount to be fully satisfied and do everything I want? How can I get there? Gotta be specific with your wants and needs. Breaking them down makes it a lot easier to achieve. I need $250,000 for that house my momma wants, now what do I have to do to get there? Oh yea, deadline it. I wanna get that for her by 2024. So that’s a little over 2 years to get $250,000 liquid cash. How am I going to do it? Then just keep breaking it down into smaller “more achievable amounts” within the time frame.
There’s the lesson: if your goals scare you, break em down into pieces you can do each day. Just don’t ever give up on yourself.
