“Trust is congruence between what you say and what you do.” - Peter Drucker
When my kids were younger I would take great pride in being a good father using my newfound freedom of time and flexibility to spend with my kids.
I would take them to the park and as soon as I got them situated in the sand box or on a swing I’d reach for my phone.
I’d call customers or respond to emails.
My kids would play and I’d “look” like a Dad with his kids at the park, but I was really working.
My behavior and my values weren’t congruent.
Do you tell yourself you’re going to build your passive income in the land investing business only to find yourself spending time on other pursuits?
If you aren’t congruent with what you claim you want, don’t beat yourself up. Just re-commit!
Often, it’s just a matter of total clarity of what you want and–more importantly–why you want it.
I want to grow my passive income to be able to improve my relationships, serve my community and eliminate all financial insecurity.
You may want to spend even more time with your family and friends.
You may want to devote even more time and money to charity.
You may want even more time to travel.
Whatever you say you truly want just be certain your actions are congruent.
Speaking of congruence. What’s better than a Mother’s love?
To all the Mothers out there…
Happy Mothers Day!
“I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.”
— E. M. Forster
