Sidewalkers in my life are getting on my nerves, so here's my rant of the day:

A friend of mine is a high-income sidewalker. He is behind on his bills. So he did the smart thing, and went out and bought a $1,500 pure breed Great Dane puppy. Can’t flaunt his mad cash with a $120 low-mileage pup from the humane society afterall…

I asked him why he didn’t invest his money or start his own business. His response: “That’s too hard!”

Translation?: “I don’t value my freedom”

The sidewalk is alive and well in the U.S. of A!

Incomes:

So what about you? Do you see yourself in the stats above? Did some of that hit just a little bit too close to home?

Do you value your freedom, or is it “just too hard”?

Do your daily thoughts, actions, and choices reflect how much you value your freedom?

Do you still play mindless video games for hours on end?

Do you still waste time on social media and finding hilarious memes?

Do you read and educate yourself endlessly and never take action?

Do you buy stuff you really don't need and can't afford?

Do you still dream about winning the lottery or having that one epic idea that suddenly makes you wealthy?

Well…do you?

Here’s a hint: Your daily thoughts, actions, and choices ALWAYS reflects EXACTLY how much you ACTUALLY value your freedom.

So let me ask a better question: Does your daily process PROVE that you value your freedom? Which road does your daily process put you on? If it’s not the Fastlane, how much could you really value your freedom?

Or maybe, like my buddy said...it’s just too hard.
