Why do you feel not enough?

Society has made us think that we are not enough: you do not have a house, you do not have a husband/wife/serious relationship, a career or something else. The truth is that society wants to feed you an illusion of a perfect life so that it can force you to buy things.For example, they sell you the idea that your life cannot be complete without a house, and they will force on you a mortgage so that you can buy a house, and then you will get into debt so that you can live a life that you may not want. Maybe your idea of a happy life is to be free, not being in debt for a house because maybe you have not decide were you will settle, that for a moment you want to see places and explore the world.

The world is big and you might feel helpless in front of the life’s events, trust me, don’t panic. It takes a lot of courage to be as you are in this moment in time: broken, happy, conflicting as it may seem. Feel your emotions and make a plan. Don’t ever feel that you are behind in life, because you are on your own path. Nobody has experimented your life and what it took to get here, you are right were you are supposed to be. Keep going, you will succeed. Keep going, you are going places. You can do whatever you want. Believe in yourself.

Protect yourself

Protect your intimacy

Protect yourself

Protect your pace

Protect your mind

Stand silent in the storm of words

Of others

Stand silent in the chaos

Protect your soul

By revealing only to those

Who really deserve to know you

Not everyone needs to have access to you

to your story

or to your life.

Have the courage

I hope you have the courage to start something you like.. I hope that you find it in yourself to be strong and take decisions based on your beliefs not on the others’. Take the uncomfortable action: it is better to take the action today than to wait for the perfect decision. Life will not provide you the perfect circumstances, that is what the best decision you can take is the one taken today.

I recommend you read “The 12 Weeks Year” by Brian P. Morgan & Michael Lennington. They say in order to create a business, you need to align what you want in life, in personal life with the values of the company. Also, they suggest to create a long term vision and to split it in small 12 weeks plan> you need to work on 7 areas: spiritual, spouse/partner, family, community, physical, personal, business. Below 2 quotes that I have found in this book:

Lou Cassara: ” If you want something you currently don’t have, you need to do something you currently are not doing.”

Jack Welch: ” There is no such thing as work life balance. There are work life choices, and you make them and they have consequence.”

I hope that these rows helped you in a way or another, or at least introduced you to a nice book to read. I hope that you have the courage to do everything you want in life and remember it does not have to be huge, just a little step as time passes. Doing small actions of courage will take you through an adventurous life.

Your duty

Your duty is to be yourself

In every moment, in every hour,

Your duty is to be true

to Oneself.

Your duty is to cry

When you need to

Your duty is to have the courage to be

yourself…in every moment you live

However you may feel

Good or bad

Because the world needs you

Just as you are.

Your duty is to feel your emotions,

to take the space that the world has kindly arranged it for you 🙂

Because you may not think about it,

But the world needs you, you have a duty to the Universe

Whether you think about it or not, to be just who you are .

Be kind to yourself

If you ever wonder:

You are worth it

You are needed

I hope you never doubt it

that you have an impact on others

Someone else life may be better because of you

Whether you know it or not

Because a word you said …

..when you never thought that it matters

Because of a smile you gave..

..when you just felt like it

You made someone else life better

Without you ever noticing.

So, be who you are without constrains

the world needs you as you are 🙂

How to be wise with money

Have you ever struggled with money? Maybe you didn’t have all the money you needed while growing up or maybe now, you have a decent amount of money, but you keep overspending. Money is just one aspect of your life. The relationship with money starts in your mind.

What you are planning to achieve in your life? Do you want a family? Or do you want to live on your own terms? Having a clear perspective of your goals helps you budget better and stay on your track with your finance. If you are at the point in your life where do you want to travel the world, a house may not be a priority, so your budget may something like this: 50% needs/general expenses, 30% travel budget and 20% savings. In that part of 20% of savings, you can save 10% for a house in the future and 10% for emergencies, this way you are not spending all your have.

In case you are already married, or you have a child, you may wish to have a house. In that case, many people go to a bank and ask for a credit. They will be in debt for the next 10-30 years for an asset they wish to posses. So, if you are planning to own a house, start searching the best bank credits with small interest rates, but beware of the hidden costs such as commissions. From my personal point of view, you should make a credit only when you are ready , not at the pressure of society to own a house. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing . If you are comfortable with staying in a rented house, go ahead and do that for a couple of years before figuring things out. For me, personally, going in debt in order to buy a house is not applicable, since I consider that you should have a job that you are passionate about or at still like doing it, or working in a field that you see yourself working in for years. You need to be able to have a job, a steady income for that debt to be re-payed over the years.

Regarding investments, the best investment you can made is into yourself. It seems logical, that you are the only person that you will always have. So, be strong mentally and psychically fit, you can achieve everything you want.

In order to be financial wise, I recommend reading all Robert T. Kiyosaki’s books (https://www.richdad.com/, consulting Investopedia site (https://www.investopedia.com/) and The Financial Diet (https://thefinancialdiet.com/).

I hope that this help in some way or another..

Thank you reading 🙂
