BE CONTENTED AND BE FOCUSED: In the world today are so many things that keeps people thinking of how to get more and more of the good things they need that so many of them wants to get it by every means even if it takes killing their fellow human being, in your own case you don’t need to loose it like they are doing, there are so many ways of killing a rat, all you need to do is ” have a target” dream about where you want to be in life, then think big about it, start saving small about it and start doing it now” don’t say I’m still young, there is still time, let me enjoy myself now maybe when I reach twenty five or thirty something years of age before I will get to begin to plan for my future and because of that you keep spending all your money buying reigning flashy things like: shoes, clothes, phones, televisions etc. Save those money that you should have used buying them, if you must buy them, then go for the ones that does not cost you big amount of money, you will see someone people who still have long way to go about their future: Buying three or four different kinds of big phones just because they want to have all the mobile networks in their phones or because they want to influence the person they in relationship with. Keep the part of those money that you should have used to buy all these things, the time is coming when you will be buying cars, lands, building houses and buying the best of the flashy things and still have much enough to continue to enjoy yourself with.
THE TIME IS NOW: Some people will wait until they earn much before they can think of making savings, those people I say must have to wait for a very long time because it is from a little that comes the much they are expecting, remember that the Bible says according to the book of Luke 16:10: He who is faithful in what is little is faithful in what is much; he who is unjust in what is little is unjust in what is much! Meaning, if you can not save from ten naira, you can never save from ten million,as simple as that, so train yourself to save when you have little so you can be able to save when plenty comes.
BE DETERMINED: See my beloved good friend, if you are now convinced about what I’m telling you about financial growth, then, the number one thing you must do if you truly desire to achieve this goal of becoming financially independent, is that you must first of all observe all the good things of this life and making yourself a promise with determination that all these good things of this life is yours to enjoy, then that alone is enough to give you the urge to make savings for yourself from what you are earning from your present job, don’t tell me Emmanuel you will not understand because you don’t know the kind of job I’m doing presently and how much I’m earning from it, I do understand, just give it a try and find out how tremendous the outcome of it will become, just be determined and be consistent with this little you are earning now.
Just know that one of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quiting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. And everyone of us is guilty of making this mistake at one time or another. Just believe what Robert Schuller says, ” QUITTERS NEVER WINS, WINNERS NEVER QUITS “.
A man by name; R.U Darby was caught by the gold fever in the gold-rush days and he went to dig and grow rich, forgetting that more gold had been mined from the brains of men than it has been taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to work with his pick and shovel, the going got hard but his lust for gold was definite.
After many weeks of labour, He was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. He needed a machinery to bring the ore to the surface. He quietly covered up the mine and retraced his footsteps back to his home in Williamsburg, Maryland, and he told his relatives and a few of his neighbors about the strike. They gathered money together for him to buy the needed machinery, he bought it and had it shipped. Then Darby and his Uncle went back to work the mine.
No long afterwards, the first car of the ore was mined and shipped to a smelter. The returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear their debts. And would bring a huge profit to them.
As they drill goes down, so their hopes goes up! But something unexpected happened. The vein of the gold ore disappeared! They had come to the end of the rainbow and the pot of the gold was no longer there! They drilled on desperately trying to catch up the vein again but their efforts paid nothing.
Finally their hopes had lost and they decided to quit. They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars and took the train back home. So it was told that the junk man now called in a mining engineer and asked him to look at mine and do some calculations. After his calculations, he advised that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with the fault lines. His calculation showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where Darby had stopped drilling and that was the exact place it was found.
