The Early Years, Build Our Character…

Everyone’s life is a series of experiences: some good, some bad, and some that come and go with little thought one way or another. The interesting point about these experiences is the number of them that contain important life lessons but that we let pass unnoticed. There may be a number of events from our own lives that implanted strong life lessons in our subconscious minds, even though we failed to recognize them at the time. It was not until later that we were able to look back, analyze the events, and understand the impact they had on our future.

All these past events may not be positive, in fact, some of them may have produced strong negative reactions. It’s the events that left lasting impressions, both good and bad. 

Developing a wealthy man's mindset is a journey, not a destination. It is a personal journey because everyone’s experiences are different. Opportunities abound, but if you weren’t ready and aren’t prepared, you will fail to recognize them when they arise. You’ll join the ranks of those who aren’t prepared for an opportunity that comes your way, someone else will grab it and you will be talking about how lucky they were.

Those years, when you were young and eager, you’re like a sponge, young, innocent, and willing to soak up everything that comes your way. The problem is, it’s just as easy to soak up bad information as good. If you soak up too much bad information, it can turn from a sponge that soaks up knowledge into a rock that resists all change. But even if you’ve already become a rock, you need to take a second look at those times when you soaked up bad information, and try to expunge the negative from your mind and become a sponge once again.

Greed, jealousy, hate, envy, bitterness, mistrust, and suspicion are all negative thoughts and emotions that come from bad experiences. Hurt, anger, and resentment can devour you like cancer if you don’t get rid of them. 

Most of us didn’t react well when things didn’t go our way, but it was up to us to choose whether we let disappointment and failures get us down or teach us a lesson. We may come to realize that some of the best lessons life teach us are what not to do. It’s the choices we make when things happen that have an influence on our lives. Yes, there is a cause and effect to almost everything. For example, two people get a lemon each, one complains about the sour deal he got, while the other makes lemonade.

Why? Why do people have such different reactions to the same event? Why do some people let negative emotions destroy them while others use the same emotions to get stronger? 

Psychologists say that most of our view of the world is well developed by the time we’re seven years old. By that age, we have developed a paradigm or a mental map of the way the world operates. Life can hand you difficult situations, but these don’t have to ruin your life. Childhood memories, both good and bad, can be used to build character. 

That’s all for now, my friends. See you all in my next article.

Becoming Wealthy Is A Team Sport

  Becoming Wealthy Is A Team Sport We all have seen how individualism is of prime importance in school. Firstly, we are graded based on individual effort. And although there are areas where teamwork is important — in sports like football and hockey, it is still the individual effort that counts. The smartest student rule. He is the man on the campus, loved by teachers and students alike. Which is tragic because it teaches us that life works the same way. That individualism is all that matters. Nothing could be further than the truth. In real life, no one gets to do anything great or achieve anything worthwhile alone. No one get to make it big by doing it all on his own. Archimedes was wrong — it takes more than one man and a lever to move the world. And even in individual sports like tennis and golf, there is a team involved. Sure it is players like Tiger Wood or Roger Federer who are the front man. But even these talented players have trainers and coaches guiding them behind ...

  The Journey To Financial Independence As with all journeys, there has to be a starting point, and the distance between your starting point and your ultimate goal determines the amount of time and course of action needed to reach it.

If you’re 25, college educated, have a great job, have already started accumulating some savings and investments, and your goal is to reach financial independence in 30 years at age 55, your course of action will be totally different from someone who is already 55, broke, out of work and wondering how they’re going to make it to the end of the month. But one thing you all have in common is time. Young, old, rich or poor, everyone has 24 hours a day and seven days a week. What you do with your time determines how quickly, if ever, you reach financial independence. No matter what you’ve done up until now, you have already embarked on your own personal journey through life. Everyone’s journey through life...
