Today, sorting through the mailing list, in one of the letters I was hooked by one phrase: “It’s easy to be poor: you turn off your brains, drop your hands and after a while you find yourself in the corresponding company of foul-smelling people somewhere near the metro station …” I thought, but after all indeed, the seeming ease of achieving wealth by other people also has the other side of the coin, which 80% of people do not see, and do not want to notice, because it is easier to justify oneself so poor and unhappy than to understand how many rich people get their wealth, and even more so to pass this way and become rich in spite of everything.
It's not easy to be rich - you need to constantly set goals and go towards them, achieve results, motivate yourself and your environment every day … Being rich means getting out of your comfort zone, starting to do something differently, embedding new ones into your life habits, to constantly be aware of new technologies, new solutions, to process tons of information, in general, to run twice as fast and do several times more, because the world does not stand still, but develops by leaps and bounds, and in order to keep up with it, incredible efforts must be made.
I want to share my personal experience, maybe it will be useful to someone. Some time ago, I fell into a serious financial hole due to inept investment (debts, loans, lack of work and in general any activity), I remember my condition - the memories of when I was experiencing a terrible depression are still very alive. hands dropped and I didn't know what to do, how to get out of all this.
For several weeks I did not crawl out from under the covers in my bed at all, I was engaged only in whining and self-flagellation, it was very scary. This fear overshadowed everything, completely paralyzed the ability to do anything and at least somehow think. For myself, I saw absolutely no way out of this situation. Negative thoughts pulled me into their funnel so much that one day I caught myself thinking, is it worth it to live on, why live, and in general there is a point in it all. I already didn’t care that I had a child, relatives who were not indifferent to me, the destructive force began its irreversible effect.
On one of these days, lying in bed with a laptop, I came across an autobiographical film about an actress who got into a car accident and after terrible trials, despite everything, still got to her feet and returned to the stage. I remember after the film my thought: “Olya, stop, your arms and legs are intact, you are alive and well, that you lay down here and started nursing. There is experience, there is knowledge, you have already started all over again from scratch more than once, which means that you will be able to rise from the minus! " This was the turning point at that moment. I realized how quickly I plunged into a swamp of despair, which sucked in more and more every day, how quickly you get used to living on 50-100 rubles a day, and then it already seems normal and your brain sympathetically tells you: “Well, you can live like that, why do something more, and that's enough."
You can give up a lot and live, limiting yourself in everything. And only you can choose how you live, counting the pennies in your wallet or the profit in your bank account from your business. And here it is absolutely not important who you are, whether you work for yourself or for your boss, you can work for hire, be a highly paid specialist, or you can have your own business and be constantly in debt, then you need to think about whether you need such a business then … And it turns out that the only important thing is what knowledge, skills, experience you have. If something of the above is missing, then go learn or gain experience, since now the Internet allows you to do this, even without having the funds for training.
There are tons of free training courses and trainings to start learning, and sometimes this knowledge is already enough to get started. It is very difficult to give up the illusion, but there is no freebie, and there is no such "loot" button, which one so wants to find, press and wait, sitting on the couch in front of the TV, while millions will fall from above. Only action will make you rich and help you achieve what you really want.
In my life, I stepped on more than one rake to understand this. And sometimes it was very painful and these rake bumps healed for a long time, but I found the strength to get up and start all over again, to clear out the swamp in which I had put myself in search of a “magic pill” called “Big Money”. Only step by step, action by action, from goal to new goal, clearly building your life, applying and integrating everything you learn into your life. It doesn't matter how many times you fell, it matters how many times you got up after that. This is the only way the majority becomes rich. Answer yourself to the question, is it easy to be rich and do you really want it, and what are you willing to do in order to live the life of your dreams?
