The Keep Going Men-tality

  For me, true wealth will never be defined by the amount of money sitting in my bank account. We live in a world, especially online, where wealth is constantly measured in numbers. Income. Cars. Houses. Watches. Vacations. Followers. There are people on social media who will make you feel “less than” if you do not see wealth the way they do. I have heard it more times than I can count. If you do not equate wealth with money, you must be a loser. You must not have any. You must not have accomplished anything. But I have often wondered if that says more about them than it does about me. Maybe the reason some people cling so tightly to money as the definition of wealth is because it is the only form of wealth they actually have. Maybe the void they feel, the lack of fulfillment, peace, connection, or purpose, is filled with money instead. Ever think of that? Let me be clear. I am not saying money is not important. It is. We need it to survive. We need it to provide. We need it to cre...

  Monday Morning Coffee Talk: A Needed Mindset Shift You’ve probably heard these phrases before: “You’re not special.” “No one owes you anything.” They’re often said like wisdom. Like motivation.

Your responsibility is to earn your growth, not to question your worth. You don’t grow by tearing yourself down. You grow by knowing you’re worth the work. “No one owes you anything” Another miss This one gets used to s...

  Was 2025 a hard year for you? Did you struggle mentally? Did a lot happen that you weren’t prepared for? Were there moments where you felt overwhelmed, lost, or stretched thinner than you thought possible? Were there times you wanted to give up? Times you didn’t think you were going to make it through? Pause for a second and remember those moments. Hold them in your hand. Look at them all at once. The nights you questioned everything. The mornings you got up anyway. The days you felt like you were barely surviving. The moments where quitting felt easier than continuing. Maybe you hit rock bottom in 2025. But here’s the thing that matters most… You made it. You made it through days you thought would break you. You kept going when stopping felt justified. You survived moments you once thought you wouldn’t. What you thought broke you didn’t break you the way you believed it would. Why? Because you are stronger than you realize. Stronger than your doubts. Stronger than the voices tel...
