I’m not really attached to money because, like many other things in my life, one minute it’s here and the next it could all be gone. I lost my twin brother when I was 17, I lost my house to a fire shortly after that, and just last year I lost my mom to covid.
It is these moments of loss that taught me to hold tight to what I do have,
instead of focusing on what I don’t. I believe that you may not always have all that you want, but you usually have what you need. And in my darkest moments when I didn’t have what I needed, I was so thankful to have Empower’s Cash Advance to help pay for my mother’s funeral.
And I was even more thankful when they increased how much I was approved for. When it felt like the world was against me, Empower was able to be that helping hand without judgement or shame. Life is messy. Sometimes you’ll fall. Sometimes you’ll have to lose something to gain something greater, but the loss still remains. We can choose to live in the darkness and become slaves to our past, or we can forge ahead, stay present, and trust we’ll make it through.
