Reflecting on my relationship with money..
You know, I've been reflecting on my relationship with money, and it’s been eye-opening. For so long, I’ve carried beliefs about money that I’ve never truly challenged. Things I was told growing up, like “It takes forever to build wealth,” “Money is hard to come by,” or “You need money to make money,” have shaped my perspective without me even realizing it. It’s time to face those beliefs head-on.
At its core, my connection to money isn’t really about having tons of it or chasing after some huge, unattainable goal. It’s about the small, meaningful values it brings into my life. Like the freedom to create memories with my family, invest in my growth, or give back in ways that feel deeply fulfilling. It doesn’t have to be complicated—just understanding what money can enable rather than defining my worth by it.
I’m realizing it’s time to rewrite my story around money. It’s not about scarcity or grinding endlessly. It’s about focusing on the value I bring to others—asking myself daily, “What value can I add today?” Because money is a natural byproduct of serving at a high level, not something to chase. I want to live by my creed, showing up fully and giving my best, trusting that when I do, abundance will flow back in ways I might not even expect.
When I set income goals, I’ve learned to release the pressure of the when and how. The process matters more than the timeline, and I know that through consistent action and service, it will come together. But here’s the kicker: I need to respect money, too. Being intentional about my numbers—tracking them, knowing where they go, and treating money like it deserves to be in my life—is key.
Ultimately, it’s about staying grounded. Adding value wherever I can, living in a state of trust and abundance, and letting go of that “lack” mindset. I’m not chasing anymore. I’m here to serve and grow—and I know the rest will follow.
LASTLY --
And you know what? I’ve finally come to realize this: I deserve to make money. Not just for the sake of having it, but because I work hard, I show up, I add value, and I’m worth it.
It’s not selfish, it’s not greedy—it’s simply understanding that my effort, my skills, and my impact have value. And earning money is a reflection of that value, not my worth as a person.
It’s okay to own that. To stand in the belief that I deserve financial success because I’m putting in the work, serving others, and making a difference. Money isn’t the endgame—it’s a tool. A tool that lets me create, give, and live the kind of life I want. And honestly? That’s worth celebrating. 💪💰
