I’m with Thug on this. The most valuable thing a man possesses is the ability to create life, it’s one of the few things that money can’t buy.
Choosing to permanently close that door is dumb imo. We live in a culture that treats fertility like an inconvenience instead of the ultimate gift.
Caller: “I’m 51 and i am tired of working, I have no retirement. What should i do”?
Dave: What do you make, and what’s your debt?
Caller: $75,000 a year. $25,000 left on my mortgage, and $20,000 on a Harley-Davidson.
Dave: Sell the bike. Today. That payment’s killing you. Any life insurance?
Caller: Term life, $100 a month. No kids, no dependents though.
Dave: Drop it! you don’t need it. Now download EveryDollar, budget every dollar, and find $2,000 a month to invest. Between the bike and the insurance, you’re most of the way there already.
Caller: That still feels like a lot.
Dave: You’ve got 10 years until 67. Invest consistently, your house gets paid off, and you’ll be secure
Dave says he can still be a millionaire, there is more time.
nigga jeezy came in the game “if its taking too long to lock up bring it back… you was short any way bring a stack” never seen somebody go solo so fast LMAO
the man who loves walking will always go further than the man who only loves the destination. you’ll never be free until you realize this. it was never about the destination. it was about the person you become while chasing it. the ones who fall in love with the process are the only ones who survive the pain, the boredom, the uncertainty.
we spend most of our lives trapped inside other people’s expectations. making decisions based on approval, but the more we live for their validation, the further we drift from ourselves. i think somewhere along the way, we stopped listening to our own inner voice and started trusting fear, opinions, and comfort more than our own instincts. but the truth is, life was never meant to be walked that way. we are meant to enjoy the process.
the universe gave you a compass, not in your pocket but in your chest. and it’s there for a reason. sometimes the hardest but most important thing you can do is trust that feeling, keep walking, and learn to love the process instead of obsessing over the destination.
