We often live our lives like there’s never enough time to accomplish the things we need to get done and for many aspects of our lives that may seem to be true. We feel like we can’t get enough of it and we could always use having more. It’s this dynamic which we encounter on an all too often basis that causes us to lose perspective on the habit of having patience. Losing our patience because we feel like we don’t have enough time to get things done is for another subject on time management, but for the purpose of our financial well-being and financial freedom, time and patience need to be looked at a little differently. To achieve financial freedom, we need to realize and understand that it takes time…a long time (years, decades) to reach a place of financial independence provided we take the right steps along the way. And with that, it takes patience to get us through the journey. Without patience, we will never reach our goals and achieve success.
Can You Have Success without Patience
When you’re young you don’t always realize the value of time, specifically as it relates to money. The fact is that time is your most valuable commodity when it comes to creating wealth. That means you need to take advantage as soon as possible early on in life to really reap the benefits it offers. But that doesn’t mean your situation is hopeless if you haven’t.
The earlier you start with good money habits and practicing having patience along the way, the sooner you will achieve the financial freedom you desire. Actually, there is no bad time to start with good money habits and practicing patients. No matter where you are on your journey, whether you started early or whether you started late in life, patients is a major requirement either way.
“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow – that is patience.” – Unknown
So, regardless of whatever point you may currently be in your life right now, it’s never too late to start with those good money habits, so you shouldn’t let that discourage you from ever starting. Just always remember the importance of practicing patience, because that is the main ingredient in the recipe. Without it you’ll end up giving up and you won’t get to where you want to be.
The most successful people in the world who you recognize for their success didn’t get there overnight. You’re only seeing the results of the many years of efforts, habits, discipline, etc. which got them to reach their high levels of achievement. At some point in their journey, they were where you are now, because every expert was once a beginner. You need to always remember that!
