Passive Income is a Myth

Passive income is a myth.

Anything that makes money needs your active, ongoing involvement.

When we say we want “passive income,” what we mean is that we wish to own assets that will help us to escape the time-for-money hamster wheel.

More specifically: assets that can fund your living expenses.

My ultimate goal is to escape the trading-time-for-money machine.

And live an incredibly simple life full of healthy relationships and rich experiences.

The thing is: We all want this.

We all sense that this nonstop assembly line way of living isn’t serving us well.

Think about it:

Back in the day when we were all farmers, do you think everyone was working 8-hour days during the fall and winter?

No. Because food doesn’t grow in the fall and winter.

This is why we feel like slowing down around this time of year.

It’s in our generational DNA.

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to stop feeling guilty for resting, reflecting, and saying no.

I’m going to exchange shame for faith:

Faith in my intrinsic value allows me to multiply my talents and go after what I want.

Not every season is a growth season: some seasons are about pruning, mourning, grieving, and letting go of things that no longer serve you.

Here’s to embracing the slow. 🍻

And knowing what season I’m in.
