IS THERE A WAY OUT OF THIS MESS?


A lot of people today are very concerned about their finances. Will they have enough to make ends meet, will they lose their jobs, will they have enough money to retire, etc.

Maybe you made bad financial decisions in the past. Maybe you incurred needless debt. Maybe you didn’t save enough. My advice: give yourself a break-everyone makes mistakes and we all learn from them.

The fastest way to get rid of regrets is to acknowledge them and “burn them up”. It’s not about the money, it’s about living the life YOU want to live.

Most often we compare ourselves to other people and they are comparing themselves to us. What a waste! We are all different, we all have different goals, and we should not be put into a cookie cutter mold.

Maybe you can live well on very little depending on your needs. Maybe you want millions so you can share with the less fortunate. Success is not measured in how many toys we have but in relationships and if our life is making a difference in society.

What money can do is buy you freedom to focus on what is important in your life. It’s never too late to get started!

Forget your past mistakes. Don’t focus on how other folks are doing compared to you. Find out what is really important to you and you will find yourself moving in the right direction with motivation, hope and faith.

Get started NOW!

Hello Jacques, Thank you for the lovely post. It reminds me of "count your many blessings" If you still have money in the bank or in the stock market and did not loose it all. Count your blessings. Be thankful for the good things that you have. Do you still have a home? Do you have food on the table? Count your blessings. Keep up the good work.
