Why You Should Live Now and Not Postpone Your Life and Dreams

Most of us have been taught to save our money and to put it into things like 401(k)s, IRAs, and mutual funds.  We've been told to slowly hoard and accumulate our money so we can someday retire and live out our golden years in comfort.

The unfortunate reality is that living by this accumulation strategy of financial planning doesn't produce a comfortable retirement for many that adhere to it. And it has another, more immediate consequence: it keeps people from living the life they deserve.  

When people focus on accumulating net worth, they trap themselves into a lean and frugal existence. They forego and postpone. They put off their dreams because living them would cut into their precious nest eggs.  

Abiding by this kind of thinking is not only sad, it's fallacious, limiting, and unproductive.

Some of the most magical moments that Freedom FastTrack clients experience come when they realize that they can not only can live the life they want to – they should.  When the insistence to hoard and accumulate is replaced by a focus on productivity and value creation, you not only accelerate your money and increase its utility, you enable yourself to live according to your Soul Purpose.  You increase your human life value and live more abundantly.  Your focus turns from limiting your consumption in order to hoard money, to producing and maximizing value for yourself and others.

And there are other psychological consequences that result from a focus on accumulating money.  It's insidious, but there's a tendency toward greed, fear, and a shrugging acceptance of life on its terms.  Life seems uncertain and not to be trusted.  For example, investments made in the markets by those under the sway of an accumulation mindset are dictated by the ebb and flow of something far beyond their control.  Their "investments" are based on guessing and gambling, and there's nothing confidence-inspiring about that.

But when you focus on serving others and cultivating a financial strategy based on utilization, you're not only far more likely to succeed, you're living life on your terms.  And that means having complete understanding and confidence in your financial investments, and in every aspect of your finances, really.  Under those kinds of conditions, buying something you dearly want or living the way you would choose is not a decision to feel guilty about or fear, but an investment in your happiness and abundance.

Are you living the life you most want?  Are there things you'd like to own or dreams you'd like to live?  Would you like to know how to make them a reality?
