"I want to have enough money that will take care of my generations unborn"
"I want to be a millionaire at a certain age"
"I want to have a family and a successful marriage"
"I want to become a doyen in my field of specialty" etc
We say a lot of things. There's nothing wrong with that. But, there is a difference between what we say and what we do. Most of us have nothing but good intentions. However, good intentions mean nothing.
Bros, Sister, you can't pay your bills with good intentions and wishes. That's the reality. I've lived two decades on earth and I could tell you, indubitably, that making a living is hard. Aiming for a great life is more difficult.
Recently, I asked myself, "so you want to be independent, huh? What does it take?
ACTION.
No matter what you want to achieve in life, your actions must back up your words. If not, you will never achieve anything.
Are you improving yourself? Are you creating something people need? Are you saving at least 5% of your income? Are you developing your mind; investing in yourself? Are you reading enough books- academic, business, self development, finances, life lessons ?
It is not about what you want. It is about what you do. Not in the future, but today. However, you need realize that you can't do everything today. Your today has a positive significant relationship with your future at 0.05% level of significance. The future can be predictable. Look at your today; that's the variable you need to predict the FUTURE YOU.
What useful and helpful things are you doing today?
