Everything Works.
In life, you’re going to run into a lot of people with a lot of opinions. Everyone has their own narrative. Some will swear it’s better to lease a car; others will tell you to buy it. Some will say renting a house is the smartest move; others will say owning is the way to go. One person will advise you to avoid the sun, another will say sunscreen is essential. Eat this, don’t eat that. Sleep this many hours, wake up at that time.
It’s endless.
Add in the financial advice: some will tell you to buy Bitcoin or invest in stocks, and that saving cash is a mistake. But sometimes, having cash on hand is absolutely key. Others will insist real estate is the golden ticket to building wealth, while some will swear by small businesses or climbing the corporate ladder. And then there are influencers who’ve built careers online.
And when it comes to retirement savings, some will say you must max out your 401K or Roth and always take the company match. Others might argue that it’s okay to prioritize other financial goals first. Sure, there are best practices we all know—like smoking and drinking aren’t great for your health—but some people’s bodies can handle it and still live a full, vibrant life.
It’s all out there, and it all works.
The real question is: what works for you?
Your job isn’t to follow the loudest voice or the trending advice. It’s about filtering the noise and taking in what resonates with you. Sure, listen to others, but don’t feel pressured to follow their path. They have their own biases and experiences.
So, go through life with your eyes wide open. Discover your core values and what you genuinely want from life. Then choose the path that aligns with that.
Because at the end of the day, remember:
Everything works.
The only thing that matters is what works for you.
Get it Done.
