What does your financial future look like?

For many people, worrying about their financial future is a persistent habit. But unless you act you will be acted upon. No crystal ball can predict what your financial future holds or even IF there's anyone "holding" that future at all.
By taking risks , daring to get your feet as well as getting professional guidance from your financial advisor, you will be better prepared against sudden financial concussion .
So what elements need to be factored in when executing best financial practices?
Income is the starting point .What about a period of unemployment ? What about an illness ?What about savings ? The jobs we do impact our bank balances.
You might have pondered these a bit but none of these questions can be answered without the careful weighing in of your working life. After all, money doesn’t grow on trees nor will it fall from the sky. Tomorrow isn't promised. Neither is death. So long as there is family , rainmaking or wage-making HAS TO GO ON.
Financial wellbeing means different to different people but preparing for a growing family , meeting future plans , require unremitting attention to plans - whether a Plan A or a B or even a C.
Here's a way to sock some money away for the future .....

INEQUALITY has always been around....

Want To Be Happy? Make A Bonfire Of Your Fake Dreams !

Alain de Botton, the writer and intellectual has some unexpected advice about dreams. Forget them. “There’s a relief to be gained in giving up certain ambitions, if those ambitions really are on the other side of the moon and are getting in the way of other things that are going quite well in your life."

Many workers daydream about leaving their desk jobs behind to chase their true passions but turning fantasies into reality can be a scary walk out onto a limb. Walking away from a cosy job can mean tossing out benefits and perks that have come to define success of the sort everyone is toiling away for and face the unknown.

"Ten years ago I was working as a freelance business editor. I'd just sold my condo for almost twice what I'd paid two years earlier and I decided to take a three-month backpacking trip through Europe. I started in Dublin and ended up in a tree house hostel on Turkey's Mediterranean coast.

Unless you love what you're doing now and would be content with it , there's GRIEF in ignoring or make yourself oblivious to what your real innards are. One place to begin is to dig back into your roots and see IF there's something that runs in the family. Perhaps some smithing ability or a secret recipe that keeps people young or a way to run a marathon under current times etc etc.

Here's a TRAIL to rainmaking ......

But if you have worked long for someone , for a boss , you could have gone into the SITTING DUCK MINDSET.

This invisible affliction urges you to accept life as it comes and that being manipulated , carromed around , shoved here and there and beaten into submission by something , someone , by whatever is 'natural' and you OUGHT TO 'accept it all'.Well , you're what your mind is , what goes on in there is what's shaping you up or out.

 So , what's the 'cure'. It's to go out there and start trekking on some trail , doing something different , going into the woods. Perhaps Mark Twain , says it real well.

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

  One TRAIL families have 'discovered'

Could Low Self Esteem Be Gnawing You Up ?

 While there are times when we all don't at all like who we are, detesting your thoughts and actions is an indication of low self-esteem. Self-dislike is characterised by feelings of temper and frustration about who you are and an inability to forgive yourself for even the tiniest of mistakes.

One cure is to confront  your negative self-beliefs: It’s possible that your sense of who you are is old baggage and has come down to you from others like your parents, ex-partners and colleagues. Don’t be afraid to challenge and edit or rewrite a self-playing own script – it’s your life and it better matter. One such nest of low self esteem feelings finds haven in the work you do.If you've always been a traditional nine to five-er , you could be have had in its clasps.

If there's something that runs in the family , then it's time to shake off and sail in new directions or remain slave to your gnawing low self esteem. It could do wonders for you come the new stretch of time in 2021.

An Art With Twigs....

No skill ever just fell down from the skies , really.Some were born of passion.Some were born of family heritages. But also required an INDIVIDUAL LOVE for it / them.

Here's one such passion:

“The cabin is pretty self-sufficient,” he said (taxes are $1,100 a year). “It has stood by me, been my cohort. There’s no rent to pay, and it’s been a good place to come home and store my stuff. It’s also a place to work ideas out. It became central to my imagining my life as a sculptor.” Read More....

Passion is a positive emotion.Positive emotions populate zing,energies into your life and inject you with cheer unending as you navigate opportunities,broken trails , failed attempts and what not.

Are You Digging New Wells ?

Water wells are dug to access groundwater in underground acquifiers.Wells are inexpensive and a low tech enterprise. Wells had been an important source of water needed for drinking and cooking down the ages.Where surface water was not easily available , wells came to the rescue.If not for wells, Mankind's habitable spaces would have been severely limited and confined. People built permanent communities around wells and water springs These waters enabled farming , irrigation of farmlands,trade, travel and food supply chains.From earliest times WELL DIGGING , digging new wells has been symbolic of finding life,putting down roots and starting communities that grew into nations.Digging new wells has been symbolic of a never give up attitude, of clambering ,overcoming obstacles to stake a family;s or families's future.We all have a need to dig new wells.The digging of new wells is something one NEVER quits on.But wells too are not forever - they can run dry or be out of water down the road.Dig new wells BEFORE your present one runs dry by a layoff ,an illness, or the company has gone under or be imperiled by a yet unseen sudden desolation like that unfolding now with the COVID-19 pandemic.Governments can topple and economies collapse.You owe it to yourself to find new wells.

“When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.”- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), Poor Richard’s Almanac, 1746

Do Something 'Stead Of Being Something..

Too many  things to do, too many places to be at, squeezed of time to do it all. In all areas of our life—home,work, marketplace  —we are increasingly jostled and contained by the perception that there's so little time and we must bulldoze into things to be somebody, someplace.somewhere.We charge like a bison from one commitment or event to another and have gotten ourselves clobbered into thinking that we haven’t a minute to lose. We long to be someone but drag and shortsightedness grab us by the neck and hang us.But until we change our relationship to what we ought to be woodpecking at,instead of rushing around like the Flash, the lives we ought to live will fall over the cliff at severe cost to our happiness and health.

How often people give up the steering of their lives to the wills, winds and shrapnel that litter their paths to the present day ....

Why not spend a tithe of your time online to something that matters?
