Contrast Leads to New Desires
by Stacey Mayo In these turbulent times of war and unrest, there is much contrast in our lives between where the world is with regard to peace and where many want to be. If this contrast has evoked the desire for peace in you, then the best thing you can do is look for ways to feel more peaceful about your own life. Look at your relationships with others and with yourself. Where there is angst or disturbance, take responsibility for creating peace. When we are at peace, we bring that calm energy out into the world and it affects others. If watching the televised broadcasts of the war makes you feel anxious, then turn it off and focus your energy on things that make you feel peaceful. Much contrast has also been born out of the current economic conditions and the bear market. Most people were dependent on their current jobs, businesses or the stock market for their income. Some have lost their jobs and businesses and others are afraid they will. Some are finding themselves needing to work more years because their nest egg dwindled in the stock market. Out of contrast comes desire. Perhaps the new desire is to feel secure again. But how can I do that, you say? How can I ever feel secure with any job or investment again? One way is to create multiple streams of income such that if one stream takes a dip, you have others in place. Many of the most successful people in the world have multiple streams. Others view them as risk-takers but generally speaking they educate themselves before jumping into something and they have back-up plans or other streams of income in place. Generally speaking there are four different groups of income streams:
Paper investments and trades
Real Estate
Information
Entrepreneur – service or product
These are in addition to being an employee of a company and receiving a paycheck.One successful artist I know has several lines of jewelry to meet different income groups. His does this because he never knows where the demand will be anymore. So if the demand for expensive jewelry dissipates for a while, he has items priced for lower budgets. I am adding to my streams by producing informational products to support people in living out their dreams. These products can help people who have smaller budgets or who are do-it-yourselfers. These products will keep working when I am not.
Financial independence is a dream that doesn’t have to die because of the current world situation. Rather allow the contrast to bring out new desires and new ways of creating what you want. What new stream of income do you want to create? Take one step forward today by educating yourself on the stream that most interests you. Consider hiring a coach to help you create multiple streams of income and get back on the path towards financial independence.
