 Selling Your Soul for the Chase of Money

It's time we had a heart-to-heart conversation about the relentless pursuit of money that seems to engulf our lives. Society bombards us with the idea that success is synonymous with wealth, and we often find ourselves on a never-ending quest to accumulate more and more of it. But, let me ask you, is that truly the essence of life?

 

They say some people would sell their souls to the devil for money, and ironically, the world daily teaches us to do just that. We're conditioned to believe that success hinges on our ability to work tirelessly, striving for an ever-increasing bank balance. Sure, we're told success means more than just money, but do we really chase happiness, joy, harmony, and peace with the same fervor? Do we place those pursuits at the core of our existence?

 

No, we don't. Instead, we've built our entire lives around the pursuit of money, thinking it's the key to unlocking the doors to a more fulfilled existence. We postpone investing time in our overall well-being while we're caught in the relentless chase. We ignore the subtle cries of our bodies as they scream out in exhaustion, burdened by the constant worry about money or the lack of it.

 

Our bodies pay the price, succumbing to sickness, illness, and pain, and yet, we persist in pushing ourselves to the brink for the elusive pursuit of wealth. We hit pause on our mental, physical, and emotional health while fixated on the dream of financial abundance, believing it will usher in the good life we yearn for.

 

But in this relentless pursuit, we unwittingly miss out on the beauty of life happening right before our eyes. Time slips away unnoticed because we're too busy chasing money, getting further and further away from our soul's true purpose.

 

If selling your soul to the devil for money had a definition in the dictionary, this, my dear friend, would be it. But it doesn't have to be this way.

 

It's time to embark on a transformational journey, one that takes you back to your soul's purpose, one that helps you redefine success. We must remember that success isn't just about the accumulation of wealth but the richness of experiences, the depth of our relationships, and the fulfillment of our true desires.

 

Let's step away from the relentless chase and take a moment to reflect on what truly matters. It's time to rekindle the love for life, to cherish every moment, and to nurture our well-being. The pursuit of money should not cost us our health, our happiness, or our connection with our soul's purpose.

 

Are you ready to rewrite your definition of success? Are you ready to break free from the soul-sapping grasp of the relentless pursuit of money? Your soul, your body, and your future self will thank you for it.

 

With love and a heartfelt commitment to your transformation.

Always Grateful and Happy,


Thank you,

CEO of me

  Dear Me, As I sit here on the back porch of the sanctuary I now call home, sipping on a cup of soul-warming coffee, enveloped in the soothing embrace of reggae music, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Grateful for the person looking back at me in the mirror, a person I've come to be genuinely proud of over this past transformative year. This year, I made a conscious effort to observe myself without the harsh lens of judgment. Judgment, I realized, was my signal that I had stumbled upon a trigger—an opportunity for self-discovery. Instead of condemning myself, I chose curiosity. I delved into the why behind these triggers and uncovered a tapestry woven with threads of self-abuse, rejection, resentment, guilt, and unworthiness. It was a daunting revelation, but one that I faced head-on. In the chaos of negative emotions, I learned the art of pause. Life, I discovered, unfolds more effortlessly when we heed the warning signs and allow ourselves redi

Facing the Truth

  Dear Me, It's time to face the truth. The truth that you have been avoiding. The truth hiden behind the veil of unworthiness and preceived damage. As your soul.... I'm here to speak my truth....So here it goes..... I just want you to know how special you are. You often look at yourself thinking you made bad decisions in the past. But you didn’t. You experienced situations that made you be you. We all make choices; some we love, others we hate. But that is not a direct reflection of you as a person. Your heart is pure. You do things from a place of love. You have always seen the best in people when others see the worst. You have always been the champion of the underdog because you know what it feels like to be the underdog. You wake up every day with an excitement of what the day holds. You spend your day filling people’s cups. Helping them see their value within themselves. You are the biggest cheerleader. You have always wanted to see people win. You never place judgment o

The Nagging belief of Unworthiness

-
  Dear Me, As I gaze at our reflection in the mirror today, I'm struck by the enduring desire we've always held—to be uniquely and unapologetically ourselves. We've consistently chosen the path less traveled, forging our own way even when it meant going against the grain. There's a certain exhilaration in being courageous enough to stand out, to articulate the unsaid with both grace and love. But there's a part of us that still lingers in the shadows, hesitant to emerge fully. I find myself wondering about the roots of that fear, and as I reflect, I see threads of it woven into the tapestry of our past. Growing up in a home marked by domestic violence, we learned the art of invisibility—stay silent, don't draw attention. Being a Native American brought its own set of lessons, teaching us to shy away from the spotlight for fear of danger, even death.   Childhood beatings and the echoes of being told that children should neither be seen nor heard added anoth
