Mindset & Freedom
Today I want to start my journal by sharing something important I learned from a YouTube lecture. The points really stuck with me, and I want to capture them here:
- Financial Freedom: Financial freedom means living life without stress about money. When you control money, it doesn’t control you. Money gives you freedom, independence, and control. It becomes a tool rather than a source of tension.
- Dreams vs Achievable Goals: Dreams can sometimes feel imaginary or impossible. But goals are realistic and achievable. With planning, learning skills, and consistent effort, you can accomplish your goals.
- The First Big Goal: Financial Freedom - This is your first major objective. It's difficult but not impossible to achieve it; you need:
- Belief Leads to Action: The moment you truly believe you can do it, your journey starts. Skills give control, and control provides freedom. Goals become achievable and realistic, not just imaginary.
- Summary Thought: Financial freedom is your first big goal. Achieving it requires internal changes, continuous learning, and a strong belief in yourself. Once you have that belief, everything else, planning, effort, skill-building, falls into place. I personally understood and found it most valuable.
