Most of us spend our lives going to work every day, to earn money that we are not happy with, just so
we can finance a lifestyle that that we do not like. And by living this lifestyle, you must continue
spending money and therefore you must keep going to a job that you do not like. Hence, we are stuck in
this cycle repeatedly. Many of us feel the need to get multiple jobs to not only meet up with the life we
are trying to build for ourselves, but also to meet up with the incessant demands from back home. In all
this rush, we never take the time to plan on how best we can secure this income we have worked so
hard to get.
Your ability to earn a fixed income is your most valuable asset. It is the foundation on which your
family’s lifestyle is built. Therefore, it is incumbent that you protect it. Money is not the only factor that
makes this possible, many have the means but choose not to. You need the financial ability to make that
change but most importantly, you need the mindset of picking yourself up.
The power of money
What a lot of people do not understand is money has the power to have you continue in this cycle.
Whether it is one you like or do not like. But only your spending choices can decide in which cycle you
end up. Where you decide to spend your money and how you decide to spend it matters a lot.
It is very important to evaluate how you earn money. We all must earn money and we all must live. But
it is even better when we earn money in a way, we enjoy making it. Even better when your money
earned is protected. It is imperative you do not have your life built around how you make money but
have your money built around your life.
When I talk about building wealth, I realize that not everyone is cut out to be millionaires or live in
mansions. However, if you evaluate your cycle and realize that is not where you want to be, only you
have the power to change it. And the quickest way to change it is to change your relationship with
money.
Money affects everything, sometimes, that can present itself by learning a new skill to get more money
or spend less or invest your money different so you can reach your goals. Every change you need to
make in your life usually has a financial impact. If you use money in the right way, when I say right way,
rather than just going to your job and using whatever you earn on things you may not need, set a
percentage of it, and invest in yourself. Learn to pay yourself first.
You may not be able to change your cycle now, but you can use whatever income is coming from your
cycle to change your life, then leverage that to create a new cycle for yourself.
