“Now I know only I can stop the rain
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Now I know only I can stop the rain
It's not that we gotta do what we do
It's what we know
So to me it ain't nothin' but bein' true, but
Now I know only I can stop the rain
It doesn't have to be the way it is, you say it is
Just because for the past 20 years every day it is (what?)
Now I know only I can stop the rain”
-DMX, The Rain
I haven’t listened to The Rain by DMX for years–probably since the year that the album it’s on was released.

And then DMX began rapping the first few lines, and I started listening a little more closely. I’ve bolded the lines that jump out to me, for what I believe are obvious reasons, but I’ll let you decide. Just remember…positive reinforcing messages are all around you if you’re open to receiving them. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

A few of my financial advisor friends (shoutout Sam and Nas) and I were talking about money the other day, and I shared how tired I was of seeing that, so often, the response to financial stress and insecurity is to cut expenses. Don’t get me wrong, reducing expenses and living within your means is usually a part of the solution, but it’s not the only solution. It’s one way to look at solving the problem of not having enough money–it is a good solution. Although, it’s a solution through the...
