“Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.” (Proverbs 23:4, KJV)
In my last post, I decided to separate my Christian content from my non-Christian content in order to monetize the non-Christian content so as to not peddle the Word of God for profit (violating 2 Corinthians 2:17).
I then (seeing as I was on an extended vacation), proceeded to try to work more on my content, both religious and secular, and based on my personality, when I set out to do something, I am super bent on getting it done.
One problem: I'm exhausted. Thus, unintentionally, I have sinned. Of grinding so hard at my web content (even though I just wanted to grind to see if I could even make money), I repent.
I should have seen this coming: I was at a game night with some friends yesterday, and that was the best experience I've had in weeks. Everything just seemed right for once. Beside the point yes, but even the dice rolls were satisfyingly odds-defying.
I tried to justify my hustle. Yes, I should be content with what I have (Hebrews 13:5), and I thought I was, I just wanted the satisfaction of doing something. The problem is, the metric was money, which was the sinful part. That is, the combination of hustling to exhaustion, and money.
Besides, practically, my main bread and butter is about to make me even more bread. By the way, if you're looking for night time part time work, USD 290 is definitely hiring. Go to usd290.org and look for custodial positions available. The aforementioned position? Yeah, definitely available.
So what caused all this economic activity?
Andrew Tate.
Yes, I know, he's a terrible influence on kids because of his stances toward women and getting rich, but all I cared about was the hustle. He teaches, "Speed! Speed! Speed!" in order to make tons of money. Again, I just extracted the work ethic part of his philosophy.
Yet, there is also a time for respite (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Like I said, my main bread and butter, combined with my low living expenses, make for comfortable living.
So yeah, for now, as far as The Sweeping Developer content, I'm done. Call back when I'm actually motivated to work on my secular stuff. The discipline to hustle at USD 290 is already there (It's no sin to hustle if your pay is based on time, the hustle is for my good name).
Correct me if I'm wrong in any of this. (Proverbs 6:23)
