How To Stay Motivated...

Let me tell a story...


Now your typical working day is  9am -6pm

Now if your extremely lucky! Chances are you don't live on the door step of your work! (this could also be unlucky too)
Maybe you work in an office, factory, school hospitals etc

You probably have to travel at least 30mins to get there and back!

9 hours + 30mins there and + 30mins back = 10 hours! Which leaves you 14 hours left of the day!

Now if you need or its recommended you get at least 8 hours sleep a night to help your body recover, repair itself and maintain its health that leaves 6 hours of the day left!

Now most people don't fall asleep straight away!! so you probably will actually goto bed for 9 hours but toss and turn for an hour till you fall asleep giving you 8 hours so that leaves 5 HOURS

Now when you come back from work 6.30ish on a good unless you get stuck in traffic, the last thing you want to do is work, and will probably spend 30 minutes or so preparing and cooking yourself something to eat (4.5 hours left)

See to your kids and catch up with your partner or friends perhaps for 30-60 minutes (3.5 hours left)

Then spend time watching or catching up with your favourite TV show or film (30-90 mins) leaving you with (2 hours) by this time its getting late and near 10pm at night your starting to get tired!

Is it any wonder why people get stuck in the rat race! its like quick sand!

When people say stuff like go to the gym 4-5 times a week for at least an hour at a time! or spend time in the evening working on your business!

Most of the time these people WORK in that industry, a fitness expert will say;
'Theres No excuses' But if they WORK in a gym its easier for THEM to workout etc

Yes excuses are easy to use and hide behind! BUT this story isn't fictional! You can probably think right now of many people and real life examples who could and DO act out this story day in day out!
They, like you!.... might want to escape! in fact you almost certainly, deep inside would want out! FREEDOM to do what you want when you want!

(Now this story doesn't include jobs with shift work! or many managers who rarely will say they stick to 9 hours a day! They will still be at work long after they should of gone home! Nurses and Doctors for example will typically work a 10-12 hour shift)

FOR ME THIS STORY....
Is what drives me on to educate myself, and become financially free!

And on a side note, browsing Facebook...
I saw a friend suffering with a bad back from work and has been off and going back to work later on today....
Made me think again how often do we sacrifice our health for dead end jobs we think will take care of us but are now showing that they won't.
Not often you hear millionaires and billionaires complaining about bad backs haha
