“Are you okay with being average?” - Emma Powell

I am

Surprised to hear that?
I'm a pretty passionate person,
I get so excited about what you are saying that I interrupt a lot
and I love learning so much that I'm often lost in rabbit holes

I think big, dream big, go big, I hike across entire states,
and it's often exhausting

I'm an introvert

Surprised to hear that?
I need a LOT of time alone to recover from all the time with people in 3 big families (my husband and I are both from families of 8 kids, and we ourselves have 6)

What I really want is a slow-paced life where I don't have to always be hustling
where we can travel in slow motion
and not worry about paying for emergencies

That lifestyle takes a lot of passive income
And passive income takes a lot of upfront cash invested
And earning that cash takes hustle
And that hustle demands more than the average

But I don't confuse the hustle for the purpose
I keep my eye on the prize (#financialfreedom)
Now that we are at Level 1, I want to keep pushing and growing
to elevate our lifestyle
Helping others so they can help others who help others
So that we can relax and enjoy an average life achieved by first not being average
