Follow Your Money: Your Money Is Not Your Money
Issue 13: 2-Minute Read + World Bank Fellowship + Fully Funded Mastercard Scholarship
Hi friends,
Happy Tuesday. Welcome to Issue 13 👋🏾 - reading time is 2 minutes. 👌🏾
👉🏾This week’s issue is inspired by a chapter from The Prophet. Lessgoo 🚀✨
Issue 13: Your Money Is Not Your Money
👉🏾 your money is not your money
👉🏾 they are the fate of e-commerce websites, the destiny of mom-and-pop shops, and the future of banks
👉🏾 though they are with you; they do not belong to you
👉🏾 you may house their bodies, but you cannot house their values
👉🏾 you may give them your purse, but not your worth ❤️
👉🏾 for they have their own value, forever in flux, never stagnant
👉🏾 their worth is a dance💃🏼, guided by the rhythm of the market
👉🏾 unto supply and demand, their destiny is shaped
👉🏾 so my friends, cherish them, nurture them, and let them grow
👉🏾 but remember, they are not just yours to behold
👉🏾 their purpose transcends your desires
👉🏾 part of the journey, not the destination
👉🏾 your money is not your money
👉🏾 it is a force, a catalyst, a powerful entity
👉🏾 let it be a force for good, for growth, for impact
👉🏾 and watch as it weaves its way through life
👉🏾 But don’t just watch. remember…
follow your money, not with your head, but with your heart ❤️
