Only a Fool Knows Everything 🤪
By Jo
In a world where everyone seems to have an opinion on everything, it’s important to remember that only a fool knows everything. I’ve never claimed to, nor do I want to, know everything.
What’s wrong with minding your own business sometimes? The more information you gather, the greater the responsibility you shoulder.
The pressure to be constantly informed and involved in everything can be overwhelming. Social media and 24/7 news cycles bombard us with an endless stream of information, much of which doesn't even pertain to our own lives. We’re encouraged to weigh in on every topic, debate every issue, and stay up-to-date on every trending topic. But at what cost? Our mental health, our peace of mind, and our focus on what truly matters to us.
I find peace in focusing on my own life, knowing that it's perfectly fine to not have all the answers. After all, wisdom often comes from understanding our own limitations and respecting the boundaries of others.
So, let’s embrace the humility of not knowing everything and find contentment in minding our own business. It’s a simpler, more mindful way to live.

Your Side Hustle Is Mandatory ⚒️
By Marcus

I recently saw a post on social media where a person shared that they have a six-figure IT salary but work DoorDash on the side. This person added that they will never trust anyone employer enough to have just one job.
Do you agree?
Terms & Conditions
Most of us work at a For-Profit business, meaning we work to benefit the owners, shareholders, or investors of a company. As soon as your employment no longer aligns with the profitability of the business... you're gone. It’s just business, and your salary is categorized as an expense on the balance sheet.
Job security is a thing of the past. Or at least, this is the reality that I live in.
I’ve worked two jobs as a full-time college student, and for the past eight years, I’ve worked on my own business and different “side hustles.”
As challenging and exhausting as this has been, I don’t see any other route to the freedom and lifestyle I want.
Leverage Your Side Hustle
Knowing you have or are working toward multiple streams of revenue is empowering. You never know how the economy will shift, or an unforeseen industry shift or global event will put your job at risk. Make the most of any additional income you have.
Your “Side Hustle” can be a temporary job that helps you create a long-term solution.
For Those Who Don’t Understand
If you work a lot, others may not understand why you spend so much time working outside of your primary job. The days are gone for most of us when you had one job and could sleep well at night. Taking time off or too many breaks can put you behind the curve.
Being relentless toward your goals is your edge in this life. Don’t let anyone take that away from you.
Some may not understand, but we must remain hopeful that the sacrifices you are making to achieve your goals will be worth it in the long run.
You are playing a game most will not understand.
