Climbing a Financial Wall

I’ve been on the Financial literacy journey since 2012. I started because the energy within me and externally were negative.

This day and age, we would call it toxic and maybe add a hashtag. My friends and I were spending money without any discretion and complained how we were broke.

The Truth: merely acknowledging a problem doesn’t indicate any intent to solve the problem.

Biking Pass My Own Obstacles

I found out about a bike path that summer (2012). I proclaimed that I was going to ride over 75 miles, which would require that I got up as early as 5:30am.

When the day came, I woke up at 9:45am. My roommate eventually walked out and asked about the bike ride. He likely asked to hold me accountable, or to double down and reaffirm that “see even the best of us, don’t commit.” I didn’t want that to be our story. It was definitely not going to be my story. So I pulled myself together and left at 10:30am. Unprepared and with no water, I biked 75 miles (round-trip).

It was terrible. I damn near crawled the last 5 miles. But I did it.

If I could do that, surely I could tackle consumer debt and grow wealth. The bike ride was a mental block. It was the moment we all find, the wall. What seem insurmountable but damn near doable if you allow yourself to get over your wall.

The question for you, “Do you want to climb your wall?“

Mental Road Blocks of Growing Rich

Some people are dealing with ingrained notions that wealth is somehow evil.

Either this was framed in our youth by our parents, our church or our environment; having money and spending money became taboo. Rewarding ourselves with money is another issue. As if we were starved for emotional support; any time we win at something or perceive ourselves to win, we spend it. These are all part of the money trauma that are keeping us poor.

Push through because the goal of money is not just to have a nice car, big house, or fancy wardrobe. The end goal is to live, to have access and to build. Go one step beyond and establish your why.

To attract money into your life, you must believe that you are worthy of happiness. To experience real joy, you shouldn’t base your happiness on the “When I get there” mentality. It’s the mentality that you’ll only be happy when you achieve this, get that, or buy this or have that.
