Living As If
Even when sovereign profits feel far away.
Some days, sovereign profits feel like a crown I can’t quite reach.
Too grand.
Too golden.
Too far removed from invoices and spreadsheets and the realities of right now.
I spoke with someone recently who told me, flat-out:
“I don’t think that kind of wealth is possible for me. Not truly. Not in this life.”
And my heart broke, and my whole body stilled.
Because I’ve felt that too.
Like maybe the dream is for someone, but not me.
Like maybe what I’ve imagined—overflow that feels safe, spacious, and resourced enough to fund my life and the movements I believe in—is a luxury I’ll never touch.
But here’s what I know:
I don’t have to arrive before I begin.
I don’t have to know if it’s possible to live as if it is.
Because I get to choose that today, I share what I have.
In a way that supports my life. First.
In a way that nourishes the people I love.
In a way that plants seeds for a future I may never see—but someone else will inherit.
That’s what sovereign profits really mean to me.
Yes, they’re about overflow.
Yes, they’re about data and systems and strategy.
But more than that?
They are about orientation.
A decision.
A devotion.
A refusal to shape my giving around scarcity or shame.
A remembering that I am not waiting to be deemed “worthy enough” to be resourced.
I am already resourced—right now.
And I can multiply that power, not just by having more…
…but by choosing how I distribute what I already have.
So no, I may not be funding foundations or writing six-figure checks—yet.
But I’ve already started designing a world where even my boundaries serve the collective.
Every time I charge a late fee, I send 100% of it to one of three organizations I care about. It’s written into my systems. My contracts. My values.
Because holding a boundary and redistributing power are not mutually exclusive.
They’re part of the same equation.
This is how we make sovereign profits real—
not just possible, but inevitable.
Because it’s not about having it all first.
It’s about living like it’s coming.
And showing up from that place.
👉 Reflection Prompt:
Where are you still waiting to arrive before you begin?
What’s one small, sovereign action you can take today—as if the dream was already real?
🔥 Daily Affirmation:
I live as if my dreams are already unfolding.
I tend to what I have with care and clarity.
I give from a place of grounded sufficiency.
My life is not on hold—I am already in the miracle.
Every choice I make is a declaration of what I believe is possible.
PS:
Profit is protest. Not because we already have it all—but because we dare to act as if we do. That’s the revolution. That’s the reframe. That’s the way.
