Something regularly overlooked in life is momentum, to which self-awareness is a prerequisite for its attainment. Knowing what momentum is for some can be incomprehensible, I’m having a hot streak or they say life is just great right now. Don’t think I’m knocking anyone because we all have been there at some point or another, but whenever you’re at a place in your life when everything seems to be going great for you, you need to be vigilant because you can get caught up in the moment of it all and waste a potential booster for building real momentum in your life.
If it’s one thing I have noticed is that life is truly a cycle. When I say cycle just imagine a clock from 12 to 6 is the downtrend and from 6 to 12 is the uptrend now mindfulness is needed because one has to ask themselve all the time where am I in the cycle, am I trending up or am I in a downtrend? In the up times, generally a good financial idea is for you to save as much as you can and putting a little to the side as contingency for the down trend. Now if utilized properly what you attained during the uptrend will make sure you survive the upcoming downtrend and if you’re extremely balanced you will make the necessary adjustments in the downtrend creating surplus to use as a booster during the next upcoming cycle multiplying your successes during the good times and as they say just rinse and repeat.
