Before the excitement of a new year, I am looking back over 2019. Wow, I wasted a lot of time. And it was glorious. A full calendar year without the nose to the grindstone. I read a Medium article today, Seven Signs of True Wealth.
The seven signs, according to the author:
- You don’t have to go to meetings.
- You don’t have to spend time with jerks.
- You’re not caught in a cycle of status games.
- You needn’t show up in set locations at set times.
- You don’t feel obligated to say “Yes.”
- You don’t have to worry about “Energy Vampires.”
- You’re free to choose your commitments.
I never realized how wealthy I am. Actually, I do. Because true wealth… is really true freedom. 2019 was a year of true freedom, as was much of 2018. Have I spent all of my time wisely. No. But I enjoyed it. And spent much more of my time wisely versus those still living the corporate life. I walked away from generating more money, increasing my monetary wealth while handcuffed to the machine. “Wise” is in the eye of the beholder. And I beheld freedom.
And now comes the obligatory… HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
