Hello everyone and welcome to my blog, today am writing on building a life, please as you read engage 🙏
I must say when I saw this week's topic it really got me thinking because my mind right now,is like a messy jumble of random thoughts. Also you’d see a single, bright, and persistent idea, almost like a blueprint spread out on a giant table. It’s a plan, my dream of How to Build a Future. There are a lot of them but the main ones are the first three main pillars: the first, making enough money, second, building a comfortable house, and thirdly buying a reliable car. This isn't just a passing fancy; it’s the central project of my life right now.
The first and most challenging part of my dream is the foundation. Making the money is not for fancy things or showing off. is like a raw material or parmit me to say the bricks and mortar of everything else. Without it, the dream of building a house remains a drawing, and the car is just a picture. So, my mind is constantly working on this puzzle. How do I build a steady stream of income that is strong enough to support such heavy dreams.
I’ve realized it’s not just about working harder at any job. It’s about working smarter. My brain is filled with thoughts First, there’s the main job,the dependable, nine-to-five engine that brings in a regular paycheck. My focus is on being so good at this job that I become invaluable, I think about learning new skills, taking on extra responsibilities, and understanding the business inside and out. This is the steady, reliable heartbeat of the financial plan.But a heartbeat isn't enough to run this fantasy of mine. So, my mind also more into the world of side hustles. In the quiet hours of the weekends, I find what else I can do.The extra money is earmarked for a special purpose. Every extra dollar earned I save and investing. Earning money is one of holding onto it and making it grow is another. I think a lot about budgets, about distinguishing between what I want and what I truly need. That daily data I use to subscribe for my phone,the unnecessary food and much unnecessary stuff. When I multiply that by weeks and months, I see it as a handful of bricks being tossed away as sive am wasting money.I trained my mind to learn the language of patience and delayed gratification. I read about simple investments, and putting aside a little money regularly can, over time, grow into a substantial sum through the magic of compound interest. This is the long term part of the plan, the one that requires the most discipline but promises the greatest reward.
Once the financial foundation is secure, the second part of the dream comes to life. the house. This is more than just a building to me. It's a place of my own. I don’t just dream of the final product, I dream of the process. I imagine finding the perfect piece of land, the thought of building it, rather than just buying it. It means every detail can be a reflection of me and my family. Choosing the tiles for the bathroom, the color of the walls, This house represents stability. a testament to all the hard work.
The third pillar of my dream, the car, might seem simpler, but it’s a vital piece of my plan. The car represents freedom and mobility. It’s the machine that will connect the house to the rest of the world. In my mind, it’s not a flashy sports car. It’s a solid, reliable, safe vehicle. I dream of the simple pleasure of a smooth, quiet engine. I think about road trips, about being able to drive to the hardware store for supplies for the house, or to visit family without depending on anyone else. It is the key to unlocking experiences and fulfilling responsibilities with ease.What join these three dreams together is a sense of progression and self-reliance. The money is the effort and the strategy. The house is the reward and the roots. The car is the freedom and the wings.
In summary, some days, my dreams feel overwhelming. The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems vast. But then I bring my focus back to the first step. Today's task, this week’s budget, this month’s savings goal. I remember that every great structure, whether it's being a skyscraper or a simple life, is built one brick at a time. The car won't appear in the driveway overnight, and the house won't rise from the ground in a week. But with every small choice, every saved dollar, and every new skill learned, I am laying a foundation. And that is what is constantly on my mind, the quiet, determined, and hopeful work of drawing and then building the life I envision, from the ground up.
