BECOME A LIFELONG LEARNER

Graduating High School, College, or Grad School should NOT be the end of your learning.

Continuing your education can be as simple as cracking open a book or taking an online class. Heck, you can sign up for a cooking class at the local community college. Even online webinars can change your life.

So, why not give it a shot and take a chance at learning something new?

Who knows you might just learn something? Remember, don’t stop there go ahead and sign up for the next class.

GET TO WORK ON AN EMERGENCY FUND

Having an emergency money fund is something that everyone should ALWAYS either is building up or already has in place (and then adding more). Most people call their emergency fund their “Rainy Day” fund.

Remember, those rainy days can happen at any time. Usually, rainy days don’t always come in the form of rain or a hurricane, just ask the victims of the EF5 multiple-vortex tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri in 2011.

Rainy Days are not always about the weather. They can be a job loss, a mechanical failure of your automobile, or a ruptured water line.

While things are better than the worst thing that could happen start saving. Save what you can, when you can or you can set a goal that goes a little something like this: “In 36 months I will have saved enough money to cover six months of pay.”

Half a year’s pay is definitely something doable especially if you put your mind and wallet into it. Start as soon as possible, your future self will thank you for it.

Thank you,

CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK

We are the inventors of our own DEMISE.

So cut yourself some slack!

As individuals, many of us tend to SABOTAGE our happiness for numerous reasons. For some unexplained reason we create obstacles that make achieving happiness almost impossible. We self-impose rules that are designed to be almost impossible to successfully keep. Then when you can’t keep those rules you feel bad and guilty for not doing more, even when you were doing all you could.

So why not ease up on your own rules and on yourself.

Take this subtle reminder from the great Italian sculptor, painter, and architect MICHELANGELO: “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”
