The road to wealth is probably the most mysterious path.
Some people love it, others despise it and yet everyone ends up running behind it.
But, Most people aren’t trying to be on the top of Forbes list and compete with Jeff
Bezos or Bill gates, they just want a financial security so that they don’t have to worry
about their main needs.
But in order to survive in the modern world, one way or another you have to get into a
debt.
I mean, if you want to get a car or a house, its pretty much impossible for an average
person without getting a debt.
And unfortunately most Americans end up not paying those debts.
So, is it really that difficult to become financial independent?
No, because just in 2017, more than a million people in United states alone became millionaires!
thats a lot of people!
So, what I was thinking about is, what is the one thing you could do that will certainly
make you rich.
In fact, what is the one thing that everyone can, regardless of their background or where
on earth are they living.
What is the most practical advise that you can implement immediately!
And the answer is: Control Your Ego, because its your ego that has been keeping you poor
all of this time! and here is why!
We all know that we are all in different financial situations, some of us are born into rich
families while others not.
Some of us get a good job right after college while others struggle to find even a bad one.
Some of us successfully builds a business with 1 shot while others succeed only after
failing couple of times.
And thats something absolutely normal, because we all live different lives and we are naturally
different from each other.
But unfortunately our ego forces us to constantly compare ourselves to the people around us
and try to meet the societies standards and norms.
Even if these norms are completely against our interests.
I mean, Lets say you recently graduated and got a good job.
Congratulations!
everything is going the way you want!
But then you look around and see that your friends or colleagues got new cars.
You are going to feel like you are left behind, like you are not cool like them.
In fact, you might feel inferior in front of them if you don't have what they have.
So instead, you are going out there and get yourself into a debt so that you also drive
what others are driving!
Of course it will give you instant emotional satisfaction that you are not a loser but
for the next few years, you probably wont save a single penny, simply because you have
to keep making your debt payment.
And thats all because Your ego pushed you to do what you should not!
If you take a look at your life, pretty much everything you do is a result of your ego.
You didn't want to go to college, but since all of your friends are going, you didn't
want to be like an outsider, so you took the same path.
You wanted to start a youtube channel, you are passionate, you have some great ideas
but you are not going to do that!
Guess why? because your ego is scaring you,
What if you make a video and all of your friends will make fun of you!
What if you drop out and your start up wont work!
what will people say about you!
Thats the voice of your ego!
The point is, stop making your life about others.
Stop comparing yourself to others, because no matter how cool you will be dressed, there
is someone who will be dressed cooler.
There is always someone who will be driving a better car, there is someone who will be
living in a bigger house.
You are living under absolutely different conditions, and if you do not take decisions
based on whats best for you and not what other will think about, forget about financial independence.
Because you will end up wasting your money and time!
