I often tell myself, "I'm not sacrificing enough!" I don't want to fail because I didn't sacrifice. In many ways I'm living my dream, but I feel guilty about it. I feel like Donald Trump when he turned to his daughter as they were walking by a homeless man and said, "I have less money in the bank than him" after a tough economic downturn. A homeless person makes more money than me because I have no income, which means I should sacrifice more. If my income accurately reflected my living situation than I too would be on the streets. ARE YOU SACRIFICING ENOUGH? I saved enough money to forgo that nightmare scenario, but nonetheless the clock is ticking. SACRIFICE! SACRIFICE! SACRIFICE! I could live in a better apartment with A.C. Buy new shoes since my current ones have holes in them. But I rather sacrifice as much as I can so that when I do taste success it will actually be success instead of fake success. I'm going to see the new Star Wars movie now. I'll probably kick myself after-the-fact for not sacrificing, but nonetheless a boy has to have some fun? Are you sacrificing enough to achieve your goals?

The U.S. Senate should pass the “Read the Bills Act.” This Act was written in 2006 by Downsize DC, which is a non-profit focused on decreasing the size of the federal government. This Act has since been sponsored and proposed in the U.S. Senate by Senator Rand Paul. This Act would require legislators who want to vote YES on a bill to sign an affidavit swearing to have read or heard read the entire bill. Every bill would also be required to be read aloud before a quorum in both chambers. This Act would also require legislation to be publicly posted at least 7 days before it can be voted on in order to give legislators and the American public more time to read and discuss it. This Act is NEEDED now more than ever because every year the size of bills are getting longer and longer while our legislators are given less and less time to read them. For example, The Dodd-Frank bill was 1,800 pages. The Affordable Care Act was 2,500 pages. And the 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act was 2,232 pages. And this has all culminated into the most outrageous example where on December 21st 2020, the 5,593 page Cornibus bill, the longest bill ever passed by Congress, was introduced just hours before Representatives and Senators were to vote on it. Now you'd think the fact none of our elected representatives read a bill that costs more than two Iraq Wars would’ve doomed it to failure, but nope! The exact opposite happened! In our hyper-partisan era, it was able to get broad bipartisan support! It got broad bipartisan support because it was negotiated and agreed to by the Democratic Leadership via Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schemer and the Republican Leadership via Mitch McConnell and the Trump Administration. But unlike Nancy Pelosi who was able to make time from the hair salon to be directly involved in negotiations, the Author of the Art of the Deal wasn’t able to make time from the golf course to negotiate the most consequential piece of legislation of his administration. He appointed his Treasury Secretary to be his lead negotiator. It’s a well-known fact that Trump was often kept away from serious negotiations because he was liable to give away major concessions in an attempt to get his name on something. Anything! It was then only AFTER the bill was passed in the House and Senate that Donald Trump decided to complain on Twitter before taking off to Mar-A-Lago for a nice Christmas vacation. From afar, at the behest of his base, Trump begged McConnell to remove the pork and increase the stimulus check from $600 to $2,000, but McConnell used Trump’s ADHD tweets to package Trump’s requests in such a way that would doom the $2,000 stimulus check to failure by simply tying it to other measures that Democrats would never vote for, i.e. poison pills.

Diogenes was lying in the grass enjoying the warmth of the sun when he heard a crowd moving toward him. Trumpets blared, announcing the arrival of the king. Diogenes looked up and squinted at the procession coming toward him. In the distance he could see the king leap from his horse and start running toward him. The sun gave way to the king. Silhouetted by the sun, Alexander the Great represented the epitome of power. He ruled the largest empire in the world, stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas. Smiling down, Alexander introduced himself: “I am Alexander, the great king.” Diogenes replied: “I am Diogenes, the dog.” The great king asked, “I have heard many stories of your wisdom and I’ve come to ask if there is anything I can do for you. Please, feel free to ask me for anything.” Diogenes looked up, thought for one moment, and said, “Yes, yes there is.” “Anything,” the king answered, pleased to do what he could. “Stand a little to the side,” Diogenes requested. “You’re blocking my sun.” Alexander’s guards gasped, but the king was so surprised by the answer that he could only laugh. After that, he admired Diogenes even more. He stepped aside, and Diogenes sincerely thanked him. “It is a wise man who keeps his word,” Diogenes said, and as Alexander and his men turned to ride home, the king smiled. He turned to his servant and said, “I can tell you this, if I were not Alexander, I would like to be Diogenes.” “I would rather excel in knowledge of the highest secrets of philosophy than in arms.” — Alexander the Great Power comes in many forms. Who was more powerful? Diogenes or Alexander the Great? Diogenes needed the sun to be happy; Alexander the Great needed the Earth. What power did Alexander the Great have over Diogenes? What could he or the world take from the man who has nothing but the serenity of his own mind? And yet, you may ask, what could Diogenes take from Alexander the Great? If Alexander was like most alpha males then a rude remark or an impolite gesture could shatter his emotional freedom. Financial Freedom vs. Emotional Freedom A popular term in our A.D. lexicon is financial freedom. We’ve all seen the alluring ad of a young millennial on the beach who promised financial freedom if you just bought his book about how he became financially free by selling financial freedom. Becoming financially free is useful because chances are you don’t want to live like Diogenes… He lived in a barrel by a river. He publicly m*sturbated and defecated. And at one point, he was kidn*pped by pirates and sold into slavery. “It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.” — Diogenes But as difficult and useful as it is to ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytLUOaiLfyg
