CommentaryNo guts, no glory -- and other cliched-but-effective ways of becoming a millionaire
I've been married for 10 months. Although we don't plan to have kids until we're 26-28 or so -- I'm 23; Katie's 22 -- who knows what'll happen. And yes, there are things we want and things we want to do and ways we'd like to reach out and help the world. And we want to ensure a secure future and all that jazz.
That said, unfortunately, money determines everything today. It has for a long time. I often wonder why we've allowed that to happen; I often wonder how it happened in the first place. But that's not important, because it's not changing. What will remain constant is that money is that ever-constant necessity, unfortunate as that may be, thus I need to make money somehow.
What's important is remembering that what I do to make money does not define who I am, and that it's passion, not possessions, that makes life fulfilling.
I found this article on, of all places, Yahoo!, about self-made millionaires, many of whom were broke and, to be quite honest, in places in which I would have probably panicked. Props to them, and may we all be so brave as to follow our life's true passion.
The quote of the article: "For the rich, it’s not about getting more stuff. It’s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want."
My passion is discovering and sharing stories to entertain, inspire and move people. What's yours, and why?
