1. What am I good at?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStudy ability\u201d: this word defines my determination to learn, study, research, look for alternatives and solutions to problems and challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proactivity: one of the meanings of the prefix “pro” means anticipation. As a proactive person I am always anticipating events, making plans for how to act in the future based on a rational analysis of the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resilience: my ability to overcome obstacles or withstand the pressure of adverse situations without falling into despair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professionalism: my determination to do the job correctly and well planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Punctuality: this characteristic is a sign of respect, commitment to others and is increasingly valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empathy: my ability to put myself in people’s shoes, to understand how they make their decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altruism: it is the attitude of giving up personal interests for the benefit of another person or the collective interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. What do I value?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Willingness: the ability to be always alert, willing and available for the most different tasks, without anyone being in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Courage: ability to face challenges with confidence and fearlessness or to expose yourself in crisis or difficulty situations with confidence and firmness, even taking risks that most would not take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temperance: it means balancing myself, putting oneself under limits and trying to ensure the control of the will over instincts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we know we usually value some of what we are good at, in my case I chose 3 of all things that I am good at that I also value: punctuality, empathy and altruism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. How did I get here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe my entire life I have been always been a hardworking and proactive person. I have always fought for what I want and never let anybody tell me I can\u2019t or won\u2019t get there, I think I am the only person who can say that to myself. I have always been taught to think ahead and plan my future specially, financially speaking. My father always told me we need to plan our future to have a more relaxed elderly age and not depend on family or friends for any help or assistance. so I always have the idea of being totally independent in my life and I believe this represented a large portion of my hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Where am I going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Achieving financial independence is a big dream that, to many people, seems distant and difficult to achieve. But with good planning it is possible to get there. Just like most people, my I want to achieve my financial independence and for that I have a few things in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plan my budget<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put on paper everything I earn and spend in a month, semester or year. This is essential in organizing and planning for the future, as well as being the most effective way to control finances. I should also consider eventual expenses, which weigh in the budget. Therefore, it is necessary to have control over consumerist impulses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dreaming is the fuel that drives you forward. When you have a dream as a goal, immediate consumption no longer causes the same satisfaction, as there is a greater goal for money. When someone has no dreams, there is no need to save and it is easier to have a financial imbalance and suffer that feeling of frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work with pleasure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing what you like and working with something that gives you pleasure and satisfaction usually ends up generating a bigger and more positive result. This creates a stimulus and, therefore, it is more pleasant to get the money you need to become independent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
