Background, mindset, vision and a strong 'why'
#יםמהשבוי Diana Pinhasov, #Post2
Before I start with the post, I will share that Facebook decided not to be my friends today and for some reason they are boycotting my posts, so today I am sharing with you from Robert's user. So let's get started?
I choose to share with you our vision, which perhaps many will also be able to connect with, which is to reach freedom and economic well-being, a situation where you can work out of choice and not out of necessity.
This vision grew out of the understanding that time is our most valuable resource, we realized that if we achieve financial freedom, we will have much more time for the things that are really important to us.
More time for ourselves, our family, hobbies, trips, personal development and much more freedom of movement. A time to give of ourselves, to be an inspiration, to volunteer and contribute.
Time to live in the moment and not be in a constant race.
We realized that in order to pave the way to achieving financial freedom, we must take care of parallel incomes, beyond the income we are used to receiving in exchange for the time we give.
Several other things that motivated us to action:
We realized that we will not be able to count on the pension when we retire:
The pension we accumulate each month will be able to provide, if at all, about half of the standard of living to which we will become accustomed before retirement. In addition to this, our life expectancy is gradually increasing and personally we are not at all sure that when we reach retirement age there will be money left in the pension funds to pay us. We realized that relying on the state is not enough.
High probability of being fired from the workplace long before retirement age:
Our job is not guaranteed, we can find ourselves out at any given moment.
This is a reality imposed on many by the outbreak of the Corona virus, and can happen for a host of other reasons beyond our control.
Nowadays, after the age of 45 it is significantly more difficult to find a job, the companies prefer a cheaper and younger workforce.
In addition to this, we see that many jobs become automatic or irrelevant and disappear from the world, so our profession is not guaranteed for long either.
After deciding that we want to achieve financial freedom,
We started researching the possibilities and realized that holding real estate is one of the surest ways to accumulate real and stable wealth in the long term.
In the maintenance of real estate assets we enjoy both a current cash flow and an increase in value over the years.
It is probably not for nothing that most of the world's rich have reached financial prosperity through real estate.
We knew that if we wanted to achieve high returns, we had to do real estate overseas and not in Israel.
We chose the USA due to a number of notable advantages: language, transparency, supervision, regulation, a cheap entrance ticket and an abundance of real estate opportunities.
So we have a general vision/goal, but how do we start to pave the way towards such a big goal and really believe that we will be able to achieve it and not stop along the way?
First of all we need to understand that everything starts in our head, consciousness and everyday thinking
As the man of legends, Walt Disney, said:
It, you can do it
There are several stages in personal consciousness-
first step -
Life happens to me, I am not responsible for it
Most people walk a fairly fixed path dictated to them by society when they are not used to identifying options beyond the dictated path. (School -> Army -> University -> Work until retirement)
second level-
Life happens for me, I want something else and I can do something else
I believe that we can choose to lead the reality of our lives.
We have a real possibility to be in control of our lives and choose how to live them.
We have the opportunity to choose to realize our destiny, to choose to fulfill our vision, to choose how much time to invest in each area of our life, to choose what standard of living we will have and how hard we will work to achieve it.
As soon as our thinking changes and we start to believe that everything is in our hands and that everything is possible, we start to recognize many more opportunities and become significantly more creative!!
When we reached this level of consciousness and the desire to fulfill ourselves and lead our lives
The first step we should take is to create a clearer vision for ourselves, a winning picture of the life we want for ourselves and our loved ones.
In my opinion, as long as we don't have a clear vision or clear goals that we want to achieve, most likely we won't achieve them even though we may take some actions to progress towards them. Because if it is not clear enough and not enough in front of our eyes, there is a high probability that we will neglect those dreams following the daily routine.
to make our dreams come true,
We need them to be constantly in front of our eyes.
And preferably they should be as visual and detailed as possible,
and most importantly,
Let a very strong 'why' stand behind them.
Because however difficult it may be to fulfill them,
The strong 'why' behind them will remind us,
Why do we want them so much?
And why we must not abandon them.
This will give us motivation to continue with all our might.
I want to share with you something that is currently happening in my life, I decided six months ago that my child (who was two years old at the time) was going to homeschool with me instead of kindergarten. There were substantial reasons for this, the child who was in the kindergarten for a year, was hardly present there because he was sick a lot and in an exaggerated way, really lived on antibiotics and even ended up being hospitalized for two weeks - it was a terrible time. I decided that no matter how much the doctors say it's fine and it will get better and all children are completely sick at this age and it will pass, after a year of exposure to the bacterial jungle of the kindergarten I didn't see any change and I decided that was enough and I preferred that he get stronger and develop at home.
Thankful for the possibility that I have to take such a step thanks to the fact that I am no longer employed and can manage my time myself. And also for the right to enjoy and be present in the growth, development and education of my son.
And although following this step of transitioning to home education my free time was reduced and the automatic choice could have been to take my foot off the gas in the real estate business, but thanks to the fact that I have a very clear vision and a very strong 'why' behind it, which is to reach financial freedom, to be more free for For myself and my family, to live free from stress and pressure, to do good for ourselves and our environment, these make me continue to act all the time. In the end when there is a clear enough vision that we want to achieve, we become more creative and much more efficient and productive to achieve it.
I think that if I didn't have a clear enough picture in my mind and a strong enough vision for my future and that of my family then life would probably just flow according to the circumstances.
I would love for you to share if you have a clear vision for you and your loved ones, and if you don't have one yet, I encourage you to take 15 minutes for yourself, close your eyes and listen to calm music and imagine your life in 5 years from today. (I am attaching pleasant music along with some questions for guidance in the first response)
Then write to yourself what you saw in your imagination, try to distill and be precise, think about the reason behind this vision and hang it in front of your eyes, when it becomes difficult to implement, the strong 'why' will be there to help you continue doing it.
Remember that writing is a very powerful tool for realizing goals, when we put our dreams in writing, it enters our consciousness much better and it is also desirable to return to what we wrote down frequently and see that we are in the right direction.
Another thing - share your vision out loud with someone close to you, if you want you can also share it here in the comments. Even if it's a vision that seems crazy at the moment and you think to yourself how you will achieve it, when you say it it suddenly starts to seem more real and possible.
Don't give it up - take a quarter of an hour for yourself and allow yourself to float and dream without limits?
Never stop dreaming, wake up and chase your dreams
