Greetings!
As funny as I may sound, and despite the many arguments surrounding the subject of being successful in life, whenever a man mentions success, the first thing that comes to people's minds is money(being rich or wealthy). This is because money answers all things. Like I said, no matter how we argue about this, the factor of money takes precedence before other thoughts like, "Is he married?", "Does he have children?", "Does he have big investments?" and so many others.
The world (including you and I), no matter how decent we want to appear, first of all, considers money as the primary symbol of success because it can give birth to almost everything else in life—apart from 'life' itself. However, even life can be prolonged with the availability of money. Or don't you think so? With money, a sick person can easily get good medical attention and be healed, except in cases where their health is critical, and death is inevitable.
Well, for people who say money is never a source of happiness, we know that's true. But let's be honest: most of us want to have the money first to confirm for ourselves whether it brings happiness or not.
Why all the sermons?
When I woke up this morning, I had the assurance that this week is going to be a successful one, and one of the things my mind settled on is making plenty of money in whatever form it will come. Oh yeah, I thought about health and the workload, but my mind focused greatly on the money that's coming—maybe through my offline work, maybe via my blogging here, or even through crypto. I am intending to take risks again, like I did two weeks ago. By the way, I have a financial advisor already.
Have you heard SUCCESSFUL by Trey Songz and Drake?
If I'm not mistaken, this is the only song I know by Trey Songz, and I'm not shy to admit it because I'm not actually a fan of foreign music. I got to know this song way back when I was in secondary school, and the chorus was like an anthem and words of assurance for me:
"I just wanna be... I just wanna be successful."
Okay, the song is all about being successful, but it focuses more on money. You see, the subject of money can't be taken lightly when it comes to a man aiming to be successful.
Trey Songz wants money— not just money but an excess of it— and many cars. That’s what success means to him. This can be part of what being successful means to me too. I said part of it before you come at me.
The song is a very old one, but it remains evergreen to those of us who knew it back then. You should add it to your collection.
So this is me motivating myself, and also motivating you, the one reading this. Let’s maintain a positive mindset as we grind through the new week. Oh! I'm not usually one to talk about motivation, but I’ve passed my message.
Thanks for reading.
