Think Rich

The past few days has been marred by few other realizations. One of them is the fact that a lot of people in my hometown do not have a sense of financial management. Come to think of it, I was once in their exact shoes; always concerned about spending. What really gets me is how some people can be too concerned about a few pesos, that it is almost becomes a deciding factor for their lives.

Peso Sense

It's not that I am advocating spending. What I am after is financial freedom. Totally a cliche, but life is too short to be trapped in the poor man's mind setting. By this I mean, when people are concerned about a few pesos then their priorities are not quite set properly. An individual who knows how to manage finances can spare a few hundreds or thousands without getting too concerned because they know that they will be able to earn so much more; because they know how to demand for money; because they know their worth.

When I was in high school, I had to accept several freelance jobs in order to save some money and pay for my occasional frivolities in life. This continued until university where I had to do part time jobs and do whatever is available to earn a few bucks. I thought I was working hard.

But looking back at it, I could have been smarter if only I was able to look at the bigger picture. To be honest, I still do not see much but I do realize that fate favors the bold. Therefore I only need to jump into the fray to be able to actually gain that nine figures a month. And I am claiming that I will be able to gain that.

Years ago, a fortune teller foresaw that I will be a millionaire. But she was wrong. I was not born to be a millionaire; I am destined to be a billionaire. My potential is vast, and almost infinite so why do I need to limit myself from gaining what I deserve.

This is the mind set of a successful person who does not worry about spending for himself; or occasionally for others. I just hope that others may also see what I saw.
