FMOOD 0213: From Ramen to Rolex

Visualization is important while we're on the journey to get out of debt and get into prosperity. I'm a big believer in visualizing where you're at and where you want to be someday. It's too easy to get stuck within our own confines and limitations if we refuse to allow our imaginations to run free a bit for our own benefit.   Most of us think of ramen noodles and equate it as a significant part of a college student's diet. While it's on the lighter side to reflect back on those days, there are some who are actually buying ramen noodles now in order to have enough groceries to feed the family until the next paycheck. This isn't a fun or lighthearted scenario; it's actually a real source of pain and discouragement.   It's too easy to get demoralized by constantly focusing on the ramen days. We need to force ourselves to break away from this line of thinking by envisioning the Rolex days to come. Without sounding like a rah-rah session, I will say that while you may never actually purchase a Rolex watch someday (I probably won't only because I don't like to wear watches), you can still keep yourself in a prosperity mindset rather than constantly staying focused on being broke and in debt.    The problem that a lot of folks run into is that they are only focusing on one part of all of this: getting out of debt. While that is absolutely a huge part of the success equation, it's not the entire journey. The journey does not end when you get out of debt or get your debt under control. You still have an entire second half that may actually take longer than the first. Stay as motivated as you have been so that you don't stop short and you will eventually realize the end game: getting yourself into prosperity.   If you know someone who may benefit from this show, please feel free to share it by sending them to http://followmeoutofdebt.com.
