Wrapped in Contentment

Sitting in my room. I just paid 2 bills, with such low-effort and ease. And being someone on their wealth journey (who only recently began exiting survival mode in the summer of 2023); I can honestly say what I feel right now is contentment.
As I sat feeling that feeling, a song popped up in my mind. . .
Song bird by Kenny G.
And I thought, what a random song, but also, this song feels like contentment. I feel satisfied because of what I’d just experienced.
The paying of the bill isn’t the part. It’s the fact that I was able to pay those bills without worry. The fact that I was actually able to pay those bills from my back-up bill account, meaning if one account wasn’t able to cover it, I have a backup account that can.
I setup my finances in a way that no matter what, I can not only cover my bills, but I have different accounts that allow me to focus on other areas of my finances that need tending to –not just bills but money for fun, travel, my car, daily expenses…..
And this coming from a person that was raised in survival mode, never truly having enough and having to struggle to pay bills, no savings, no plan, and no back-up plan. But now, I pay with ease because the wealth always replenses itself.
I have a savings for my debt and a savings for my bills and different savings that help me run my entire life.
WOW
WOW.
So feeling content. Is the feeling.
I remember saying I no longer want to worry about bills and here I am not worrying about bills. If income is less than projected that month –doesn’t matter, I created a life container that feeds itself, so I’m never waiting on a check.
I’m my own bank. I take out loans and I pay them back, with interest.
So this is really for all the people that got out of survival mode.
Those who decided to build their own wealth from the ground up.
To accept their legacies as their own creation.
Cheers to you.
Cheers to us.
Against all odds we chose differently.
And we are content, because being content is contagious and it repeats itself.
–I’m making a playlist on Spotify that’s called “Wrapped in Contentment” by Cosmic Elixir (that’s me). It’s a living playlist that I’ll randomly add to overtime, so enjoy it as your contentment raises.
Cheers,
Ianthe
