The journey towards financial freedom is a journey towards understanding oneself. In living the principles of living within my means, saving and investing as well as growing and protecting my means, I learn more about myself as I take each tiny step towards the ambitious goal of not having to “work” for a living.
One key lesson I continue to learn is to embrace change. Just as the President of the United States Barrack Obama came up with his slogans for CHANGE and YES WE CAN. I believe change is the inevitable part of learning and growing as a person.
While we may still be the same person in our physical skins, mentally, as we learn about new knowledge, skills and abilities, we change. And as we trade our youth and years for experience and wisdom, we emerge a slightly different person. We see things from a different perspective. We examine our past with better insights about the stupid things we used to do. We look forward to the future with growing confidence that, YES WE CAN adapt to the changes that will continually challenge us in our journey towards financial freedom.
