Time: The Possibility Of Success & Failure in Introspection
I talked to a person some days ago about the things that might be achievable for him in the space of five years and what he mostly deemed achievable are what I think might be challenging. The guy has always talked about being a crypto enthusiast, but he's always postponed the learning process.
He felt five years was a long time, to achieve
all he wanted. Some of the things he wanted were to build a house, get married, and have a big business with growing some strings of passive income. This is possible, let's understand the fact people can be extremely lucky without placing themselves in the right position or even deserving it.
Preparations & The Element Of Luck
In life, some people can get lucky without doing anything proportionally right to place themselves in a situation to deserve that element of luck. However, this is very rare. This is why I think one's preparations shouldn't be tailored to the element of luck. Rather, there are levels of preparations we might attain in life, luck would seem inevitable.
The person I was talking to had no solid plan of how he was going to achieve everything he had stated, get had no roadmap, no bright ideas, and no genius plans, he was only banking on time to activate the element of luck with the little preparation he had at hand. I tell people a lot that there's nothing like a "better tomorrow", we can't build hope without having a tangible anchor to tether it.
Time: A Tool.To Utilize?
One thing people fail to understand is that time can activate success, it can also serve failure. A lot of people see "time" as something they have at their disposal, this is the basis or foundation of negative procrastination. One of the reasons people tend to think they have time is because of their procrastinative tendencies, we often think that even if we fail today we can always prepare tomorrow and there might be a probability of excelling in the future.
We fail to understand that any future we do not plan doesn't belong to us, it belongs to the people who are fighting hard to own it. For example, people change their lifestyle when they're under pressure when they could maintain a better lifestyle so they wouldn't have to be under pressure in the first place.
The Motivation To Save?
I know people who struggle to pay their rent, however immediately after they pay it, they go back to spending irresponsibly, rather than thinking of how to pay the next rent, they go back to spending their income recklessly and they'll need their landlords threatening to throw them out before they find the needful motivation to save for their rents.
In reality, the most conscious people are not the richest, they're just minimal people that create rich choices for themselves rather than waiting to be backed into a corner and pushed to the wall and then having to make do with choosing from poor options. Time is the resource we need to create better options for ourselves.
Everyone deserves to be presented with strings of good options to choose from, especially when it comes to money and our finances, but when we don't create them, it becomes a question of choosing the devil or the deep blue sea
To some people, saving is only something they'll do when they're suddenly presented with an emergency.
But..
......What they fail to understand is that life can be unnecessarily hard, spending is something that is only loved by wealthy people, but no matter how much we hate it, we still need to prepare to spend because that's how we get to survive. When you're conscious enough, you'll realize that "time" is a mirage, when we pay too much time to its possibility of longevity, it makes it difficult for us to also realize that time is fleeting as well.
While it's possible to become rich by banking on the possibility of time to bring us goodwill, it's important to realize that, time brings ill luck especially when we haven't bent it to our whims and caprices. Your five years dreams are a possibility, but I've seen people who plan but ended up worse because they didn't exactly know where it went wrong. Before you take a long, think of success and failure, then build a balance, this might help you establish caution and preparations.
Interested in some more of my works?
I like to think of mental preparation as a priming of my Lucky Pump. Cos I get LUCKIER the more I prepare....
Yes, one tend to get luckier the more they prepare, because preparations will utimately yield good fortune
Mmmm, what a great picture of How people live and spend, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading
People just don't understand how powerful compound interest can be. You need either time or money to make that money and it's up to the individual to pick which one is right for them.

It's true, a lot of people do not understand how compound interest can be powerful, especially in the aspect of accumulation.

A wise man once said, "You procrastinate because you feel you can regain the time you let go by." And in actual sense, you really cannot regain time that has been lost. What's even worse is that you really do not know if you can gain any more time at all. Hence, carpe diem!
And for issue of not having a plan... Well, it is the best way to ensure one's failure. Why? Because life will do you dirty in the long run, and it is only those that plan (prepare) for that time that will prevail. Some may be lucky, but there's one thing about luck: It does not go round.
@tipu curate!
😅
PS: I do not remember who the wise man is. I only know I have heard that before.
Luck doesn't go around and mostly people who plan are the ones who benefits from the benevolence of luck, it's why preparations puts us in better position for favorable opportunities though. However it's true that there are people who gets lucky out of the blue, but then we cannot depend on the chanciness of life to get things done. It can be catastrophic.
Hahaha thanks for the attempted tipu
Lmao which one is attempted tipu?😂😂😂
Just as the adage says, he who fails to plan will plan to fail. There is no shortcut to success if you do not make plans and prepare yourself ahead of it.
Someone was telling me he needed money first to get married. Yes, I agree with that because you can't go into marriage without having something to hold onto, but it becomes a bad step when you aren't working to make it happen. You are lazy but waiting for money to come. Where will it come from? The sky?
If we think there is still time to save or do other things, we would be caught up along the way that at that time, it will be too late then. It is better one takes charge now and do what he or she is supposed to do before time flees away.
Hahaha first of all I don't think anyone should be getting married without actually having any means of sustainability, something as marriage.
Having plans for the unknown and unknown is is something we must basically adhere to. However the truth of the whole situation is that there's no two ways to life other than to be prepared and put ourselves in comfortable positions at all time. Life's full of opportunity but we have to work for them.
Preparation breeds a complete satisfaction..... If there is any quote like that and if not, then I should make it my own version for this year 🤣🤣🤣
You are indeed right. You must be ready to make plans to achieve the best.
Oh my hehe, for some reason, this part was somehow audible to my ears.
That is the hard truth, though, and if we try to be direct with people who make no plans but have high financial expectations with money, they think one either doesn't believe in them or is just being rude. So sometimes we just have to sit back and watch from a distance, hoping that time will give them a chance to see reality through experience.
