Financial “Pace” of Mind

by | Oct 20, 2009

On my beach walk this morning, I stopped thinking for a few minutes and started watching the different speeds by which people used to move about the planet.

Some people had a slow, sauntering pace while others zoomed by as if they had many a place to go before noon.

It occurred to me that perhaps each of us has a ‘financial pace’ as well.

Think about it for a second…some people want to get where ever they are going fast, they want to be there right now, they can barely wait.

While others are just as happy (or perhaps happier), taking it easy, moving slowly toward their goals and seem to enjoy many a rose along the way.

Either way is fine, except when you don’t know which way is yours!

So today, stop for a moment and think about your preferred pace on this journey to financial freedom. It was only a few short decades ago that people really didn’t think much about how ‘fast’ they were getting there. They just got a good job, saved money along the way and prepared for their time in retirement.

Things seem different now. People want to ‘get there fast’ so they can do what they want to do now instead of later. What if you could just do what you want to now part time instead of waiting to do it full time later?

Your sense of financial pace is deeply tied to what motivates you from the inside, to take action, to move forward. Your financial pace is yours and yours alone.

Enjoy it…
