Happiness is the real rich. Health is the real wealth. Kindness is real cool and peace of mind is the real bag.

 

There was a time in my life where I got caught up in a lie.

-

I was constantly out there chasing the wrong things.

-

I thought I was a big shot. Millionaire, driving a dope car, blowing money on booze and bottles at the club on the weekends.

-

Then the economic crash of 08’ knocked me flat on my back.

-

I lost everything. My cars, my wife of the time, my home went into foreclosure and there I was alone, in a hotel room, wondering how I’d managed to lose everything.

-

It was in those moments I began to realize what was most important to me.

-

Things that I’d known all along but had ignored because I was enticed to look and feel a certain way.

-

I’d put my faith in things that were material, things that will rot and age.

-

It was in those moments I knew there truth. That happiness was what I was after. True, lasting happiness.

-

In those moments I felt the real stresses of losing my family, not being able to provide for my daughter with one on the way.

-

I would trade all of the money in the world for them, for peace of mind and family.

-

And sometimes that what it takes, a humbling experience to live in those truths.

-

I just pray you learn these things now and not when it's too late.
