I remember walking past a bank as a kid, with a group of other kids. One kid looked at the bank and suggested that we rob it, other kids chimed in describing everything that they would do with money. I on the other hand took another approach, I simply stated that, “I had enough money”. I was one of the youngest kids in the group and I was also the only kid to host a job that summer.
What stands out from that situation is how mature my mind was at such a young age. Yes it was stupid of me to state “I had enough money”. The goals in are life is simple, earn as much as you can, save as much as you can, and give as much as you can. But money can’t make you happy, only strong relationships can do that. I had great family and friends, with amazing stories and bonds that could connect through the toughest of situations.
Which is another reason why I have always been very particular about investing in my friends talents, not to control them but to liberate them. My friends are some of the most magical people in the world, they can create/manifest like none other. But we were a product of a lack of therapy and an abundance of confusion. So nurturing was never an option for many of us. Most of us had to succeed before the thought of failure could ever exist. And once we failed (because it was almost inevitable), the cycle lack of nurturing cycle only continued and now we had a difficultly forgiving ourselves. The most painful form of pain is the inability to forgive yourself.
This is the reason that I started Third Blokk; one to assist in providing financial forgiveness for those of us where failure is a death sentence. And also to produce a community where practical finance is of application importance. Now please note, I am not building a system to fit into another system. Instead I am building to assist to be 10x better than the current system. And I know that it possible.
