why when i speak practical people look at me strange?
when i say "just think positively" they brush it off, am i deranged?
so accustomed to the struggle, "being broke ain't nothing funny."
as if happiness and things of value only come in form of money.
i know you cant give happiness as a payment when your rent is due.
& nothing in life is free, but should money be all that we pursue?
were we created to work our *** off, pay bills then die?
or live our lives to the fullest & appreciate the highs.
the lows are distracting,
they are the cause of struggles we go through.
money doesn't run the world, people with money do.
why do we believe that money is everything?
that it is the only thing that we need to achieve.
when with life values you become blessed, & the universe gives you everything you need.
there's beauty in the struggle because there's valuable lessons,
don't chase the money, chase your dreams because your passion holds your blessings.
don't feed into the 'perfect picture'.
why the rich become richer?
why the poor never see more?
what we really living for?
don't let money determine your happiness,
don't let it make you, control yourself.
life is full of riches, money ain't the only wealth.
speak abundance in your life,
worry less & you gain more.
find out what your purpose is,
find out what you really living for.
