Take Control of Your Financial Future

January 13, 2014

You know how important financial stability is to achieving any level of success. When you feel uncertain about your financial future, it can make it hard to focus on what’s important to you. Perhaps you’ve had to make decisions about where and how you spend your time that are contrary to how you’d spend your time if you felt financially stable.

Even in times like these when many people are feeling uncertain about their ability to secure their financial future, you don’t have to feel uncertain.

Even when others are struggling to achieve financial stability, you can achieve financial stability.  By taking small steps and making this a priority, anyone who wants to CAN achieve.

Today’s affirmation is a reminder that you can have financial security if you do what others will not do:

I can achieve financial stability.

Financial stability is one of my goals in life. I believe I can attain it honestly by working hard. However, the hard work that is required for financial achievement is easy for me. When I focus on my end goal, the work required to get there seems effortless.

Planning my future contributes to my financial goal. I set targets for 5 and 10 years down the line. I commit to savings and investments based on those targets.

When I set a monthly savings goal, I stick to that commitment. I know that building for tomorrow is more important that taking care of today’s wants.

I allow myself to partake in frivolous spending once in a while. I believe that enjoyment of what I have acquired only encourages me to keep working for more.

My life goals are prioritized based on long-term desires. I remain unperturbed by the achievements of others in the present. The experiences of others are unique. I look forward to my own celebration at the targeted times.

Self-Reflection Questions:

 1.            Do I use the experiences of others to dictate my financial decisions?

2.            What kind of advice do I need to secure my financial position?

3.            How can I enjoy my money now, yet still prepare for my future?

Today, having financial stability means having peace of mind. I continue to work towards financial wellness. Each day, I make wise spending decisions and stick to my savings goals. The life I live years down the road is dependent on the life I live today.
