A LESSON ON SUCCESS vs. TIME⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ To all you hustling entrepreneurs out there. Listen up.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ So...the year I hit my HUGEST financial milestone, I was disappointed. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ It didn’t feel like anything. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Actually, you know what it felt like? ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Pain, stress, constant anxiety attacks and mental breakdowns.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ A million massages and the therapist asking “can you loosen up, you’re quite tense??”⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I was always tense. My fists were always clenched.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I wasn’t a person anymore, I was merely a machine. ⁣Creating and working and being everything BUT in the present moment.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I decided to make the hard decision of closing my bookings early.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I longed for more time with my hardworking husband and my sweet hyperactive daughter.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Money doesn’t buy happiness.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ It only buys THINGS.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ That’s it. And you work yourself to DEATH trying to SUCCEED without truly living.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ The thing I truly wanted more than anything, was TIME.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I wanted time to dance in the kitchen with my daughter. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I wanted time to watch movies and hear my husband play the piano. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I wanted time to live in the now without working towards something that would only serve me temporarily.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Because stuff IS temporary.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I stopped buying materialistic things.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Quality over quantity.⁣⁣⁣ I have what I need, I have what I want, and that is enough for me.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Eventually, you have to come down from the sky. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Just because you can do everything doesn’t mean you have to⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I was watching a youtube video on this millionaire who spoke on his dad working himself to death. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ And he told his son, “I am dying and the only thing I want right now is time with your mother. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ When this surgery is over, your mom and I are going to travel the world while I still have the time.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣"⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ He died right after the surgery.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ So please treasure your time with the people you love. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣You never know how much TIME you have left.
AYE YA’LL TODAY IS THE DAY!!

I’m not really a romantic⁣⁣⁣ I don’t believe in soul mates or “love at first sight” kinda thing. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ If you want to be with someone, then you will.⁣⁣⁣ If you love someone, you will make it work. ⁣⁣⁣ Time and time again. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Five years is monumental to me.⁣⁣⁣ We’ve known each other 20 years officially ⁣⁣⁣ We first dated ten years ago⁣⁣⁣ And it all seems like a fun memory. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ We were just kids. 19 and going to college.⁣⁣⁣ But, here we are: married and with a kid.⁣⁣⁣ In this crazy life, who would have thought? ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I love you more today than I have the day before.⁣⁣⁣ I appreciate you for everything you do to help lift my load.⁣⁣⁣ I commend you on being an amazing father to ella. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I am so lucky. I am so blessed. ⁣⁣⁣ Cheers to forever, with you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #detroitweddingphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer#thehappynow#thatsdarling #theeverygirl #bossbabe#millenialwomen#communityovercompetition #darlingmovement#flashesofdelight#livethelittlethings#lovelysquares #darlingmovement#liveauthentic#thebabecampaign#shetheroar #femtrepreneur #girlboss#creativepreneur#womenonamission#calledtocreate#gritandgrace#mamapreneur#graceupongrace#womenintheword#lovegodlovepeople#goodnewsfeed#gritandvirtue#sheislight#lampandlight⁣⁣
