Stand Strong in Mind & Pocket

Standing strong can mean a lot of things in life, yet I want to expand on this and talk about being able to stand strong in Mind & Pocket.  In other words, keeping your mindset in the right place and being frugal with your pocket in order to enjoy life the way you want.

Stand Strong In Mind

Discipline yourself

Cut a little slack – don’t penalize yourself for every little thing

Understand, adapt and then stick to it.

Stand Strong in Pocket

Live within your means

Calculate your risks

Watch your costs

Reward within reason, everyone needs a free day.

Mind & Pocket work together

I listed a few things above, but we need to remember money is only a tool.  It will take you wherever you want, but it will not replace you as the driver.  In other words, you need to be strong when it comes to your pocket and know how to use your tool.  

Money will give you the means for satisfying your desires, but it will not provide you with those desires.  You need your mind to guide you in order to understand where you are going and how to adapt.

A great way to think about this is to not make money your goal.  Instead pursue things that you love doing and do it so well, that the money will follow or show up as you go.  You can be as rich or as poor as you think you are.

How Do Others Stand Strong

Not everything is simple and straightforward, we need to learn and understand before we pursue it.  Then adapt and make it a habit, then make those goals easier to stick to.  For instance, learn, do and teach!

• • •  Live within your means:  In order to grow you need to start somewhere.  Don’t think you don’t have money in order to get what you want.  Find a way and then grow on that.  In other words,  use your mind and think of ways to get it.
  • • Discipline yourself:  Take your emotions out of it and think.  Find the right reason and make it worth the effort you put into it. 
  • •  Calculate your risks:  Just because something looks good now, will it after a while.  Know if things are going to be on a bumpy ride or smooth, then see if you can hold on.  For instance,  prices will fluctuate up and down.  Are you ready?
  • • Sharp eye on hidden costs:  fees and dues are usually hidden in the fine print.  Hence, read everything so you won’t be caught by surprise.  Own instead of renting or learn to do it yourself, instead of hiring someone else to do what you can do.

Standing strong in mind & pocket can have so many benefits when it comes to standing on your own two feet.  When you get your mindset looking forward, your pocket will grow to where you can live the way you enjoy.

P.S.   Standing Strong on your own two feet begins with you.  Building yourself up from the foundation will move you farther in life, love and the things around you will become brighter.  Come and join me to begin a new stand on life.

Keep Smiling
