Living wrong Life

-->

-->

What if you woke up one morning and realized you were living the wrong life?

Many people which I meet during my travels, ask me why I left my home country behind to move overseas. The most honest answer I can give is that I really realized one day that I have been living the wrong life when I was in my early twenties and then I have done a U-Turn in my live.

I was working for a big company in Germany, had a nice car, a stable life and a good developed circle of friends. However from time to time I had this silent question in my mind, which became louder and louder from day to day:

“Why I am here?”

Maybe I didn't know the answer, but one thing was for sure, I did not wanted to spend my life working for the next 40 years! I was feeling like a Bengalian Tiger, who is kept in a cage. I could be a good employee, a good working man and a good tool, but I would not be happy, because this is not where I belong to.

Since this day a lot of things have changed in my life. I left everything behind, I travel and live in many differnt countries, I'm working less but I'm enjoying and learning much more and I'm a happier person!

I did not had a Million Dollar in my bank account, in fact it was only about $3,000. I started small and I developed a plan and strategies on my way, the most important step was to take action!

I'm writng this lines, because I honestly believe, that there are many people out there, who are asking themselves similar questions. The truth is, to think about the purpose of life is not the beginning of a mental illness, but it is the beginning of the human maturity.

Why is not everybody interested to know their personal purpose of life? Personally I believe there are two reasons. At first, people have very different personalities, which is good. But the second reason is, that in todays society we are so much distracted with television shows, mass media, advertisement, shopping and activities, that we are too busy to ask ourselves the really important questions of life.

However, if you ask yourself a new question, you will open a door to completely new and infinite possibilities:

“Where I am coming from? Why I am here? Where I am going?”

My next blog update will be posted in a while, so now you have time to contemplate about those questions. Take care my dear friends and always remember that life is a book and you are it's autor!

 

Freedom

From a poor nobody to a Mini-Retirement by age 25

I am a hardcore vagabond. I was born in Europe but have lived and traveled in several countries since. I am fluent in three languages and have learnt and continue to learn every new skill at the school called LIFE. Personality Development has been my topic of interest for a few years now.

I was employed with Vodafone for four years. Very soon, I was designated branch supervisor and was responsible for a new Vodafone franchise store. Though the money was good, I found myself with little or no time to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Soon I realized that I was stuck in the "rat race", working six-hour days six days a week!! Before long I was suffering from the "burnout syndrome" and I decided that it was time to make a positive change in my life.

I left for Australia after bidding my old life goodbye simply because I wanted to learn how to make money work for me. My biggest motivation is that I don't want to work all my life for money and make somebody else rich. After traveling across Australia and finding myself completely broke, I started working for an export company in Perth. It was around this time that I discovered a new BIG interest: INVESTMENT. I started reading books by Robert Kiyosaki: "Rich Dad – Poor Dad" and "The Cashflow Quadrant". I started implementing Kiyosaki's cashflow management strategies right away and began to increase my savings immensely. Inspired by Kiyosaki's books I set an d achieved the goal of saving $10,000 in just five months.
I quit my job in Perth on a six-month long mini-retirement plan. My goal was to visit not only all the capital cities of each region in Australia but also the Outback. Between these six months, I also traveled to Thailand to learn everything about the real estate situation there and also spent one month traveling across Europe.

I am in New Zealand now, with the twin goals of becoming a Permanent Resident and starting with investment to become financially independent in 7 to 10 years. I believe financial intelligence is the key to success and happiness, and with the right mindset, EVERYTHING is possible!

So my readers and friends ... just dare dream big, believe in yourself, keep an open and positive mindset to learn new things, focus on "what you want in life" and you will get there ... just like I did :)

P.S.: If you want to be financial independent and travel the world then get those two books now and get out of the rat race!
