I sort of went MIA (Missing-In-Action) for the past week. Reading the new book i've bought, watching TV series that i had kept until now to watch with my free time. And not to forget, meeting up with friends and also going out with my girlfriend.
Life after exams is Heavenly! I enjoyed this "wake up and think what should i do next feeling". BUT, to maintain my monthly expenses, I know that i need to have a income in the short term. It's been less than 1 month since my exams ended and I myself knows that not having any income from July is going to hurt my wallet badly.
I experienced the feeling of no income with fixed expenses, and i know that i cannot rely just on 1 stream of Income. I'm still into stocks trading but by no means am i withdrawing my financial freedom funds just so that i can go have fun.
I've learn that the reason why many people failed to get rich is because they often prioritize something else first. But if you ask any person, whether they want to be rich, They would undoubtedly agree!
Robert Kiyosaki used 3 different aspects and wanted his students to prioritize. The components are:
1) Comfortable
2) Stability
3) Rich
There is NO right or wrong answer here but it's just that more often than not, People are not doing what the say, or rather, simply prioritizing other factors in front of being rich and that's what they get.
A Poor or middle class person would have prioritized in the above order but a rich person would have prioritized differently:
1) Rich
2) Comfortable
3) stability
Noticed that the stability comes last when it comes to a rich's person's mindset. In the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", Robert was fortunate to be able to understand that the rich do not work for money. And that in order to have him understand this principle, His mentor, which is his rich dad, wanted Robert to work at one of his shop for FREE!
Most people would have laughed at the scenario or even label it as crazy. But judging by that comment, You're as good as saying: "I will prefer a stability over being Rich unconsciously".
T Harv's lesson once shared that your mind would leads to your thoughts which would then leads to ACTIONS and finally, the results.
These days, i reckon that many people would have gained the financial knowledge or partial knowledge on finance. But before you see the results showing that you're on path to financial freedom, You have to overcome the one step that many had failed.
This step is ACTION! All the thoughts and thinking meant NOTHING if there is no actions taken. It's as good as saying, I know that this stock is going to 'fly' but i choose not to buy it.
Even understanding what it takes to attain financial freedom is not enough if you do not have the resolve to get you translating your thoughts into ACTIONS! And i agree that doing so requires a massive amount of your mental strength.
Here, I'm going to share with you my way of strengthening my Mental muscle. Whenever i find myself feeling doubtful as to a decision what i know deep down, It is going to benefit me, I would ask myself this one question in my mind:
'If you think achieving Financial freedom is important, How and what are you willing to give in order to achieve that?'
or another sentence that i used in strengthening my motivations when i was preparing for my examinations was:
"If you think getting a first class honors for my exams is important, What are you willing to do in order to achieve that?"
My answer was Time and effort. As such, I quit my RWS job and focused only on studying and aiming for the highest. I know that it is not an easy task for everybody to just DO it but i can assure you, It's like going to the gym struggle:
It's the procrastination of whether to go or not that is the hardest part to get by. But once you have gotten pass that stage, You will feel happy that you had made the right decision to go to the gym and results would be a fitter, stronger and healthier body!
So, if you haven't learn anything about what i've posted, at least ask yourself this question:
"What do i want in life? Is it a stable job with high monthly income or a path to financial freedom and richness?"
Lastly, I would like to reinforce this statement that i've shared above:
" Mind Leads to Thoughts which leads to ACTIONS and finally we gets the results!"
