1. What Is A Financial dream?
(extracted from Ojijo’s The Gift Of E11even Moves To Make Me Wealthy)
My financial dream is the final thing or things I want in my life. It is the ultimate
financial goal of my life, the where I am going, and the destination I seek. It is the
basic building block of my success. Nietzsche wrote, ‘He who has a why, can bear
with almost anyhow’. My financial dream is the why?
The clear and vivid picture of this final destination is the vision. Helen Keller, the
blind, deaf and dumb motivational speaker and teacher was once asked, ‘what
would be worse than being born blind’, and she responded, ‘to have sight but no
vision’. The vision is the key that will keep me focused. Hubert H. Humphrey said,
‘What I see is what I can be.’ Indeed, half the battle in life of getting what I want is
worn when I know what it is I want; the other half is worn when I do what I
must do to get it.
My financial dream is what I want so badly, that I am willing to pay any price to
achieve it. It is that which lingers in my mind 24 hours a day. It is something I
think about every moment. Zadok Rabinowitz correctly said, ‘A man's financial
dreams are an index to his greatness.’ Konrad Adenauer was correct when he
said, ‘We all live under the same sky, but we do not have the same horizon.’ Today,
I must find my financial dream and stand by it. ‘A man who stands for nothing will
fall for anything.’ said Malcolm X, the African-American Muslim minister, public
speaker, and human rights activist.
My financial dream is the compelling reason why I do what I do every day. It is the
reason why I wake up early, go to work every day. Why I do something is more
important than what I do, or how I do it. Angelo D’Amico was in agreement when
he wrote, ‘if the financial dream is big enough, the facts do not count.’
My financial dream gives meaning to my actions; it explains my activities the whole
day. I have got to have a financial dream I am willing to work hard for, and fight
for. Poor people remained poor simply because that is the only world they
know.
In investing, my main financial dream is to become financially free. I will be
perfectly honest to myself with regard to money and to the amount I want to
acquire in life. 'Zig' Ziglar taught, ‘anyone who says I am not interested in money
will lie about other things as well’. Pretending that I do not care about money
when I really do will only make me unhappy. The old maxim is appropriate, ‘me
lie the loudest when me lie to myself.’
