Is the thing you want the thing you need?

Is the thing you want the thing you need?

Sometimes it is.
I need my husband.
And I want him.

Win-win.

I also want to have my retirement fully funded.
But that’s not what I need.
I need the stress and the grind of saving the money, investing the money and riding the roller coaster ride of investing in the stock market.

I need the struggle.
I need to make mistakes and then make course corrections.

The struggle is what makes me proud of the way I have created my own destiny.
If I inherited the money… if I won the lottery… the journey is not the same.

I need the struggle that creates the container for my personal growth.
With the struggle I learn.

I’m investing in my character.
