Very often, in order to achieve success, it is not enough just to tighten your belts tighter at the moment. It’s not the level of income that determines happiness, but the ability to save. But what if the willpower is not enough? Forget about her!
The more you try to force yourself, the less after a while you will succeed. Willpower works only in the short term, but if you want to walk with tight belts for a year or two, you will have to lose weight. Of course, this is not about actually losing weight (although it is also useful to wish for a minimum for this), but as a metaphor.
We very often want money from heaven, and right now. But this is unrealistic. You can get money from heaven (again, a metaphor), but now you have to work hard. And you will most likely not receive from the sky, but simply a good salary or an increase in the number of clients. But now we must deprive ourselves of entertainment. No, this is also not necessary. Otherwise, how do you think to recuperate after a hard day's work? But one must learn to enjoy small things. Moreover, this in general should accompany you in life.
Here are some examples:
1. Yes, I want to earn more, but at the moment everything suits me. There is simply no limit to perfection.
2. Yes, I want to become a master of communication with the opposite sex, but so far I do not know how. It's okay, I'll learn. I will be better able to communicate naturally.
When we want mountains of gold, we have two strategies. The first is to be exhausted. We start to work very hard and unproductively. As a result, we burn out, and then there is generally not enough strength or will to start something elementary.
The second is inaction. If the first strategy, although unproductive, but adult, then the last is called infantile hedonism. But how to enjoy small things? First, you need to set a clear goal - to enjoy one sip of your favorite drink, a glass of juice in an expensive restaurant, and so on.
When it comes to spending, you need to learn how to enjoy small expenses. And in order to fully enjoy, one must also enjoy the anticipation and aftertaste. Does not work? It's okay, try. Never did anything and no one succeed the first time, remember this. If you want something more, now learn to be content with little. Otherwise, when you get more, you will not be satisfied with that either. Many millionaires have not known happiness because they constrict themselves to needs. Freedom is when a lot of money is not spent.
