For love or money

I’ve never been the type to think that the wealthy simply struck it rich due to the luck of the draw; rather I’ve always believed that wealth is something you yourself can attract. There are so many ways in which people stumble upon money, I don’t think throwing a dart and calling it luck would really land you a bulls eye.

Take, for instance, women who marry into money. Was that luck, or was that opportunity and preparedness meeting? Ah yes, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again …destiny isn’t about worlds colliding at the precise mili-second creating your woohoo moment, rather (I believe) that destiny is when preparedness and circumstance meet.

Timing is everything, and I could say that through the years it has seemed as though my timing has perhaps been off, but then that would also require me to negate all the truths of my encounters, careers, and friendships gained during this “off timing”. Even though not everything makes sense as of yet, and I wonder at why certain things haven’t come to fruition, I think there’s a better answer than off timing.

I think the universe simply knows me well enough to have the good sense to stagger my windfalls. I’m the type of person that, if given everything I want, it no longer appeals to me. I way rather work for something and then be rewarded for my efforts. Anything less is just…charity. I don’t want to be given the access of what someone has, rather I want to be honoured with what little they don’t, and appreciate the sacrifice it required to give it. I’m not talking poverty and penance and slaving to survive…I’m talking about deserved vs expectant.

Women who marry for money are a different breed. I haven’t entirely figured out a gold-diggers philosophy in life, and that’s probably due to the fact that there is none. Shocking.

My previous post was about my millionaire-men era, which might have given the illusion that I am motivated by money, of which I am not, nor do I seek out men like a meal ticket. I’ve never been impressed by money, but I have always been intrigued by it. No matter if it was men or women acquiring such wealth, I wanted to know how. Of course women by nature want to be “taken care of”, but not always in the “gimme gimme” sense, rather in the sense that we know we can rely and depend on our man to do what it takes to make our dreams come true …big or small. And we in return, will also do our due diligence in our dream-making duties.

I’ve walked away from many a man waiving the golden ticket…because at the end of the day I much prefer love over money ♥
