Currently, I have only one obsession in my life, achieving financial freedom.
But sometimes I do wonder, when did it all start?
Because I wasn’t born like this, I wasn’t like these while growing up. And then one day when I opened my eyes I realized I was struggling to secure my foot into this world.
I am not the only one who this struggle either. Everyone has faced, still faces or will face this struggle. Because as an adult our worth is defined by our earnings.
If we don’t earn anything, then we are worthless. That means even if we vanish in front of everyone, I doubt anyone would care.
As a kid, all of us were sheltered by our parents and in a way, we did the same thing to them.
If both the parents or either of them gave us whatever we wanted, they would become our favorite. And someday if they couldn’t, we used to get angry at them.
But growing up meant we had to leave the shelter, and then studies gave us another shelter.
As long as we are studying people would still value us. Because the higher the study, they assume the higher the income will be. Which is in fact never the case.
And when we are done with our studies or quit it, we again become shelterless.
In different phases of our lives, different things gave us shelter and those shelters became our identity. But our final shelter will always be our earnings.
If we want love, respect, opportunities, benefits etc. from people and society, we need our own earnings.
Without it, in this modern world, our name isn’t enough to identify us.
Thank you for staying until the end!
