Don’t Put Your Happiness on Hold

If you’ll watch this short 5-minute video, you’ll hear me talk about “enjoying the journey” toward your wealth. Instead of putting your “happiness on hold”, I talk about being happy WHILE you’re getting out of debt and working toward a life of financial freedom.

One of the reasons I bring this up is that for too long, I put my own happiness on hold, until I reached certain financial goals. I had a mountain of credit card debt and bills. I was living in a beat-up mobile home. And I was struggling to get by, working at a series of dead-end jobs.

And I don’t regret any of that, because the pain of living that life gave me the motivation I needed to do whatever it took to get out of that situation - and create a life of financial freedom. What I DO regret is that I waited until I reached certain financial goals - to let myself be happy.

If I had to do it all over again? I’d happily work toward my goals. I would moan about my failures or lack of money. I wouldn’t share my hard-luck stories with others. I’d go back and enjoy the process of getting out of debt and building real wealth.

Because life, I believe, is about the journey. It’s about what we do and who we become in the process. Am I happy today? Absolutely! And I’m extremely happy to be sharing what I’ve learned with others.

But if there’s something I’d change, it would be to go back and really find my happiness where I was at the time. As a good friend of mine says, “You have to grow where you’re planted.” :0)

Anyway, that’s my message for this week. Watch the video - and, if you have a spare moment, leave me a comment. I always appreciate hearing your thoughts about these weekly posts.

Have a great weekend!

Best Wishes,
