Today is the day
Why is today the day? Why am I deciding today is the day to change? Why am I even changing? Do I even know what I am doing? These are all questions I am now asking myself after I decided that today was the day to start doing things with a bit more intention than what is “normal” to me.
Why is today the day?
Today is the day, because if not today, then when? I was faced today with a decision to either start getting serious about finances and the outcomes of my choices now, or just continuing to live the way I have been without a care in the world for the future. I always thought to myself I have a good enough head start to be comfortable as long as I am not digging myself to deep into a whole, I should be good right?
Why am I deciding today is the day to change?
Today is the day that I am deciding to change because I am tired of being comfortable. I am becoming to complacent with the way things are going and it’s time to change to grow mentally, financially, and physically. I have thought about all the what ifs and I have been thinking more than ever before, but if all I do is think, and not act, then nothing will ever be done.
Why am I even changing?
Have you ever seen a post on Instagram or Facebook, or even read an article and thought “Man, that really makes sense”. Well, this was my reason for changing. I sit down every night after work and just binge watch YouTube videos, and yesterday I came across a section of YouTube where content creators were speaking about how they were able to retire at 35 (I’m 37 years old) and I thought to myself, how is that even possible? How do people make this happen at such an early age when both of my parents work, and continue to work well into their 60’s and 70’s.
While I was watching these videos, I discovered a lot of people were speaking about a book called Financial Freedom by Grant Sabatier and I was very intrigued so I downloaded Audible with a free trial of course, and got 2 free credits and decided to give this book a listen while bulldozing at my day job. This book within the first hour really changed my mind about a lot of the financial plays I was doing and also made me think about the future plays I was going to have to take in order to move forward in my life.
Do I even know what I’m doing?
Honestly, I have no idea what I am doing. I have never really thought about my finances or any real futures until recently. I have always just done as much as I can do in order to keep busy and keep moving forward, but now I am taking all of my free time to learn how to organize. I am taking all the time I used to sit around and watch TV or watch YouTube and educating myself on the next steps on moving forward with direction. I’m taking this moment to start Doing Life Efficiently.
This is just the first step of many steps climbing the stairs to Doing Life Efficiently. I hope you follow me on this journey, enjoy some of the stories along the way, and learn as much as you can from my experiences.
