⚠️SPOILER⚠️ ➡️ it’s not “climbing and donuts” 🧗🍩😅

* * * * *
Growing up, it felt like 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 wanted to be a millionaire (fast forward to realizing a million dollars isn’t actually a lot of money), while also being adored like a celebrity — only to “grow up” and realize that the real thing we were seeking was a balance between: 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 and 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲. ⏳💰🔋

You can have all the 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 and 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 in the world, but no 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲; or all the 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 and 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 in the world, but no 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞; or all the 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 and 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 in the world, but no 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲.

Honestly, it’s days like this — running back to back climbing sessions after training jiujitsu the day before with some pros, then grabbing some treats on my way back home after spending time in between sessions with family, while knowing my wife is happily pursuing what she loves before I see her again at night, and knowing that tomorrow I’ll just have to “turn on my laptop for work” where I strategize and create art all day in an attempt to encourage and support young people in bettering their lives — that I realize: 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨. 🧙‍♂️✨

Now, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳🫵 expression of success doesn’t need to look like 𝘮𝘺🙋‍♂️ expression of success (in fact, my wife thinks I’m a bit 𝘵𝘰𝘰 go-go-go 🏃‍♂️😆), but the key is making sure you don’t overly focus on one variable so much so that you lose sight of the other two — because the real is, 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 is a balancing act between: 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 and 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲. 🔓🔑 🫡
