Insight on Today's Quote
When you stop measuring success by what other people can see, it feels different. Success that is real is quieter. It shows in how peaceful you are, how free you are, and how you choose to spend your time. Money only matters when it helps you live the life you want, not the one you feel like you have to show off.
Today, take a moment to think about where your goals come from. Are they your own, or are they things that other people expect you to do? Success will feel better if you are more honest with yourself.
Step Up To The Challenge
Find one financial habit you do because you feel like you have to, not because it really helps you. It could be buying something to keep up, agreeing to pay for something you don’t need, or not making a choice because you’re scared. Stop, think about it, and then make a choice that is in line with your true values. (a, b, c, d, e)
