I agree, when money is the only motivator, discipline eventually runs out. Along the way, you may feel pushed to do less or more depending on what "enough" money looks like to you at that moment. And since output can't (and shouldn't) be measured solely by your financial temperature, it's important to find another reason for why you do what you do.

Purpose lasts longer than your paycheck.

Every time I think of this, I love my lifestyle even more. Chaos and drama won't find you in your home. People won't have issues with you if you only meet them with purpose. Trouble will be limited if you politely avoid people whose intentions you don't trust. You won't find yourself in so many unnecessary relationships if you limit your conversations. Life in itself isn't easy but personally, it would be harder if I lived any differently.

This is so helpful especially if you are a lady. The world is waiting for any tiny chance it can get at taking advantage of your vulnerability. You risk more when you are all over the place.

Psalms 127:2
[2]It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

*This here is the sign God gives me to go back to bed.* 😌
