Social media shows doomsayers, pessimists, and even truther-prepper types blasting out warnings of impending doom and gloom. You may feel the urge to fight if you can bear this without your emotions causing you to flee or freeze.
But what does fighting for your future mean? Unfortunately, much internet commentary directs your focus to what others are doing and how they affect you, calling for action to demand change. While this may have its place, it neglects the freedom we already possess and can inadvertently bypass our authority and control.
Here are a few simple things to think about that can help you fight against the future you don’t want, by building the future you do want.
Financial Future
Securing your financial stability is the cornerstone of building a successful future. This starts with becoming debt-free. Debt is a shackle that limits your freedom and ties you to a system you might not align with. Aim to clear your debts quickly and avoid taking on new ones.
Next, focus on land ownership. Owning land provides a place to call home and offers opportunities for self-sufficiency, such as gardening, raising livestock, or even setting up a small business. This autonomy can buffer against economic uncertainties and offer a sense of security.
Continually work towards a sustainable income. Whether through traditional employment, investments, freelancing, or entrepreneurial ventures, ensure your income sources are diversified and resilient to economic shifts. Build skills that are in demand and can be adapted to various roles. Financial independence is crucial in crafting a future you control rather than one external force dictates.
Education
Education is the foundation of personal and professional growth. Embrace self-study and continuous learning. The more skills and knowledge you acquire, the more adaptable you become in a rapidly changing world. Invest in personal improvement by setting aside time for reading, courses, and practical skill-building.
Homeschooling is another powerful tool. It allows you to tailor education to your family’s needs and values, ensuring your children learn what truly matters. Foster a love of learning in your household, emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, and practical skills over rote memorization.
Family Protection
Protecting your family goes beyond physical safety; it involves being a guiding force and a source of stability. We must also protect our families from negative and misguided influences. Be a leader to your children by setting a positive example. Teach them resilience, self-reliance, and the importance of moral values. Strengthen bonds with your siblings through support and cooperation, creating a solid familial network.
Honoring your seniors is equally essential. They possess invaluable wisdom and experience. Encourage intergenerational communication and respect, ensuring your family’s heritage and lessons are passed down.
Mindset
Your mindset is the driving force behind every action. Take ownership of your life and decisions, understanding that responsibility and accountability are keys to freedom. Respect your time and finances, recognizing them as finite resources that require careful management.
Develop a mindset of resilience and adaptability. Life is unpredictable, and being mentally prepared for challenges ensures you can face them head-on. Cultivate a positive outlook, focusing on solutions rather than problems. This proactive attitude will guide you in building the life you want.
Community Building
No one succeeds alone. Connect with people who share your values and vision. Building a community of like-minded individuals offers support, shared resources, and collective wisdom. Engage in activities and friendships that bring joy and complement your life.
We would like to take it a step further by saying, we don’t build the future we want as a reaction to the future we don’t want. We build, because we love, its fun and fulfilling. Our fight is to thrive, not to survive. Survival is a consequence of thriving. So aim high! Take control of your life, embrace self-responsibility, and connect with others on the same path.
