Those who sweat more in times of peace bleed less in times of war. Are you building financial wealth? Are you earning, saving, and investing? Are you learning how to live on less than you earn? Ask yourself: *Where in your life today can you sweat more?  *Are you doing the work to be a greater parent and a greater spouse? *Are you preparing daily to be physically strong, to be spiritually in-tune and aligned and grounded, to be relationally sound, and be able to listen and understand and connect and relate with your loved ones? are you developing the capacity and the skill sets and the mindsets to build financial wealth to really earn a good living? The more voluntary pain you put yourself in, the less involuntary pain you experience.
