You Can Either Be A Business Man or Sell Your Soul for Peanuts

You know what they say;

Every good deed comes with a hidden price tag.

So, before you start doing your happy dance because someone’s being super nice to you, just remember, payday is lurking around the corner like a cat waiting to pounce.

Sure, this sounds obvious and kinda funny.

You're probably thinking, “Duh, we already know this”

Oh, really?

If you truly knew, you’d be out there rejecting freebies like you’re allergic to them and making sure everyone plays by your rules.

But we both know you’re not doing that, and that’s exactly why I’m here giving you this little reality check.

Now, let’s not even talk about the guys and girls who make it crystal clear what they want from you.

No, no.

We’re talking about the charming ones.

The ones who act like they’re heaven-sent just for you.

They’re so nice to you, extra sweet, in fact, and your naïve little mind is busy convincing you, “Wow, this guy or lady is just pure-hearted, like an angel.

How could I ever repay them?

They’re just good people".

Newsflash, my dear innocent soul;

Nothing is ever free.

Not during the days of Abraham, not during the days of Yahoo Messenger, and certainly not now.

The minute you put someone on a pedestal and label them as “too good to be true,” you’ve unknowingly handed them the remote control to your life.

And if they figure out how much you worship their so-called goodness, oh boy, they’ll have you doing their dirty work faster than you can say “oops.”

They’ll have you fighting their battles, making their enemies your enemies, and thanking them for the privilege while you’re at it.

So, my friend, be careful out there.

Remember, If you’re not the one selling the goods, you’re probably the one paying extra with your own money.

And if money’s not involved, guess what’s on the chopping block?

Yep, your dignity, about to be sold at a clearance sale.

Stay sharp.

Stay wise.

Peace.
