Day X side hustle vulnerable storyfrom @bradjcho

Transcript

Can't afford to propose to my girlfriend, so today's day 41 of Good Dashing for a $6,500 diamond ring. Best when did I start equating money with worth? When I was 12, I noticed something about all my friends. They always seem to have the newest laptop or phone. And when I asked my parents for one, they said no. I didn't say anything, but I felt it. I felt left out and behind. And I promised myself I wouldn't feel that way again. That once I started making my own money, I'd finally feel enough. The thing about comparing yourself to others is that the bar just keeps moving. I would get a new job, but it still wasn't enough. I'd get a higher salary, but it still wasn't enough. I would get a new condo, but it still wasn't enough. But each time there is a new blessing in my life, I told my girlfriend that I just wanted a little more. That I could finally enjoy everything that I worked for after the next one. A month after buying our dream condo, I told her I wanted something bigger. But then she asked me, when is it ever going to be enough? And, honestly, I didn't have a response because I wasn't appreciating each new blessing. I felt like I had to keep earning more to finally feel like I was worth something. But she showed me something different. My worth isn't number on my bank account. It's the effort I put into our relationship. It's the promises that I keep to her and the people around me. It's about my word and my effort. This ring isn't about what I have. It's about who I'm becoming to get it. Forty one days down, 1,942.56 best of 6,500. Follow to see how long it takes.
