The main main 3 things I’ve learned from roundtripping 8 figs in my early twenties:
1: The people you hang around (also online) will shape your worldview and actions more than you probably realize.
Jealousy from others will infect you. Greediness from others will infect you. Any bad habit from people that you allow in your circle will leak over to you and will be able to shape your worldview and kill your progress if you are not careful. Be very intentional with who you are in contact with or get close to at all times…
1 Corinthians 15:33 “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.”
Especially when things are going well people will show their true nature.
The vast majority of people you are with (if you are not extremely intentional with curating your circle) are either competing with you or trying to use you. It is not worth trying to impress people you didn’t carefully choose to be in your life. If you feel like you need to impress people in general there’s a lot of inner work to do, which leads to point 2…
2: Be grateful no matter what and rely on principles.
Abundance and lack, I’ve experienced them both. And I can say goodness isn’t just found on the side of abundance. There’s many people that have an ideal worldview or dream they worship above anything. That vision is NOTHING is you don’t build on principles. Your character, integrity and authenticity are worth infinitely more than any perceived value that a fantasy or (realized) dream can hold. There are extremely broke(n) people that only possess money and nothing else…
The more money you make, the more your character is enhanced. So if you’re a complete idiot before you make money, if you see money that is only enhanced. It works the same if you have shaped yourself to be excellent. In that case money will only enlarge your excellence… Self reflect at all times and know what you stand for. Focus on the things that matter if money didn’t exist… Money follows principles, it will allow you to KEEP money after making it instead of losing it simply because of lack of inner work.
3: Take accountability and accept grace
Whether you’re doing well in life or not, know that the majority of the things that happen in your life are strictly related to how you perceive life, and how you act based upon that. Whether your worldview is shaped by trauma, losses, your upbringing, previous generations or anything else… You are the one responsible for your life. Taking accountability is the first step to healing from big missteps/mistakes.
Without accountability there’s merely avoidance….
Living your life avoidantly is one of the worst ways to operate as a human being. You HAVE to be present/conscious in order to live a decent/good life, any type of fleeing from reality or responsibilities is a waste of your years and will keep you small/stuck. After rawdogging the pain that comes with great losses/mistakes and accepting it, you can start to heal.
After acceptance comes RECEIVING grace. Grace is available to anyone that ALLOWS themselves to make use of it. There are people living in bondage for most of their lives because they are unable to accept grace that is freely available to them. Whether it sounds cliché or not, accepting that you make mistakes and that is okay as long as you learn from it allows you to move on from anything eventually. You are not God Himself, so don’t hold such a high standard no matter how your previous experiences in life shaped you. Many of the beautiful things in life are not found in a luxurious/lavish lifestyle or proving people wrong… They are found in peace and dignity. Not a single outward factor is able to replace this inner work that only comes from true acceleration by authentically choosing to do what is right. Materialism or comparison is simply not worth stressing over. Money and wealth will flow to people that don’t put worthless things on a pedestal.
Hope this helped you
