Money isn't EVERYTHING

Wow. Today I got offered a high paying job for an investment firm as an executive assistant. A job that's twice as much more than what I make at my job right now. Most that would take the offer in a heartbeat..However, I declined. 1) I love my job (internet marketing) now, and I have a huge passion for it. 2) I can't leave my girl and my family (I would have to move to Texas).. Even though it's a sacrifice, it's a sacrifice that's not worth it. Nevertheless, this job offer gave me the confidence that I'm capable of making a lot of $$ since I was offered this job . But again, I'd rather be in a field that I LOVE to do more than the chase of $$. Because I strongly believe the $$ will come along if you have a strong passion for something and you work your ass for it!

    money is a form of energy . it is the default form most humans use to get what they think they want .

    when you know what you want . and/or you can tap into forms of energy most people do not use or even know exist . you do not need as much money to get what you want .

    for many though once they tap into the other energies they will have more money than before . but that only comes after you do not need money .

    Passion in what you do really matters.... money isn't everything!. After all, wealth is a mindset. It'll come and will be flowing as long as you keep bringing values to the marketplace and helping other people! Amen!

    Bravo! Good decision.
    The people that surround you is much more important then the numbers that show up when you check your bank balance.

    Cheers,

    Theres a lot to be said about about enjoying your work instead of earning a nice salary. You sound like a wise person

    All the best to you

    Ah yes...the American dream is to buy your family lots of stuff like houses, cars, and a new pony for your kid. But if you are always working and never able to spend time with your family it kind of defeats the point doesn't it.

    The time is something you can never get back.
    With your mindset, you will make the money anyway. Keep the faith and believe in your passions
