This is how I got thru it..

 

First I was telling myself the story I had “too much debt to do anything”. I was being reactive instead of proactive. Blaming anything and everything (but myself, the real culprit!) on why i couldn’t have that better life.

 

In  2021, I was sick and tired of those excuses and stopped blaming everything else that wasn’t going “right”. Everything in my life that was happening, whether it was great things or not so great things - was MY fault. So it was time to take responsibility and ownership and fix this issue *I* created.

 

But I was living paycheck to paycheck. So I didn’t want to once again say, “I can’t do anything because I have no money”. Sure you CAN say that - but once again, you’re blaming external circumstances to stop you.

 

So, I decided I was going to get a second job. Now hear me out - I was someone who counted down the hours and days until Friday and literally DREADED Sundays. I couldn’t stand working for someone else and being so unfulfilled. And the LAST thing I wanted to do was work ANOTHER job, let alone 7 days a week!!

 

But I went for it and got a second job waitressing. I told myself this is a short term sacrifice for the long term goal. I worked every Friday right after work, all day Saturdays and Sundays - FOR 6 MONTHS!

 

I paid off all my debt and got to save a nice chunk for my savings account. Best calculated risk I ever did for myself so I could set myself up for a calm nervous system when leaving the 9-5 by end of year.

 

I’m not saying you have to do the same thing but I was SET on a goal of leaving the 9-5 THAT year and in order for me to complete that I had to bring in additional income fast. There are other ways to do so as well, but you are going to have to get creative and do the work!

Sitting in your cubicle, complaining you don’t have enough coming in is not going to help you. You have got to take responsibility with your life to do the hard work now so it GETS to be easier later. That counts for debt, savings or really anything in life. You see my life smooth right now but it was a LOT of hard work and short term sacrifices to get to where I am now.

 

I’m I hope this was inspiration for you to stop waiting for someone to save you and do the hard work and start today. The more you wait, the more you are pushing out this life that is MEANT FOR YOU!
