What Does Freedom Mean To You?
What Does Freedom Mean To
You? Freedom is
personalized, different for each of us. Or, perhaps
not. Ask a room
full of people what it means. And, you will notice that some people can’t
answer until other people start sharing what it means to them. Suddenly they
have several new definitions of freedom. A good way
to find the meaning, and get clarity is to use the Book of Miracles exercise. Let’s apply it here. What is freedom? - Begin with the word ‘freedom’.
- Identify
your meaning of freedom.
- Go deeper
than the symbolism.
- What is the
connotation?
Freedom to pursue Life, Liberty and the
Pursuit of Happiness. - Hold these
truths to be self-evident.
That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. - Also,
freedom is . . .
To create love, to love, to express, to provide for yourself and others, to
travel, to create businesses, and so on.
What is financial freedom?
- For many financial
freedom is to dream, a dream to retire.
- What is the
true definition of retire?
It is an equine term – to put to pasture and wait to die. - Is that
your idea, waiting to die? Or, are you looking for ways to have financial
freedom, to be able to fly high in anything you choose to do?
What are the principles of financial freedom?
- Financial
mindfulness, to see a bigger, promising world for yourself.
- Remove
yourself from the dream stealers, and upgrade your associations.
- Have a
definite plan, and amount in mind.
- Uncover
your passions, discover your whys, and your plan will emerge from digging
deeper.
- Prepare
your desired lifestyle upgrades, and what they will cost you every year:
housekeeper, lawn work, handyman, personal assistant, travel, dining out, shows,
etc.
- Find out
your financial freedom level. Do some math work:
Let’s use 100k as starting point, which isn’t as unrealistic as you may think.
Divide 100k into the # of weeks you want to work each year. Then divide that
into the # of days you want to work each week. 100,000 / 45 = $2,222 per week.
$2,222 / 4 = $555 per day. - Develop
your mission. Complete your 6-month goals.
