THE MENTALITY OF A PERSON ABLE TO EVOLVE MENTALLY AND FINANCIALLY
Hi there, first of all sorry for my broken english, I'm writing in this platform also to improving my writing skills! I intend to deal with a topic which the majority of the population think as a simple "unattainable dream": the change of financial and mental situation; this in terms of my personal experience.
The material and spiritual improving is seen as "unattainable" to those who do not have the initial resources to make some dreams a reality.
Generations of families have been able to make money and hold them ... Therefore someone who is born rich must have had certain skills to multiply his resources instead of squander them, and plus there is someone who is not born rich, but has become rich.
How can this have happened? There are many variables in our lives: there is a stroke of luck, there is a period in which you are provided with a small sum to invest, there is the hard work that forces you to stay away from the family, there is a period of denial, there is a failure.
A person able to life changing is the one who through work, investment or the fluke is able to turn a situation to his advantage. Is a person who is able to adapt himself to what is placed in front of him at any given moment of his life and who is able to tollerate frustration. And is a person who, patiently waiting for the right moment, is able to make sacrifices, delete the unnecessary, reinventing himself.
The mindset that characterizes this kind of subjects ( in terms of what are my personal experiences) are summarized below:
The ability to recognizing the unnecessary, removing it: this is a feature that characterizes only a small part of the population. This ability consist in living a life at a some lower level compared to what are the real financial resources of each of us, especially regarding the little things in everyday life (the water is healthier and less expensive than iced tea, a dinner by candlelight at home with your partner can increase intimacy!).
The ability to hold the rewards derived from the elimination of what is unnecessary in terms of "long time resources": this is a little technique I've personally taken. An example of this mindset in the reality is to having a "piggy bank untouchable" where to put the savings derived from the lifestyle just described, which is untouchable and will be usable only for real emergencies. For "real emergency" I do not mean a new jacket or going to the hairdresser. An emergency situation is for example a medical treatment that cannot be postponed, the investment of the life etc.
The ability to be constantly curious and to adapt to the world around us: this is a feature less common than you might think, which can exert a decisive influence on the accumulation of material or inner wealth. Those who are curious are also constantly in observing, in discovering, in finding out; those who are curious then achieve knowledge, and knowledge is power: knowledge is the tool that moves the world. Who has achieved a knowledge is then specialized and can use instruments and people in view of a certain goal. The adaptation is a major feature as well: if an individual cannot adapt in view of some goals (thinking "I'm not able to learn", "it costs too much work or too much time", "it is too difficult to reach"), will be always static, while the time pass anyway. An easy example that can explain these two characteristics is: if you are not able to drive a jet because you had neither the curiosity to do it nor the will to spend time and energy to learn to ride it, you won't ever be able to reach the sound speed by yourself.
The ability to spend even 24 hours of your day in an activity if "it was worth it": here it is another very rare feature that is present in enterpreneurs, which mainly concerns the field of training or preparation of an activity. This is the ability to make sacrifices; it may seems trivial but are the facts that make the difference, also because often the time to achieve a goal can be long. The fruits of the sacrifices will not only materials, but above all they will be expressed in terms of satisfaction.
The ability to recognize a good possibility in a set of not good ones: the importance of knowledge and information underlies this kind of ability. Before you decide anything you need to be informed on the relative field or you have to rely on someone you can trust who can guide you in achieving more awareness about what you are going to do.
The ability to take a good possibility, being aware of the risk ad even of the possible failure: once you understand you are face to face with a possibility that could change your life, the step of taking it is not always that easy because you must overcome fears and even be awate of the likely consequences of your decision; some examples of this concept could be: the disapproval of the family, many more hours of work, the risk of losing their savings, the loss of confidence, the lack of motivation in the middle of works... or even failure. If the failure is not in your mind the blow inflicted by it would be excessive or it means that you are about to start something being completely unaware (extremely dangerous move).
The ability of build a "step by step" path: please don't invest in "easy earnings" like the game, it is the biggest scam invented by rich people. Who becomes rich is often defined as "self- made man", it is a person who worked for himself and who has climbed the mountain until he reached the summit. But the mountain has to be the climbed, step by step, sometimes falling, sometimes stopping to rest in the lack of motivation.
The ability to invest the exact amount of time and resources you are willing to lose: This is an inner advise I personally have always followed. More than once I have had access to a little capital or I Have had some time to use for alternative goals, but I haven't spent all of them following a single road, my limits have been always marked before to start anything, with a helper who have advised me in the moment that the initial rules had to be broken.
The ability to learn from mistakes in order to evolve: it may happen that in a risky path as that of the accumulation of capital you may fall into really stupid mistakes. I myself more than once was feeling nothing but silly. I've followed stupid people, I have spent time and money where I should not have, but this was an essential step to learn what really were the right things to do. The exact same activities that caused me the failures then has given me some satisfactions when I changed the method by which I approached them.
I hope you appreciate!
Have a wonderful mountains to climb!!
