I grew up with an abundance mindset. Mr. Savemycents did not. The reason? Wealth. I came from an upper middle class family so I had security since young. He from a blue collar. I take risks and have gambled with my career. He is more conservative and has saved more money (as a percentage of income) before we met.
Both mindsets need to exist in our marriage. However, for many of you in #debtfreejourney you need more abundance mindsets. Here’s how
♥️ don’t see failure as failure. I say, “fail forward” and I mean, learn from your current mistakes, and aim to do better.
♥️ have a security cushion. I keep a 1 year EF for that reason so that I have one year to recover in any case of failure
♥️ trust in a process even if you’ve never done it before
♥️ believe that success is how you define it
♥️ surround yourself with people who push you to be better
♥️ always be grateful for what you ALREADY have. Contentment and joy comes from wanting what you already have
♥️ reflecting on what you’ve already achieved, that you might have been wishing for, even a year ago
♥️ Telling yourself, “I am enough”. I cannot emphasize this enough. I grew up as a perfectionist. I look like I have the perfect life, the perfect job, the perfect everything. But I was unhappy most of my life because I never told myself I was enough. So if I can’t, then neither can you, be perfect. Let it go.
