You don t have to be poor to enjoy the simple things in life. It's not either/or. You can be both. You don't have to have both to be a good person or a good human being.
00:00:00.320I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
00:00:04.800Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.
00:00:12.040What is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:19.880Today is going to be very fucking short. Very short.
00:00:26.660So, all I want to do is hop on here real quick and remind you guys, because I see this everywhere I go, all right?
00:00:35.820And I see this message pumped out on social. I see this message verbalized by people all the time.
00:00:43.220And it is literally the anthem of underachievers, okay? And it goes something like this.
00:00:50.500You know, I don't need all that material stuff, because I'm humble.
00:00:53.760You know, I used to chase material things, but now I realize that spirituality and well-being is more important, and that's the real prize.
00:01:37.980And lots of people out there, especially nowadays with the spiritual gangsters out there trying to tell you how to live and what to think and how to feel and what your priorities should be and all this shit.
00:02:44.540Nobody talks about how wealthy people give to these organizations and these charities and these churches and basically drive the entire fucking boat.
00:03:29.420And if you're under 30 years old and you're thinking, oh, well, one day maybe I'll just switch my mindset.
00:03:36.580Like, I'm not saying you're verbalizing this, but if you're just thinking it.
00:03:39.960One day I might change my mindset and I'll get some money.
00:03:43.860Dude, money takes a while to materialize.
00:03:46.460If you even think that you're going to want some money in your life, which you are going to whether you want to admit it or not, you've got to start now.
00:03:54.440You've got to start building for that future family now.
00:03:58.120You've got to start building for that future life that you want to live now.
00:04:03.160It's all good and it's all fun and it's all cool to pretend like you're some sort of moral fucking high horse authority and super enlightened and spiritual.
00:04:13.340But it's only cool until you can't pay your fucking bills.
00:04:22.020You can be a great person and you can make a lot of money.
00:04:25.640And in fact, I would argue that if you're not pursuing making a lot of money, you're actually dishonoring your creator by living less than your potential could be.
00:04:38.100So, quit with the fucking hiding under the spiritual umbrella of quote-unquote goodness as a reason as to why you're not succeeding.
00:04:52.120And while your friends might think that it's okay and your people that you're around and your family and your little group on social media might think that it's okay,
00:05:00.980the truth is it's not okay because you know and I know that you are not doing what needs to be done.
00:05:09.300And instead of gritting it out, gutting it out, working it out, and persevering to make yourself the best that you possibly could be,
00:05:40.780So, you can ride this fucking popularity message all you want with all the little gurus out there talking about how it's important to be a good person and you don't need money.
00:05:51.460Or you could realize that you can be a good person with money or without money.
00:05:56.520You can enjoy simple things with money, without money, and anybody who says any fucking different is full of shit.
00:06:02.460They probably couldn't cut it themselves.
00:06:04.600That's the fucking truth when it comes to this little paradox that we have going on.
00:06:10.360And I would further, like I said a minute ago, consider this.
00:06:17.020Let's consider that you had a daughter.
00:06:18.560And let's consider the fact that you knew that they were capable of X but they live X minus whatever that is because, and then they go around and preach about how good of a person they are when in reality they're just living far below their potential.
00:06:34.760Are you going to be proud of them or are you going to see them for what they are?
00:06:37.480Because that's what God sees when he looks at you.
00:06:39.660He sees someone who is taking the gifts that he gave you and using them to less than their potential and that's dishonorable.
00:06:50.520And if you can't understand that and you're sitting there raising that moral flag about how great of a person you are and you're underachieving, you're full of shit.
