How to Practice Patience

What’s going on today my friends? The topic today is patience, I feel if you practice patience you can successfully train the mind to do extraordinary things. For example you can become a better person by not letting impulses drive your actions. The number one detriment to people becoming wealthy today is a lack of patience. The Delayed gratification phrase is steadily being played out like a 90s hit song all over the personal finance world, but it is the sad truth many people are faced with because we all want things now.

In this society patience is running thin, and I see the harmful effects of this every day. From the careless drivers who cannot help themselves to look up away from their cell phones, to the guys running up enormous bar tabs to impress girls at a bar. It all boils down to having patience in life. I will share with all of you today how to practice patience and I hope you can see the benefits to why you would want to practice being more patient in life. How to practice patience examples listed below:

The Last Hundred Dollars

A new series is born today, with the premise that now I will let you in to see the last things that I spent a hundred dollars on. Imagine if you only had a hundred dollars to your name, what would you spend it on? The last hundred is a way to lighten up the financial blogosphere with something unique.

Yeah I could give you a bunch of boring spreadsheets showing my monthly net worth, but that’s been done a thousand times over. Also part of me is still hesitant to fully reveal my financial numbers in all its lowly glory. What will this accomplish, maybe nothing. But it sure is exciting to see what people spend money on, don’t you think?

The summer is now here and I am excited to have fun in the sun. See below for all the spending based off the last hundred dollars.

An Oath To Father’s Day

Yesterday was father’s day and I’m here to say all the things some fathers do to support the household. We do our best to hold down the fort in any way possible. This post is obviously from my experience as a father and as a son who was raised by a great father. An Oath to Father’s Day is all the things great father’s do all year round in many ways to show support. What were some of the things your father did for you in your childhood home? See below for the best father’s day list ever:

An Oath To Father’s Day:

We are Leaders

An	Oath	To	Father’s Day
Leaders	Healers	Builders	Providers
Garbage Men	Teachers	Mayors	Chefs
Supporters	Videographers	Coaches	Psychologists
Dish Washers	Husbands	Directors	House Cleaners
Judges	Movers	Comedians	Dancers
Photographers	Trainers	Piggy Bank Managers	Taxi Drivers
Debaters	Role Models	Painters	Fathers

We are Fathers

I know maybe I missed a few of the jobs and roles we have as fathers. As a way to motivate each other, if you are ever struggling to find a career remember all the things you do as father and maybe you can find a job doing one of these roles. It takes real courage to provide for a family, and if you have a career crisis, just do your best to do any job for the sake of the family. It doesn’t matter what you do, all that matters is that you can successfully put some food on the table.

If you can think of a few I missed, send them over and Ill gladly add them to the list. Why did I do a list like this, because I take pride in everything I do to support my family?

An Oath to Father’s Day is about appreciating all the little things father’s do and I hope you can leave a comment on this great topic.

This obviously will not be a 1000 word post, explaining what a Venn diagram is and how that will benefit your probable retirement. No it’s basically just a list of all the items I recently purchased that sum up to the last hundred dollars. By the way have you seen the new $100 dollar bill, it looks futuristic in every way possible. At first I thought what an un-American thing to do with all those annoying colors schemes. The dollar should forever be remembered as classic green. But then it dawned on me we are trying to out-fancy the Euro currency with some style and fashion sprucing. Now let’s jump into what crazy items add up to a big ben franklin.

Where do I see Myself in Five Years?

The title question is probably asked millions of times a day by people in random situations. Where do I see myself in five years? I wanted to give you a personal post where I answer the question. By doing this publicly I hope to achieve all the goals I have for my family in the next 5 years. Hey you reading this, have you ever written down your 5 year goals list for your current life situation. If not then I recommend you proceed diligently to find a pen and paper to complete a 5 year list today. Why did I finally decide to write a post about this now? First off because I lose paperwork all the time. Secondly because files on my computer can get lost for a myriad of techie reasons. Third reason is primarily because I freaking want to.

I talk with people from time to time and they either do not have goals or could care less to think about where they will be in 5 years. If you are not forward thinking then you might as well start literally taking steps backwards. Just take a post it, write down the goals you want to accomplish in 5 years, laminate it and put it on the fridge. That’s a fun weekend project you can do with your kids. So where do I see myself in five years?
