Money vs Love

Doing what you love, providing for who you love. Damn cold combo, sometimes in life God gives us the ability to do one in the same. For most of us however, that very well may not be the case. So do we measure success by doing what we love while providing for who we love? Or do we define success by doing what we initially set out to do? But wait, who defines success?

Websters merriam? Or is it defined on what our mother & father told us? Webster says its favorable or desired outcome or the attainment or wealth & or favor.

My mother told me success is what I make it. Who the hell does she think she is to give me that kind of power? Damn I love that woman. She instilled at a very young age that I choose to definition for success, & the crazy thing is I'm giving my children that same exact definition. Now that quote "success is what you make it" is popular & I'm sure we all have heard it at some point or another in our lives, however the point I'm getting to is that she gave me that jewel when I was an impressionable snooty nose kid, now I sit here at twenty three thinking that the world will someday be mine. I'm making moves quietly, I'm definitely making moves, but as I make these moves & I begin to see all the other crabs make their own attempt to the top, I'm seeing that we all are in search of success. In some way shape or another we are all searching for it.

For myself its not money. Fuck the money. You all can have the headache & drama, I'll take the loving family, world traveling & good food. Everybody is in search of that bag full of millions while we don't even take the time to see the love & priceless shit around us. Its crazy, I can blog all day about the Love vs Money aspect of life, & trust me I wont be the 1st person to do so & I definitely wont be the last. But at the end of the day shouldn't money only be a tool to be happy? So if happiness is key then why kill, die, cry, gamble, waste, stress, devote, overwork, obsess, over analyze & judge base off of income? Like I said Earlier fuck the money. Fuck it once & fuck it twice, I rather stress over spending time with my wife opposed to dollars and cents. Now of course we all need money to live, I'm not declaring the beginning of my hobo state I'm just simply saying is it worth losing love? The answer will be no every time.

At the end of each day, my greatest accomplishment is to be able to say I spent at least 80% of it in love. Success for myself is to be able to spend that love in my heart with the ones who deserve it. Another reason why I'm so hard to fuck with, because I will not waste that energy on people who don't deserve it. I'm aspiring to do what I love to provide for whom I love, however if I cannot, spending time with my loved ones will definitely suffice. We all want money, the tangible thing that our governments have created. However we all need love, the one thing that our creator sparingly gave us, the one thing that some of us may never get a chance to see, the life force. We need it. Money vs Love? The debate should be dead by now. Success is what you make it, so with that being said may you all be very successful in life.
