There is that something that is holding most people back from living their dream lifestyle. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I will try and let you figure out what it could be. I am also trying to figure out this elusive thing that is holding me back from living my best life.
We Must Let Go Of The Past
Most people that I have come across attribute their lack of not being able to create the lifestyle they want on events from the past. They may say that their parents or other loved ones passed away suddenly and that made them go into depression.
Others may blame business partners or family members for getting them into debt. They may blame parents or family members for not enabling them to pursue the opportunities the wanted in life.
It’s always some event or someone from the past that is responsible for them not living their best life. It’s never their own fault or lack of action.
There may be some truth in the events or people from your past holding you back from your dreams. The sad reality is that, you are are still holding onto that, after many years have passed.
You should have brushed aside the incident and cut out the people involved. You should have worked on your dream, but you decided to carry on using the incident and people to justify your underachievement.
Some people hold onto this blame from the past for many years, some event carry it to their grave. You must let go of the blame and free yourself. This freedom will enable you to take action towards building your dream lifestyle.
If the past is not helping you, then you must let it go. The best option is to learn whatever you can from the incident or the way people treated you and move on.
I have had my share of unfortunate incidents and nasty people from the past. I need to clear these memories and not let them affect my mindset and future plans.
You may have lost a large amount of money or got yourself into debt. If you are still in good health and mentally stable, you will be able to find a way out of the rut. Don’t let your past destroy your future and your present happiness.
Don’t Give Up Until You Have Made It
You may have made many plans on how to create your dream lifestyle. You may have put in a lot of effort and failed to achieve your goals, but you are not done until you give up.
The only time you fail is when you give up. You must learn from your failure and create another plan that will enable you to achieve your desired goal. You may fail with that plan, but you should never give up. Learn from each failure and work on another plan.
If you continue learning from your failures and crafting and taking action on modified plans, eventually you will achieve your desired goal.
When Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light bulb was asked “How does it feel to have failed 10,000 times?”, he replied “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” He went on to illuminate the world with his invention.
Every attempt you make will get you closer to your goal. After every failure, you have the option to give up or to have another attempt.
Your willingness to have another attempt or not will depend on how bad you want the thing that you are working towards. If your dream is important enough, you will always have another attempt.
Not Every One Wants The Same Thing
Some people may want to have many luxury mansion, a fleet of super cars, yachts, private jets… others may just want to become debt free, build a steady passive income stream and travel the world.
You need to figure out exactly what you want your life to look like, the possession you want to have and the experiences you want to go through.
My goal is to create time freedom and pursue my dream of writing short stories. I will need to create a passive income stream that will enable me to cover my living expense and quit my current employment.
I am currently working as a security officer to enable me to cover my living expenses. If I can build a passive income stream that enables me to earn approximately $5,000 monthly, I would quit my job and focus on writing short stories.
If you don’t have a passion for something, you will never become happy. You may be earning over $100,000 monthly, but if you cannot find something that you truly enjoy, you life will always have a lack of fulfilment and purpose.
Take some time to figure out what you truly want to achieve or do… find your life purpose. Once you know what you truly want, it will motivate you towards creating the environment and acquiring the tools to build your desired lifestyle.
I know what I want and how much money I need every month to enable me to do it. I don’t really need any extra equipment to pursue my dream of writing short stories, it’s all in my mind!
What I need is the time freedom to enable me to write these stories. Currently, I am working 12 hour long shifts as a security officer. I need to work to cover my monthly living expenses.
If I could find a way of earning $5,000 monthly by working only a couple of hours daily, I could then devote the rest of the day to writing my short stories.
