Need a Miracle? 🕊️

By Jo

Being spiritually poor is no joke, and when you add financial struggles on top of it, the weight can feel unbearable. I've been through both, and for years, I spent countless hours crying over my misfortunes. It wasn’t until I realized that the way out wasn’t through endless pity, but by holding myself accountable for every step I took. My fear of failure is so real that it drives me to work harder, push through, and escape the traps of both spiritual and financial poverty. Yet, there’s a twist to it. You may escape one form of poverty, but what happens when the people you love and care about don’t understand your journey? When they can’t see the value in what you’re doing?

This is where a difficult choice comes in: do you give up on those relationships, or do you keep trying to save them? I’ve heard countless times, “You can’t save everybody,” and I believe it to some extent. But my pride doesn’t accept “no” for an answer, and maybe that’s a flaw, or maybe it’s just who I am. I refuse to give up on the people I care about—perhaps that’s the “God” in me, so to speak.

At the same time, one thing I’ve learned is that when you feel good spiritually, everything else starts to fall into place. There’s a deep connection between your inner peace and your outer performance. When you’re aligned spiritually and feeling positive, you attract more positive outcomes. That energy radiates, pulling in opportunities, people, and situations that reflect that positivity. Your spiritual health directly influences your ability to perform well, think clearly, and push forward with a sense of purpose. When people ask why I’m so calm, it’s because I’m fighting a daily internal battle to conquer the chaos, trauma, and negativity.

At the end of the day, collaboration and ownership should be the goal. Every family or trusted group of individuals should have access to a pool of resources—whether that’s money or opportunities. But how can I preach that when I’m still finding my own way? Relationships must come first. If we don’t address the foundation of trust and mutual understanding, business will go nowhere. There’s no success without a solid foundation where everyone is moving in the same direction, sharing the same vision. We need to rebuild those bonds before we can build anything else. And it all starts with feeling good in your soul—because once you do, everything else tends to fall into place.

It May Not Be Much, But It’s Yours 🧑‍🌾

I remember the first time I bought a stock and received an email notification that I could vote on a CEO’s compensation package or something like that. I thought to myself, that’s crazy—my one little share of stock gave me voting rights.

Now, I understand my one vote is a teardrop in the ocean, but let’s scale that idea. Let’s get more ownership, more voting power, and perform a hostile takeover... I’m kidding, of course, but you get the idea.

Ownership is a form of power, and having power gives you options and more control over your life.

Adding the Right Complexity

Ownership is not without complexity; however, lack of ownership creates its own problems.

I don’t own a lot of material goods by intention. I have an older car that is paid off, and I prefer it that way. I remember the feeling of making a car payment every month, and I didn’t like it. Life is better without all of these debts to pay.

Let’s take the idea of buying a car but having a monthly payment for the next 6 years. It can create opportunity, but it also compounds your stress. It can look something like this:

• You hate your job—it stresses you out, but you need your car to get to work and make money to pay your living expenses.

• You need to continue to work to make payments. No payment? Bye-bye car.

• No car? Bye-bye job.

• You may live in a steady state of fear because most of your earnings go to expenses and unexpected costs (medical, car repairs, random surprise expenses) that add to your stress.

• Repeat, repeat, repeat...

What kind of life is this???

Hostile Life Takeover

Give me a quality used car, a modest home that meets my needs, and the freedom to live life on my terms—that’s all I need. What about you?

Are you tired of the endless bills, the debt, or the lack of ownership and control over your life? It’s a difficult cycle to break work, but escape is possible through ownership.

If you’re interested, approach it relentlessly. It’s a grind, especially if you are the first in your family or social group to attempt to pull this off.

Keep stacking your chips, investing in yourself, and getting some of your own pieces on life’s monopoly board.

Own it!
