What nobody told you about financial freedom

 


What nobody told you about financial freedom
Matt Hasig : Reasons to stay alone

The world is increasingly designed to depress us.
Happiness is not very good for the economy!
"If we were happy with what we have
Why would we need more?
If we don't need more,
Who will buy the anti-aging cream?
Who will buy the new watch model?
Who will watch the new TV soap opera?
Who shall buy the new smartphone?

The trick the marketeer plays is on happiness- or precisely the lack of it
They all stuff to make us happy!
Fraudsters!
As if our lives depended on them
And if we don't buy we would end in despair

We are led to make financial plans for 20-30 years ahead
But are not made aware of simple truths
Simplicity, frugality, and patience
Life is exactly this - everything outside of stuff and advertising
Focus on enough- Money, Food and Possessions
That itself is financial freedom!

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett      

Repeat the Basics!

When you repeat the basics You don't only become great - you will stay great! -Darius Foroux Repeat 🔂 the basics of many things in your Life: 1. Fitness - Walking  2. Philosophy - read your favorite Author - everyday! 3. Kindness - random act of giving  4. Business -  What is the purpose of business? 5. Writing  -  Read the "The Elements of Style - Strunk & White"  Its very simple : Figure out the basics of the given field : 5-6 principles And repeat them day after day Back to the Basics! If you do so , you will lead a life with chronic White-belt mentality 😅 leading to Humility  even if your performance is that of a Master Black-belt! If you do so,  you not only become an expert of the field you will stay as one!
