Day Two of Wealthy and Free; JuNoWriMo Challenge 2018

We are now at the second post of this challenge for my feed and only now do I think to ask: “Wealthy and Free?”

Don’t I mean “Homeless and broke?”

Well, no. I’m actually neither.

While I am “houseless,” I’m quite at home out here where I am and those who know me know me as a clean homeless guy, and a good dude.

As for “free,” we’re all only as free as our encumberances allow us to be.

There are Humans sailing the seven seas, with their hearts stuck three ports back, stuck on a face they saw and, there are Humans in prison cells, for life, on a crime they did not commit, who refuse to respond to anyone who addresses them with anything less than their actual name.

“Wealthy?” I still haven’t fully explained wealthy, yet.

As the previously shared, “Money Is Not Wealth, stated, it’s our relationships with those who affect us (that’s all of us, btw) which determines our prosperity.

It’s all about reputation.

Safeguard your reputation with more grunt and struggle than you would your cash-box. It’s worth more.

I am terribly wealthy in positive relationships and I am deleriously happy over how it feels to have built a better reputation, lately, anyway.

You will get help along the way, from the most interesting sources.

Others know, all-too-well, the struggle they themselves endure and when people see another in a bad way, oftentimes, a new set of eyes are willing to look at your situation, as a sort of puzzle-solving “hobby” many have – or at least for the chance to laugh at you.

If you find yourself painted in a corner, if someone tells you how to step to not ruin the paint, you don’t care if the information comes from a hobo or a CEO.

What matters is if the information is any good.

It’s when things seem worst they come along. Just keep your ears and eyes open for your real friends, when they show up.
