The biggest mistake you’ll ever make is associating success with being ‘given’ something. No one hands you success on a platter; you take it. You make it happen. You create the drama. You paint the picture. You fill the gaps. You endure the struggles. Every step is yours to conquer. And guess what? You’re never too young to start.

At every turn, every movement, every strategy, you have to learn to create your own luck. You have to think your way forward and leap above the norm. You were made for more than what you were handed!

Yesterday, I told my communities, “As much as there’s old money, there’s also old poverty.” It’s tied to the concept of intergenerational mobility and the Matthew Effect: to those who have, more will be given; to those who don’t, even what they have will be taken. So, if old money comes with privilege, old poverty brings its own set of disadvantages.

Your mission? Resolve that old poverty. You’re working for generations ahead, and the earlier you start, the better. It’s time to pass down old money, not old poverty.

Cheers to living our best days.
