Episode 25 - Preparing for that Future!

Blooming Voices Podcast

Continuing our talk about the future, we discuss ways to plan for it financially, how it's okay to put long-term goals on hold as we build up funds for them, and more.
Takeaways

• Planning for the future takes some ….planning. Look at your long game in life, not just the short term.
• You can have “both and” in life. You can invest, save, spend, and live the life of your dreams. Just plan for it and get creative. Believe you can have it all.
• In pursuing a creative career, make sure you have the financial health to keep you from stressing.
• You’re never too young to start saving for retirement.
• Unless you’re off the grid completely, how can you be part of the system and yet be green? Electricity, cryptocurrency, they’re here to stay.
• Distribute your budget money as you require, but know that you make this choice, and you’re not taking money away from one area to give to another.
• Life is a balance. It’s a trade-off. Sometimes, you may have to give up or hold off on certain pursuits to go after others and that’s okay.
• Words have real power. How you speak about yourself and your life matters, so speak nicely! (Ex: Instead of “I can’t afford this”, ask, How can I afford this?” or “ I’ll be able to afford this when the time is right and that excites me.”)
• Don’t look at your current circumstances as an indication of future possibilities.
• Get creative in how you make things work. Need side money? There’s lots of possible jobs, including selling creations.
• The truth of what you see and experience is based on what you truly believe about yourself at a subconscious level. That is why two people can never have the same exact experience. Even salt tastes different between people.
• “I’ve done this before, I can do it again!” - Keep this in mind, but also that things may occur differently this time.
• You are actively creating your reality with your thoughts. Change your thoughts and you change your reality. The next thought drives the next moment.
