People rarely understand that I had my dream job before the Money Merge Account and United First Financial. To do what you have dreamed of doing your entire life…to love it, and be good at it, only to set it aside because you experience something even greater. A purpose which not only changes your own life, but the lives of those you meet.
I have a great life. I married my sweetheart, the girl of my dreams and the pride of my soul. Best friends have been born as my own children. I have spent my days fighting dragons, crafting worlds without end, organizing governments, establishing economies, thwarting attacks from Ogres and Demons, while spending my evenings dancing with Elves and Pixies. I have traveled through time, seen the birth of a new Universe and rubbed shoulders with Heroes.
I’m a cartoonist and I made my living creating beautiful alternate realities for children all over the world. Places where your little ones could adventure, learn, grow and explore their own hearts and minds while safe in the folds of my God loving (and fearing) imagination. These comics were as educational as they were fun…so I am told (smile). Those who corrupted the minds of youth hated me when I called them on their perverted creations which taught the foulest aspects of our society as ‘the norm’, while those most respected in their fields blessed my days with rave reviews. I still love saying that out loud.
In short, I have always seen what I did as ‘affecting change’. It’s always been important to me, and driving force in my life. I wanted to show children that they were more than what society said they could be. That every human being IS special and unique, with the power to change their own stars. I wanted to show children how to think for themselves, to ask questions, to challenge their limits and become better than their parents. It’s what I teach my own children. To stand there, with my arm around these little ones, looking out over the horizon of their lives and ask them ‘what do you see?’
That was, and is, my hearts desire: to affect change. If for nothing else, because I believe in the beauty and potential of a human soul.
I personally believe that’s why I wanted to pursue United First Financial, why I wanted to work to create The Jubilee Project with the best friends I have ever had in my life: Ondi, Lee, Brad and Nathan. I wanted to affect change in a bigger way. I wanted to save families financially and create a tangible ripple in the fabric of society. Something that would be felt, seen and experienced for generations to come.
When Jubilee gets together each week, we are always focused on taking that next step in changing this country for the better. Finding ways to bless the lives of as many people as possible. Yes, it’s a larger than life goal…but it’s what we believe in. That is the drive that brings tears to my eyes, puts a fire in my belly and causes my heart to swell with compassion for every family that has had to financially struggle, due to conditioning and ‘life’. If you and I have ever spoken in person or over the phone, I hope you feel the passion in my conviction, not only for the Money Merge Account and United First Financial, but the passion to attain to something far greater than ourselves.
You may not see this opportunity in that light, and that’s ok. You may not even agree with my line of thought. However, if you accepted nothing else from this article, know this: you are important to us. You matter. It’s not the sales, it’s not the money. It’s the emotional fact that you chose to become a part of The Jubilee Project and assist us in affecting that change. Regardless of the reasons for joining our team, you are making this country a better place, and may God Bless you for that. We are not perfect. We don’t always have the answers, and we struggle just as much as any agents at times…but we see the future before it, and it is grand.
It’s worth fighting for, every step of the way.
I am a very happy man. I get to love those around me, and they love me in return. I have made more solid friendships in the last year, than I have had the privilege to have during the whole of my life. I get to be of service to each of you, and I take a measure of pride in knowing every waking hour I spend with Jubilee is building a mechanism to save the American Family from financial ruin, while taking care of the very needs of my own family. That’s what makes it nearly impossible to express my excitement, when I know for a fact that we have only just begun.
Here is to the greatest Team of United First Financial: The Jubilee Project.
A team that has become great…because of you.
