Never Make Money The First Reason
Illustration by me.
In pursuing financial success, it’s easy to slip into the mindset that making money should be our primary motivation. However, prioritizing profit can often lead us into a self-imposed prison, where our passions and values take a backseat to the relentless chase for wealth. You may find settle for way less than you should and feel drained.
True fulfillment comes from aligning our work with our deeper purpose and values. When we focus on what truly matters—be it creativity, community, or personal growth—we find the journey more enriching.
I admit to making the mistake of putting money first in my Why. And let me tell you that I paid the price. Every time feeling like I was stuck and the servant of the situation. Money, while important, should serve as a tool to enhance our lives rather than define them. By shifting our perspective to prioritize meaningful experiences and contributions, we liberate ourselves from the constraints of mere financial gain. Ultimately, it is this genuine passion that fuels sustainable success and happiness.
In choosing purpose over profit, we not only enrich our own lives but also inspire those around us to seek their own paths of fulfillment. Remember, when we let purpose lead the way, financial rewards often follow naturally as a byproduct of our commitment to what we truly love.
