Knowledge's Wake-Up Call

More than Just Existing

By Afro DDPublished 6 years ago 3 min read
Think positive to create the happy atmosphere you have always wanted.

Life has been a constant motion of going to work and going home or home, work, then school. Everyday I repeat the same routine and I would kindly like for it to stop. However, money still needs to be made because I do have a wonderful little kiddo so continuing seems to be the best option.

Towards the end of 2020 something told me that there was more I could be doing and naturally I went on a hunt. Oddly, It was not a hunt for money but instead for happiness... that also somehow came with a paycheck. I searched to have my time back to do as I pleased.

Different financial learning opportunities kept popping up in front of me but each one I had to learn then execute weeks down the road or I had to pay for them. I wanted something I knew I would always enjoy doing. *Scrolling* *Scrolling* and more *Scrolling* I came across nothing I felt attracted to. True, that I am always willing to learn, however, knowledge and the pursuit of it should lead to profit of not only the soul and good conversation but sometimes it should also lead to profit within your pockets.

Therefore, I dedicated 2021 to be my year of knowledge, happiness, and freedom. Learning what I can. Earning what I can. Enjoying what I can.

I will get to the days where I sit in a giant swing overlooking the forest or constructing some kind of project with the rest of my family and even conducting a girls trip of my own. With the knowledge that I gain, I will manifest the 2021 version of myself that I see getting out of bed at 7 am every morning to do more than go to work.

So far I have found a few tactics that I would like to try out like affiliate marketing, dropshipping and of course writing. I have been writing for a while but I never thought to do anything with it but in recent times I have thought to myself why not turn a hobby or a newly learned skill into something that pays as well as lets me have time for other hobbies and teachable moments for my kiddo? Giving myself the time to work on myself lets me prepare the best foundation I can for my little tike.

This year will be the most active for not only myself but for the tiny person I am raising as well. A mind so active, so quick in learning, needs to be cultivated and sent in the right direction for a better life in an ever evolving world. What better way to start that kind of ascent than learning for myself and teaching the kiddo rather than learning the hard way. The universe says I am heading in the right direction therefore I will take what I can and make the very best of it.

I have to say that 2021 will be the year of knowledge. Finding happiness, success, freedom, and love from the world around me and making my own dreams come true. Everything will fall into place the more I find out about reclaiming my time and distributing it the way I see fit. Loving the time I get to spend with my family and friends while all at the same time being able to lift everyone with the shared knowledge I get. As said in the video above, success and happiness does not come from riches [although it aids] but it comes from the relationships we hold with others. Fulfilling a dream means not to only help myself but to help others around me be happy by also giving them the tools to smile as I do.
