You've Been Bamboozled!

Recently, my cousin came down from New York for a visit, and as always, we got into some deep conversation. Our chats are always rich—family, personal growth, entrepreneurship—we cover it all. There’s something special about connecting with someone who just gets you, someone who sees the world in a similar way and isn’t afraid to go there in a conversation. This time, we were talking about our careers, the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and the things we’re working toward. In the middle of it, she said something that stuck with me:

"I believe my birthright is to own real estate and have a lot of money."

It made me pause. Later, I looked up the word birthright—it’s defined as a natural or moral right, something everyone is born with.

I quickly said to her, "No, I don't think that having all of this stuff is our birthright...We have been dooped, bamboozled, hoodwinked into thinking this very thing. We have been taught to want these things and it keeps us tied up in a cycle and system of consumerism." I continued, "I think our true birthright is to be free—to be healthy, strong, and in a constant state of self-elevation."

For me, freedom is about more than just financial gain. It’s about not being shackled by debt, societal expectations, or the need for external validation. It’s about having peace of mind, self-love, and the space to grow into our highest selves. Now, don’t get me wrong—money has its place. It can open doors, create opportunities, and provide stability. But have we been misled into believing that wealth is the destination rather than a tool? What if the real prize is something far greater?

What would it look like to strive for true freedom? To dedicate ourselves to personal growth with discipline and consistency? To turn inward, strengthen our energy, and allow our best selves to emerge?

I believe that when we align with our highest energy—when we move with intention and purpose—the things we seek will naturally find their way to us. Some of the goals we chase may already be within reach if we simply shift our focus inward.

What do you think? What is your birthright? What do you believe truly belongs to you?

I’d love to hear your thoughts—hit reply and share with me.
